Disney owns wayyy too many different subsidiary companies and IPs to just focus on wholesome, family programming. Like they own Fox, FX, ESPN, National Geographic, Hulu, Lucasfilm, Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, huge chunks of other networks like A&E and Vice Media.

You know that hip, edgy Vice News, the one with stories about doing drugs in war torn Africa? Yeah Disney owns like ~16-20% of that.

Disney is EVERYWHERE; be afraid of The Mouse.

That's Disney the company. Disney+, the streaming service, is pursuing family-friendly.

All the edgier material goes on Hulu apparently.
