Disney has always been run by fucktards. They produce some good content, sure. But why does it seem that half the girls who go through Disney wind up basically sluts? So given that it seems to be a sex training factory, they have to do stupid shit like this to cover their asses and give the appearance that they care.

Well, to be fair, Disney doesn't sexualize these people. It's the rest of us that do that. We'll sexualize anything put in front of us.
As we all know, you can't generally prove a negative, so we can only go by what has been seen. Some groups absolutely objectify their child performers. So far I've seen nothing to suggest that Disney does. In fact, these appear to be more examples of a generic phenomenon - the need to do overtly adult material in order to graduate from child stardom.
Think of Daniel Radcliffe doing "Equus" pretty soon after leaving Harry Potter.
Miley Cyrus might be the best known example of that: Her early career was as a star of children's TV for Disney, and her life was under constant scrutiny and control because of Disney's dedication to maintaining an unblemished image. Then came 2010 and her eighteenth birthday, after which she made a deliberate effort to distance herself from the sparkles-and-smiles Disney era of her career. She made the transition successfully and remained a star, but one of a very different type.

I don't know that's true, the first part I mean. What all is happening to those mouseketeers behind the scenes?
