You don’t have a clue what is going on either. Harry’s is more woke than Gillette.

The SEC ( not the one in Birmingham) should investigate Disney leadership. They are sabotaging their own just like the Biden Cartel is sabotaging America.

got on youtube and pulled up old cartoons I loved as a kid(Garfield etc).


Be careful with YouTube, they’ll suggest crap that kids don’t need to see even though you’re watching cartoons. They are just as bad as Disney.

Choosing to not give my money to them is not quite the same as seeing the complete and utter destruction of anyone and everyone associated with Disney, which is what cancel culture is.

But, you knew that

Oh ffs.

We have a brand new guy.

I will assume you are new, because I have explained this ad nauseum:

Boycott=> I don't like it, so I won't buy, watch, listen, support

Canceling=> I don't like it, so NOBODY can buy, watch, listen, support

Did you catch the difference? I mean it is subtle.



The right boycotts, the left cancels.

There is no hypocrisy in this

Have you seen anyone attempting to use the police power of the government to put Disney out of business? Or are you seeing a personal decision not to participate?

There is a difference.

I just stopped using their shite products and grew a beard, but I think the poster's point was that Harry's doesn't spend millions on an advertising campaign on prime television espousing how terrible normal, mainstream, heterosexual white males are.

Gillette commercials just a few years back featured beautiful female models in super tight outfits at auto racing events. Remember those commercials?

Talk about the height of hypocrisy. The Gillette of the 1990's and early 2000's was absolutely worlds away from where Gillette's advertising loudly pontificates and grandstands today.

I'll never spend another dime on products from a company that "proudly" attacks the demographic I belong to. They have become racists and misandrists. frick em and anyone else who attacks white male heterosexuals.

Anyone else have the 3 year subscription and cancel early?


I just submitted my cancel request.

UPDATE:

Daughter (left leaning) was not at all happy about the cancellation. Said that Disney would never notice my missing $12/month, so why bother?

I told her she was probably right, but I wasn't going to voluntarily give my money to an organization that supported political positions anathema to my own.

I then offered to re-establish the subscription if SHE donated $12/month to the GOP. Her brother proceeded to laugh his arse off as she sat in stunned silence.

It got even better when she said she may as well just get her own subscription to Disney+, at which point she knew she had fallen into the trap.

You sir, are brilliant. I’m going to have to remember that one if I get any complaints when my kids come to my house.

We quit watching television altogether. Even Collegiate Football and sports. Which was the only reason I kept the thing turned on. Watching the slow burn decline of America is not something I relish. Although I've noticed a quickened pace under Plugs.
