Apologies again for the delay getting this one up - Disney is a cruel mistress - but it's here! 'Eugenics' is often reserved to the realms of racist old slave-owners and long-dead fascist dictators, but it turns out it's a pervasive ideology we still see in media today. As a chief example, I decided to strip down Sky High, Disney's 2005 superhero romp - this is a fun one, more in the style of a Lindsay Ellis or Hbomberguy video, and I really hope people enjoy it!

As always, sharing this around would be massively appreciated. In any case, keep an eye out - there should be more to come sooner than you think!

Sky High: Disney's Fascist Eugenics Movie

Much of this is due to media, which can - intentionally or not - turn fascism into something attractive or at least non-threatening. One of those pieces of media, it turns out, is a Disney superhero movie from 2005. CLARIFICATION (04/09/18): I was very careful about directing basically all of my criticisms of Sky High towards the film itself, not its creators, and there's a reason for that. As I say in the video, I don't think these kinds of tropes only come about with deliberately bad intentions, and as such I by no means want to label anyone who worked on the film a fascist themselves. Please don't harass people. Now, unfortunately, I'm also a bit of an idiot so I recorded everything without double-checking if 'propaganda' could be unintentional. It turns out the general consensus is no, so my use of the term in the video is inaccurate. "Misinformation" would be the better phrasing. My apologies, and I won't let it happen again.
