The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 592 Under Siege
Changes in the broader social environment are affecting all aspects of life.

This summer in North America, Disney's "Tangled" immediately sparked considerable controversy upon its release. Several countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and Indonesia issued public statements refusing to allow "Tangled" into their markets.

Because the film not only features a gay couple as supporting characters, but also a transgender person with a severe fetish.

"Tangled" is a PG-rated family movie, primarily aimed at families with children.

However, the mainstream media in North America were filled with jubilation, showering the film with countless accolades, and the public's interest in "Tangled" skyrocketed.

Demons and monsters are expressing their support for Disney and its movies wildly through the internet and various public occasions.

Whenever media outlets or film critics publish negative reviews, my inbox is immediately flooded with related greetings, and groups even come to my door to protest, accusing me of discrimination.

"Tangled" received rave reviews from the media, with a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an average score of 89 on MetaCritic, both setting new highs since Disney Animation Studios' "The Lion King".

Good word-of-mouth has a huge impact on a film, attracting many families to bring their children to the cinema.

Many of the parents from these families, after leaving the company, only wanted to curse the parents of Disney's management.

Parents disliked the movie, but that didn't stop it from attracting a large audience in the early stages thanks to its excellent media reviews, achieving Disney Animation Studios' best box office performance since The Lion King.

This creates the illusion that adding appropriate LGBTQ elements to movies can garner both positive reviews and substantial commercial revenue.

Disney has benefited greatly and is eager to officially announce the establishment of a diversity department, which will explore incorporating LGBTQ elements into more Disney family-friendly movies, including some of Disney Channel's animated films aimed at younger audiences.

The demons and monsters who have seized the initiative in media opinion have once again sung praises to Disney.

The praise from the media also influenced Disney's decision-making.

Disney partnered with a minority rights advocacy group to bring its cartoon characters, along with monsters and ghosts, into public primary and secondary schools.

After years of development, the invisible net of the LGBTQ movement has spread across the entire American underage population.

Minors who lack sufficient discernment are often powerless to resist even when influenced.

“We quietly rallied some parent organizations in 17 states to make them aware of the seriousness of the problem.”

In his office at the Coast Building, Pierce Madden reported the latest developments to Hawke: "Encouraging them to actively stand up and speak out for the children."

Hawke nodded slightly: "Twitter and LinkedIn have both lifted restrictions on this topic, which will bring their opinions to the forefront."

Pierce said, "Many of them have decided to stand up and fight for a clean school environment for their children."

Hawke specifically cautioned, "The LGBTQ movement cannot be relaxed."

Pierce nodded: "We've been pushing."

The current chaos in North American primary and secondary education owes much to Hawke's behind-the-scenes maneuvering.

After Pierce said goodbye and left, Edward brought over some of the latest newspapers.

He said, "Mainstream print media are now mostly on the side of the LGBTQ movement, even those who support the Donald Party are no exception."

Normally, these should belong to the forces that support the Donald Party.

However, Hawke acted first, cleverly utilizing Cthulhu's powerful influence within the Donkey Party, and successfully positioned Cthulhu against Sylvanas by creating conflict between Cthulhu and the monsters.

The Donkey Party had already realized that monsters and demons were more powerful than Cthulhu, so they naturally wanted to win their support.

Even the media outlets that support the Democratic Party have been speaking out for these demons and monsters.

In the current situation, both the Democratic and Republican parties are vying for them.

Hawke said, "It has taken us more than five years to get the LGBTQ movement to where it is today. It is impossible to get the other side to confront them head-on in a short time. This is just the beginning of the war."

Edward laid out the newspapers and said, "There are a lot of trending topics on Twitter about the anti-LGBTQ movement."

Hawke glanced through the newspaper and quickly browsed Twitter.

Caroline has instructed the technology department to make targeted algorithm adjustments, enabling angry parents to voice their opinions effectively through the internet platform.

One parent who works in the education industry voiced their opposition through their Twitter account.

"Many people with special orientations or gender identities are entering schools to promote their ideas, claiming to protect gender rights and advocate for equality for minorities. However, I firmly believe that such politically motivated propaganda should not enter classrooms, especially primary and secondary school classrooms! This is an unfair double standard applied to other students under the guise of protecting gender rights!"

This person's comment section was almost entirely filled with insults from the LGBTQ community.

Demons and monsters don't engage in reasoned arguments with people; instead, they respond in the most vehement way.

"You're a filthy person!"

"You bastard, you're discriminating against minorities."

"You should be ashamed of your words."

"Should we publish your address? We, as a minority group, will show you what respect truly means."

"How could America have such a depraved person as you? You are a demon."

Peaceful debates do occur, but compared to the number of those who hurl insults, they are so few as to be almost negligible.

This group is too prone to going to extremes.

Faced with such vicious attacks, many parents also expressed strong opinions.

“What happened at my son’s school is absolutely disgusting and outrageous! It’s time to stop these people and this rotten stuff; they’re ruining our children! We should get our children out of those disgusting schools immediately!”

"It is completely inappropriate and offensive to normal people for transgender people and eccentrics to enter schools to promote their ideas and even teach students. They are distorting the minds of innocent young people."

“Those weirdos in schools force children to adopt their disgusting habits. Anyone who dares to say they're wrong is guilty of fear and discrimination!”

"What they demand is never equal treatment in society, but privilege! Privilege that places them above ordinary people and ordinary families!"

These people's Twitter accounts were all attacked by demons and monsters.

The most intelligent among the demons and monsters even went so far as to report the matter to Twitter, hoping that Twitter would ban the related comments.

Twitter will definitely not ban such content, it hasn't done so before, and it won't do so in the future. Previously, Twitter relied on its core algorithm to downplay or ignore comments about opposing demons and monsters, and has never used banning measures.

Hawke, familiar with the cult community, told Edward, "Have the Compton Foundation keep a close eye on the LBGTQ community in Los Angeles. If they try to launch a protest against Twitter or LinkedIn, they should immediately forward it to me."

“They’re imagining things in Los Angeles and California.” Edward grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said, “If anyone tries to organize this kind of public event, our people will use internal strife to make their event collapse automatically, and the leader will be kicked out of the organization and completely ostracized.”

It's hard to say about other states, but in Twitter's home turf, these are all minor issues that are easily resolved.

Hawke pondered for a moment and said, "In other states, monsters can be more radical. Only by constantly becoming radical and evolving can they create more social conflicts."

“I’ll pass the message on.” Edward hesitated for a moment, then asked, “What about Saint Steve?”

Hawke stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and considered the matter very carefully.

He has been working with Steve Nutter since 2003, which is more than seven years.

During this period, Steve even abandoned his political stance, broke away from the NAACP, which was biased towards the Democratic Party, and joined Hawke, Brian, and others to establish the National Association for the Protection of Minority Rights, which was based on the California Elephant Party.

Following the death of Steve Nutter in San Francisco after being knelt on by police, Steve Nutter and Steve Nutter were truly canonized by the LGBTQ community.

The deceased Philip became the spiritual leader.

And Steve the Sage became the de facto leader.

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "Since our support for the LGBTQ movement remains unchanged, our support for Saint Steve also remains unchanged."

Edward said, "I understand."

Hawke added, "Steve is actually the moderate among them."

Edward suddenly recalled some events that had occurred among Black people and said, "Historically, moderates have been easily eliminated by radicals."

Although Steve wasn't exactly a good person either, they had worked together for many years, so Hawke said, "Find an opportunity to remind Steve that the LGBTQ movement is too radical right now. He might actually get killed by radicals or extremists."

Edward understood that Hawke always treated those who started working with him before they became successful much better.

For example, him, Caroline and Steve, etc.

Hawke glanced at the time and said, "Let's go to Venice Beach. Frank's treating us to lunch."

Edward followed, asking as they walked, "What's this guy up to now?"

Frank was getting along famously with the girls from the Venice Beach rescue team, truly enjoying his so-called "retirement life." He rarely contacted Hawke and Edward unless there was something urgent.

Upon arriving at Venice Beach, two sexy girls in red bikinis helped Frank set up an oversized parasol to shield him from the bright summer sun.

Aurora and Marika greeted them first, and the latter stepped forward and said, "Frank went to buy food. Please have a seat, he'll be back in a bit."

Hawke pulled up a chair, sat down at the round table, and asked, "How has his health been lately?"

Aurora took a few cans of beer from the ice bucket and said, "It's the same old problem, your blood pressure and cholesterol are a bit high."

These are all common chronic diseases among the elderly.

Edward opened a can of beer and reminded them, "You guys should still be a little more moderate."

Marika chuckled, "He bought a lot of equipment, and it was quite a unique experience."

Hawke was somewhat curious. Aurora and Marika were only in their early twenties, with good figures and looks, and had been here for at least two years.

Picture what?
Hawke had previously had someone investigate and found that these two, along with three other members of the beach rescue team, were all members of the Cthulhu organization and maintained close ties with the Sorority March.

But later, Hawke used an undercover operation to make Fiona the chairperson of the parade sorority after three years and then another three years, and even had Fiona investigate it.

These people played virtually no role and provided no intelligence to the marching sorority about him and Frank.

Hawke later simply had someone keep an eye on Frank, and as long as Frank didn't cause any trouble, he didn't care about anything else.

A beeping horn sounded, and a green three-wheeled vehicle drove up. Frank drove it a short distance, then switched to reverse and, with a warning voice saying "Please be careful while reversing," parked the three-wheeled vehicle next to the RV.

Aurora and Marika quickly went over to unload the truck and each brought over some packaged food.

Edward glanced at it, then deliberately questioned Frank with displeasure, "Hey old man, you're serving us fast food? Where's my barbecue?"

Frank picked up a box of fried chicken, slammed it down in front of Edward, and said, "Enjoy it."

Edward raised his middle finger and said, "You should be thrown among Indians so you can taste the Ganges."

Speaking of Indians, Frank was full of complaints: "Whenever Indians who do trade with you come to Los Angeles in the future, make sure they stay somewhere far away from Venice Beach."

Marika chimed in, "Those Indians not only like to urinate and defecate anywhere, but the way they stare at us is also very frightening."

Although Aurora has some Indian ancestry, she has no liking for those Indians. She added, "They're like a bunch of rapists who just got out of prison."

Hawke put down his beer and said, "Since you put it that way, next time we'll have West Coast Tech book hotels for the Indians in advance, away from Venice Beach."

“Great!” Marika raised her beer and clinked it against Hawke’s: “On behalf of the beach management, I’d like to toast you.”

Frank came over to clink glasses and said, "Don't get too excited yet. Washington has recently improved its talent recruitment program. High-end Indian tech talent can come to North America visa-free as long as they hold certificates issued in their home country, without needing a company or relatives in the United States to join them. They can get a green card as soon as they start working."

Aurora turned to look at the bustling beach and said, "I hope this place doesn't turn into an open-air public toilet like Mumbai Beach."

Hawke looked at Frank and said, "With him here, it won't happen."

Frank, the king of arrogance, then chimed in: "Next time I encounter an Indian who defecates anywhere, I'll definitely blast his ass apart with a shotgun."

Marika and Aurora opened the takeout package and arranged the various dishes.

The five people ate and chatted.

Hawke specifically asked Frank, "Did you invite me over for dinner because it's something important?"

“A little,” Frank said after a moment’s thought, “about those demons and monsters.”
