The whole point of ethics is to know when to say "no" to giving people what they say they want. It's kind of like a "constitutional democracy." The constitution exists to limit the things a people can say they want.
I assume by "people" you mean "marketing weasels" because everyone I've talked to about this either finds somewhere between incredibly tasteless and a sexist attack on women.
Chapman fumed. "When little girls say they like it because it's more sparkly, that's all fine and good but, subconsciously, they are soaking in the sexy 'come hither' look and the skinny aspect of the new version.

Merida was created to break that mold — to give young girls a better, stronger role model, a more attainable role model, something of substance, not just a pretty face that waits around for romance."
That seems to indicate they tested it, and it performs better. The pushback seems to be from people whose agendas aren't being served.
Nothing hidden about Chapman's agenda. Nothing nefarious about it, either. It's an agenda I agree with. But the pushback definitely is coming from people whose agendas aren't being served.
Where did I say there's a hidden agenda? It's not hidden, it's front and center.
