Because despite popular belief, the left has never been good at cancel culture. That's always been a right-wing thing. And they are aware of that. So I'm sure they were shocked that the left could boycott in an effective way like the right has in the past.
Just look at the Charlie Kirk aftermath. How many people lost their jobs because they showed the wrong emotion and posted about it? I haven't heard of a single person on the right fired for threatening retaliatory violence.
How many jokes did I hear about Nancy Pelosi's husband?
That's the thing that actively pisses me off the most. The right has been fucking monsters when it comes to their reactions to violence like that. Absolute, psychopathic, proudly hypocritical monsters, willing to joke about an elderly man being assaulted in his home because he happened to be the husband of a Democrat. And silence when asked about whether urging their sick followers to commit violence might be leading their sick followers to commit violence.
And the murders that took place in Minnesota a few months ago? Jokes and silence there, too.
But a late-night comedian says something that isn't even disrespectful or in any way condones violence, just acknowledges the kind of person Kirk was... and they lose their fucking minds.
Always remember this, folks: It's all performative. They don't actually care. They know Kimmel didn't say a goddamn thing that could be interpreted as support for violence. They know.
Time to tap the "Wilhoit's Law" sign again:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
And it came from the highest level - Orange Jesus cracked some "jokes" about it. So did his son.
I would so love to see some of them actually lose their fucking jobs for the death threats they made right after Kirk getting popped.
I live in a red state. I'm constantly surrounded by pro-slavery confederate flags, open threats of violence in the form of punisher and 2A bumper stickers, and then direct calls for violence against all of "the left".
I've never considered calling their employers just to see which ones are okay with terroristic threats.
Just look at the Charlie Kirk aftermath. How many people lost their jobs because they showed the wrong emotion and posted about it? I haven’t heard of a single person on the right fired for threatening retaliatory violence.
Though only tangentially related, the fact that this man still has a job tells you everything you need to know about these alleged "conservative values". (like so many countless examples before)

Gone nowhere have they? I can't imagine why.
These are the times that try men's souls. They are also the times that put the "Fuck You" in "Fuck You Money".
Hey, Disney shareholders! Wanna know what'll get us to start watching Marvel movies or Star Wars or Pixar again? I'll bet you do! And it'll be easy.
Just demand the resignations of any person who decided to bow to fascism. Give them all the boot. Show them the door. Then bring in folks who actually give a shit about whether or not this country remains viable as a place to do business beyond this fucking quarter. Oh, and while you're at it, get some diversity, equity, and inclusion going on.
Who are you worried about losing by doing that? Right-wing conservatives? They already hate you, and watch Veggie Tales instead! Stop trying to cater to people who think your whole business model - depicting strong princesses for kids - is evil incarnate because they're not barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
Ball's in your court, Disney!
I guess everybody knows this anyhow, but please make sure to remember:
If you just watched the above, however, and are now wondering why, as Kimmel's jabs weren't aimed at Kirk, but Trump, then you've hit on precisely why the backlash against Disney's Jimmy Kimmel decision is growing – and why it's not likely to stop any time soon.
Further:
Reportedly, Disney wants Kimmel to tone down his rhetoric, as well as provide an apology to Charlie Kirk's family and donate to his right-wing organization, Turning Point USA, suggestions that have only served to increase the backlash.
(...)
The feeling is that CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden caved too easily to MAGA pressure and manufactured outrage once again.

How about no.
Pretty much everyone I know in Switzerland and Germany has cancelled their Disney+ subscription yesterday.
Also many German speaking comedians are urging everyone who hasn’t cancelled yet to do so immediately.
lol fuck you, Disney. You had a good thing going. I love Star Wars, and I would have given you a subscription indefinitely for that. But no - you had to prostrate yourself to the fascists, and in doing so you bit the hand that feeds. I’m going to pirate every single bit of your content I can point my torrent box at from now on, and I’m going to seed and share it as much as I can. Fuck you, genuinely.
Oh, in that case we'll just keep paying the evil bastards!
Yeah, too late. They let the mask slip. We've seen their real face.
Wow, if they really didn't anticipate a backlash, they are even more clueless than I thought.
I cancelled my sub like 6 months ago because their programming has been like 90% terrible for a couple of years now. Combine that with tacit approval of fascism, and they don’t seem to have a lot of selling points left.
But Iger is a business genius, so I’m sure he’ll have this sorted in no time. ~/s~
I cancelled mine and was actually in the middle of watching the new King of the Hill and Alien Earth.
Matey, maybe you've got to sail the high seas for a life of plunder.
