I couldn't find the word 'Lasseter' in that post.

After the MeToo allegations, his contributions have been removedâor
at least significantly downplayedâin Disney and Pixarâs accounts
of Pixarâs origins.

With guys who are in prestigious/powerful corporate positions, I
wonder if there is a fundamental issue where everybody tends to
brown nose them, but female brown nosing sometimes gets
misinterpreted as flirtation and interest.
And because guys in these sorts of positions actually do get an
overpowered amount of real interest from women, they may have a
harder time detecting inauthentic interest-alias
than say a random janitor guy who a woman is being artificially
nice to for some reason.
And then if the guy mistakenly thinks the woman is interested and
makes a move, the woman may then in the moment feel unsure about
what to do, because an abrupt rejection that contradicts their
earlier outward behavior may make them feel not good, they might
feel like they caused it, etc (which I think lines up with accounts
Iâve read, except they donât mention the brown nosing part of
the theorized pattern).
This doesnât excuse anything, necessarily, I just wonder if there
are some complex dynamics at play. This setup we have where sexual
relations are at will, subject only to consent, is not that old, so
it wouldnât be surprising if the system as-is still produces very
bad outcomes at times even if the parties involved are all behaving
in a non-psychopathic way.

This is demonstrably not true.
He has fairly equal representation as the other founders on their
history page [1] He also is directly mentioned in the Disney+
docuseries on ILM, and was part of Catmulâs retrospective on Toy
Story as recently as this year [2] Pixar and Disney havenât been
shying away from his involvement in their history

Hm, the fact that he was mentioned or referenced does not prove
that his role was downplayed, a quick search of the interwebs
shows:
- 2018 Oscars: Despite his massive influence on Coco, none of the
filmmakers mentioned him by name in their acceptance speeches for
Best Animated Feature.
- Film Premieres: Lasseter did not attend the 2018 premiere of
Incredibles 2, a film he was heavily involved in, further
signaling his detachment from official company events.

Nor Catmull, unfortunately. FWIW, the article is centered around the
financing and IPO side of the story.

This explains today's Pixar better than any anomaly like
"expertise", "talent", or "insight". Investors should never be
regarded as retarded, but it's a label they should aspire to. As it
stands it looks like disney enjoys heating the home by burning
pixar stock.
Zootopia 2 was pretty good tho, ngl
Edit: no, zootopia is not pixar.

Zootopia isn't a Pixar property right?
