Meh... Disney is simply waiting for the outrage du jour to pass.
People have a short attention span these days, and they'll latch onto something else to be worked up over next week. And they'll renew that Disney subscription to watch their favorite TV series again.
I am pretty sure you’re wrong with your assessment. People are outraged, even in Europe. Not only did everyone I know in Switzerland and Germany cancel Disney+ on Friday, German speaking comedians and talk show hosts are actively urging everyone to do so asap.
This will not blow over quickly.
Pretty much my experience too. Although, not too many people had Disney+ to begin with...
$3.7 billion is almost as much as Disney paid for all of Star Wars (LucasFilm, Lucasart, etc), my guy.
Also almost the same as they paid for all of Marvel.
All driven by a very tame comment by a lame late night talk show host that probably pulls in a hundred mil in advertising for them a year.
This is stinging them a lot.
I have to actively sign up for Disney+ again, and it's way more expensive. That's not going to happen. Disney isn't making any new shows that I can't torrent if I desperately need to see it.
i saw ads yesterday that they were offering 4 months of disney and hulu for $2.99/mo now lol
I haven't bought anything from Disney in years, fuck them.
Every time I hear "Disney" I remind everyone around me of how shit and sociopathic they've been the entire god damn time they've existed.
Nope. Disney is estimating loses over time. Fascism is going to kill Disney World Orlando and they aren't fully on board there. Push them to fight or declare bankruptcy. They own 1/3 of all media. They could be useful.
Is Mickey holding the Epstein files?
Scrooge McDuck has been sending gold statues to Maralago.
I hate how all these news reports completely misguide why Kimmel was suspended.
It wasn't "remarks about Charlie Kirk" (vague). Nor was it "contraversial comments about Charlie Kirk" (not contraversial!)
He literally just stated facts. He said Trump and the GOP were lying about the assassin being part of a far left (or left at all) political persuasion.
They fucking are lying about this. It's an objective fact. They are using the death of this man to spread hate, lies, and anger. It's a divisive tactic to turn Americans against one another.
Not only that, his joke was about how Fascist 47 had already moved on, instead of actually grieving.
Cancel, buy some rum with the money you saved, and sail the high seas.
In case the cancellation page is still crashing here is what you do.
