Disney owns a giant share of the media ecosystem. Time to cancel some services and let them know why.

Fuck Disney in general, but what in particular happened this time?

Damn! If only I had one of those services than I could boycott Disney too.

Surely Kimmel has the means to start his own show on the internet and say whatever the fuck he likes, just like Charlie Kirk did, right?

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 7 points 6 days ago

Finally, the left and the right find one thing they can agree upon. Columbia (the sportswear company) just sent me an ad promoting a Disney event and a Disney line of clothing and I sent a reply that probably no one will see, but I told them they can fuck off with that.

Fuck Disney

To those of you that are canceling Disney+ and looking for animation alternatives, might I suggest anime, (Japanese animation, some based on comics.) Give crunchyroll a try.

might want to check out these alternatives also

Reaching a real person at any of these companies' call centers will cost the company real money.

(It can also hurt the statistics of the call center employee, so it's morally wishy-washy)

Sorry I don't know what have Disney done in particular. I've already seen something on it but *I can't understand what happened. * I'm sorry for my ignorance. Hoping someone will answer,

Bonne soirée.. Autumn V.

Didn't this come from Sinclair media, the notoriously right wing, massive media conglomerate?

I'm not sure how it works, and not saying Disney isn't partially to blame.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group

Sinclair is the "ABC Affiliate stations".

From Wikipedia (Jimmy Kimmel): On September 17, 2025, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after Kimmel's remarks regarding the MAGA movement's reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk drew threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr and an announcement from station owner Nexstar that its ABC-affiliated stations were dropping the program "for the foreseeable future".[5]

Boycotts on their own are not effective. They are more of a sprinkling addition to a full fledged program that includes more heavy duty tactics.

[–] Lastangel@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Boycotts aren't effective alone. Neither is one person deciding to vote for the other party. Telling your boss 'Uh, no, I'm not going to do that, that's illegal and immoral and probably a war crime or something' is not actually effective. Sure, I could switch providers or go sailing the high seas but that won't eradicate fascism, so why bother?

So I guess the only solutions are 1, carry right on supporting, validating, and participating in any bad practice or evil that comes your way, 2, some hitherto undiscovered way to Stop Evil in one fell stroke, or 3, engage in change as a process, on the understanding that the bad guys are hopefully not the only type of people who can work together to get shit done over a longer timeframe than 'now or never'.

I'm going for 3, because frankly if there aren't enough decent people in my community to put in a fraction of the effort the dangerous idiots are putting in, it's not worth saving. And I can't be bothered to do the whole 'judging myself, my family and friends and neighbours and country and society and finding it wanting' at the moment, so it's easier to just do what little good I can, wherever I see the chance

Sell any shares if you have them as well.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Xactly. Tis a scam. His grandpa was a pimp & grifter. So was his dad. Matter o' fact, his g'pops certainly made his fortune next to Ruzzia. Odd. Something something, rhymes with Krasnov.

Hold up... Disney owns Vice?

No wonder they are so shit now.

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Oh no, now I can't see go see quatumania 2 on cinemas...
