They didn't make us seem cool either, and this for me is the most problematic part of the article. First of all he decided to call us "Disnoids" which supposedly was a term used by Katzenberg for us. Yuck. Then there's this description (any typos are mine):

Part of what makes the Disnoids so suspect to the rest of us is that they're so serious about something so fun. At the nadir of America's pop-culture irony boom, they share an unironic love for the last remaining fortress of straight, buttoned-down, "middle-class" values, for the only unironic 85 acres left in America. As a group they're generally optimistic, wholesome people who believe in magic and think a good Saturday night includes a little Dixieland and maybe some swing dancing. They are men and women who still marvel at the conceit behind It's a Small World, basically flesh-and-blood, sentimentalized versions of our grandparents. They long for an America - and it once truly existed - where families dressed up in Sunday suits and dresses for a visit to Disneyland. It skeeves us out. They're so unhip.

Obviously, even after he talked to Dusty he still didn't realize the size of the gay urban fan base...
BTW, wtf does "skeeves" mean?
