“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.
He didnt even openly celebrate his death. What the fuck? This is enough to unair him?
Put them out of business. We are the majority not the minority like MAGAts are.
Years of supporting genocide and you guys didn’t mind, but now you’ll boycott.
ABC/Disney bent the knee to an illegitimate regime.
That’s why I cancelled it.
Every corporation would kill any one of us if it made them a dollar. Constitutional rights mean nothing to them.
Surveys done in 2018 revealed that 75% of workers at Disneyland do not make a living wage.
Workers finally won their class action lawsuit against Disney earlier this week.

Judge signs off on Disney’s $233 million wage theft settlement for theme park employees
Some 51,000 current or former workers in the class action lawsuit will get an average $3,000 each by next summer.
Don’t be ridiculous, 1 USD is far too low ROI to bother with planning and executing a plan like that.
They would probably need a guaranteed 10000 USD to start looking into it, shareholders would never allow it for just a single USD. Gotta think about the returns.
Well see, it’s only inefficient if you’re trying to kill people one at a time. Put ‘em all in a camp and we can get those murdering costs down pronto. Your portfolio will never look better!
I’m boycotting/canceling anything to do with this administration. Period. I’ve already banned numerous products from my house, having to purchase products from more independent suppliers who don’t buy into Trump’s bullshit. Canceling a streaming service is no different.
Do you have a list of items you’d be willing to share?
I had one at one point, but I’m sure someone’s got a better list that’s more current. It’s also important to do your own research so you’re better informed and not just sheeping. My personal reasons for putting a company on a shit list…
- rolled back DEI (diversity, equality, inclusion)
- against any form of LGBTQIA+
- support the Ukrainian war (thus supporting Ruzzia)
- support the Gaza conflict (thus supporting Israel)
- have any ties to Trump or related GOP/MAGA noobs
- are against human compassion and decency
- are immoral and/or unethical
Other personal values you hold dear also apply, as long as you yourself aren’t checking boxes. If that’s the case, fuck you too!
Probably easier to list things not bowing to Trump.
I was already planning on pirating Zootopia 2. Now I guess I can go steal some Nick Wilde plushes from a Disney store, too.
So what do I tell my non-techie friends to do? Hard to teach them how to sail the high seas easily. Especially those that live elsewhere.
I don’t know why the concept of a boycott is hard for some people. Boycotting a product or company does not entitle you to still have access to the product. If you can still get it without supporting them, fine, but the premise of a boycott is generally saying that you would rather go without than support the company. They can just, not watch zootopia. If that is not an option for them then they are not actually interested in boycotting. If anything, it’s more effective if people don’t pirate. That way there’s less people talking about the thing and less general interest. People who still watched it are the outliers and when they ask why no one has seen it you can explain why. I get that they are a huge company, but this is how boycotts actually work.
Well, depending on how good your media library is you could give them access to your contents.
Just pirate it for them. 🤷♂️
It’s a delivery issue. I’d be sending a drive or something. My internet sucks so setting up Plex for them isn’t easy.
Seedboxes are cheap, you can rent one with Plex or Jellyfin and 1TB of storage space for like $7/mo.
Carrier pigeon is technically faster than broadband.

The crows keep causing packet loss!
Have them check out their local library for blurays. Yeah it’s less convenient than just downloading it but if they have kids they’re likely visiting the library regularly anyway.
Pirate streaming sites would be the best choice for them. Help them put a VPN on their device, bookmark the megathread, and explain how important activating their VPN before streaming is. That’s probably the easiest route for the non-tech crowd
Sell any stocks you may have too if any
I don’t think it will happen, but I feel a strike may be more effective. I also would think it would be for the best of the people who work there too. Any of them could be on the line in a second for a minor turn of phrase.
Not a big sacrifice, honestly.
No one is
Nope, cancelled my Hulu/Disney the other day.
Technically it runs the rest of the month, but a shit ton of people are all doing it.
Fuck the mouse.
And since the right gave up on them like a decade ago, the left cancelling is really going to fucking hurt.
It’s not just about getting Disney to back down, it’s to set an example so the next corp re-evaulates if bowing to trump is worth it.
Spoiler: It’s always worth it. average Americans, like the President, always blink first.
So which streaming services do you have?
My FB feed (I know) had at least 4 of my friends posting their cancellation. I’m doing my tomorrow only because I was one espisode away from finishing a series.
So what you’re saying is you aren’t currently watching a show and so you feel this is a good time to stop that service and get another service which is probably what you’re usually doing anyway. Tell me the other streaming services you have and I will judge you based on what those streaming services have done in the past, and question why you still have them.
See, there’s a large flaw in your assumption there: That I care who you are to even be judged by you. You couldn’t be more wrong.
Don’t worry, a non answer just shows the world who you are. Not that either of us care.
That’s half the joke. Disney has the market cornered and fully saturated. What we’re seeing is a slowdown in the consumer economy, not a boycott.
But pretending a recessionary wave is some kind of political movement makes the austerity feel righteous.
Right, no one is canceling Disney for political reasons, they’re canceling it because they need to eat.
I just canceled last night because of this. I’ll just have to find the time to finish Andor S2 in the next couple of weeks.
