Yeah, I don’t know how Disney greenlight Andor, given that they haven’t exactly been especially anti fascist in their real world politics. Though I will give them a very small credit for keeping Jimmy Kimmel on (albeit after public pushback, which is why they get very little credit).
Actually, that’s not the only surprising thing they greenlight recently. Apparently the concept for Zootopia was basically stolen. The writer sued and lost (those sorts of cases are really hard to win). But the plot of Zootopia 2 appears to be basically an apology. See: https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/zootopia-exposed-part-one . How Disney legal let that go, I have no idea.
You must not have seen the Andor series. Fascism is upfront and center.
But it isn’t real-world fascism. Fantasy fascism is ok to topple.

Disney greenlit Andor for the same reason Fox had the Simpsons all those years: money.
