Facing pressure from the Trump administration on Monday, ABC—owned by Disney—announced it would be suspending the late-night television show Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely,” after the host came under attack from fascists and Trump administration officials over his commentary on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Yo ho hardy harr! What's this I found sailing the sea? A Star Wars show/movie for me! And your telling me it's available for free? I'll cancel my Disney Plus with glee!
Seriously though, Disney is no artist but we can separate the artist from the art. You're welcome to enjoy Star Wars, just don't pay Disney for it. Fuck Disney.

I’ve been anti Disney since they bought Star Wars. Always have seen them as an evil copyright abusing empire.

From what I've seen, most already embrace this.

There was great success back in the day when they kidnapped or killed the CEOs.

Wow. He didn't even smacktalk Kirk himself. he just said that the shooter was a MAGA-head and that Trump didn't seem to bother that much.

Have to make an example to keep the npcs in line.
The entire point of this is promoting self censorship in us, the ordinary people. We should be afraid to say what we think if its not politically correct.
It works too. Even Lemmy has plenty of people supporting censorship of opinions.

Especially, if ygu have the "wrong" opinion on a major conflict or what does and does not count as genocide.
MBech@feddit.dk · 1 pts · 342d
That's not censorship, that's just being called out for having a, to the other user, bad opinion.
1984@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 342d
Its censorship if its being moderated away or threads are being locked, or if people are being banned for being "trolls". There are many forms of censorship.

Yeah, that's, like, every single cell phone service provider and a ton of medically necessary, life-medications. You can't just boycott this shit. That's to say nothing about the insurance companies, which are sometimes not even a choice for a lot of people.
nymnympseudonym@piefed.social · 13 pts · 342d
You individually don't have to do everything. Drop the one least important holding from your life, and let the company know why you did it
Nobody has to die. A fuckton of us just have to do without Disney+ for a bit.
MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 342d
It's honestly shocking to me that anybody is still subscribed to Disney+ at all. This is far from the only reason to not support Disney, and it right now is when you're deciding to boycott Disney, you're just doing it performatively or you've been burying your head in the sand for way too long.
nymnympseudonym@piefed.social · 2 pts · 342d
I'm not going to berate anyone for doing the right thing a little after I personally did
MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 342d
That's not what it's really about. I'm saying that people doing it now only care because of this one thing that they are being outrage-baited into caring about temporarily. It's performative.
verdantbanana@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 342d
unfortunately this is not going to work as a protest just cancelling shit
look up all the companies and see who controls it then look up to see who controls them
all operated by the same megacorps such as the news and other media
all United States companies are tied in with everyday life just one example on your list is insurance and imagine trying to take care of our elders with the small number of resources available on top of them not having a way to ring out
and there is no other company to go to because just like unilever everything is controlled by the same groups
fixing this willing require trashing the whole goddamn thing and starting over which is maybe the only solution left

Odds on how long until they take down Daily Show, John Oliver, South Park and SNL?
I give it less than a month, gotta keep distracting from the Epstein files.
MBech@feddit.dk · 1 pts · 342d
South park apparently has a super expensive contract for 5 seasons, so cancelling then before that may not be feasible for them. Depending ofcourse on how much they cross the lines.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 342d
FCC can just make them pay if they don't by stopping or not approving something they want done now. That may cost them more, which would make the decision easier. It's really strange seeing every single step taken this year, and yet we still haven't done a single thing about it.
