Actually I read the line "I forget that Disney's goal is to make money without concern for integrity. Silly me."
as implying exactly that.

I think your sarcasm detector is broken. She didn't actually mean she forgot that Disney is out to make money.

It's entirely possible for her to be sarcastic about it after the fact while recognising that's what she's done.

>> What makes you think she didn't see this coming? What makes you think she was naive about it? The article certainly doesn't suggest she wasn't.
Personally, I think she knew it could happen but hoped it wouldn't. But she made her deal with the devil - make the movie and lose the rights, or not make the movie at all.
Also, let's not forget that she will still make money from the changes to the character -- if Disney's research proves to be right, she'll actually be making more money from those changes than she would have pre-change.
The creator's actually in a pretty good position, she can complain about the change while potentially making more profits from them.
You seem to be arguing against someone who would ask "how could this have happened?" You're the only person who brought up that question, two posts up.
