I canceled my Hulu/Disney+ subscription two days ago. A long time ago, I had an absolute boycott on Disney because I hated their hypocrisy when it came to copyright law. They tried to extend their copyrights indefinitely, even though the majority of their IPs came from the public domain. They were like a dog who only knows how to fetch the ball, but won't ever release it.

When Disney acquired Pixar and was the American distributor for Studio Ghibli, and bought Star Wars, and distributes Marvel, at some point I eventually relented and stopped my boycott. I stopped caring as much about hypocrisy, in general. But never again. It was obviously a mistake to ever give them money. They will never get anything from me again.

The classic card payment and subscription model is actually insane. You literally have to beg companies to stop taking money from you. Good thing it is changing with more modern payment systems - you literally just stop paying for services you don't need and it's on them to stop providing them to you. Nothing is ever charged off my account without an explicit action from me.

I cancelled my Disney sub when the Gaza genocide first started. Glad its catching on. Disney is run by assholes.

Walt Disney used to attend meetings of the German American Bund. They have a long and deep relationship with fascists.

Like many are saying, don't give them your money back if they bring Jimmy back. Hopefully, Jimmy knows how well he could do away from the influences of such people, and he'll say "nah thanks"

I never subscribed as they literally filmed Mulan outside a concentration camp in certain bits and thanked the CCP in the credits

Good. Finally some people are taking action, even if it might be a whee bit uncomfortable.

Time for some real cancel culture.
