It has nothing to do with "virtue signaling." It has to do with Disney's internal metrics concerning what people are watching. I forgot that I had to be specifically clear so people who don't think before responding could not possibly misconstrue my statement.

right

once you feel as though no one cares about your "boycott", whether it be Disney or random people on the internet, you will then consume the product

Your reply was so baseless in reality that I knew there was no sense in replying to someone with that view.

Again, it has nothing to do with this. And you're ignoring a key word in my statement: "Maybe." At the moment, I'm definitely not watching it. I might change my mind some point down the line, but it will definitely not be anytime soon. That was the point of my very simple statement that you are showing an inability to understand.

I mean, you even ignored the word "Maybe" in the statement (which you had to do for your point to make sense). I'm not sure you could have done a worse job misconstruing what I said if you tried.

And yours lacked any rebuttal, just an attempted smear. Almost as if you had no retort.
Which you did again in this post.

Don’t forget he’ll be paying for Disney+ the whole time. No principles.

At no point have I stated I would be boycotting Disney. You guys can't refute anything I'm saying, so you're trying to change what I've said to be something I never said. It's a pathetic tactic.

So his rebuttal was that everyone is straight unless they choose to be gay. So in his theory, every single person could choose to be gay. Does that sound like a fundamentally sound rebuttal?

There is no evidence, of any sort, that supports the idea that people are "born that way," so yes that is a sound rebuttal. People choose this behavior.

Going by your belief. You could wake up tomorrow and choose to be gay and be physically attracted to men.

Because you have no principles. You just like to hear yourself complain.

You obviously don't have any gay friends (that you know of).

I'm not sure what to tell you man. Scientists have been looking for a "gay gene" since the 1980s. At this point they've all but confirmed that it simply doesn't exist. People choose to be that way.

Here's an article from someone who clearly hates people who think like me, but she goes through a quick history of the search for the "gay gene."

Here's the TLDR:

quote:

Most recently in 2019, the largest ever study of its kind examined data and DNA information of 500,000 people and found there were thousands of genetic variants linked to same-sex sexual behaviour, most of the them having a minor impact. There is no “gay gene” as such, but many different mutations might play a small role — yet the researchers said that non-genetic factors, including upbringing, personality and nurture, had far more influence on a person’s choice of sexual partner.

I believe the only way they're going to change things like this is for people who do consume their products not to consume the specific products they disagree with. If only people who want to view vile things are consuming Disney products, then Disney will continue to put out products with vile things in them.

You are free to hold a more simplistic view of the world if you wish.

So you agree that you yourself could choose to wake up tomorrow to be gay and be sexually attracted to men. Is that correct?

Well, he'd have to have great tits. And a vagina would certainly help.

I would never make such a decision, but yes anyone could make the same choices any other person who chose that path made.

ETA: Anyone can choose to make bad decisions at any time. The fact that most people wouldn't make those decisions doesn't make them less of a choice.

You and your Disney+ subscription support those “vile” things, whether you watch it or not.

This is true, but if they want to stay in business they won't keep putting out products that people don't watch. If it gets to the point that this sort of material is all they're putting out, I'll cancel the subscription. At this point, that is not the situation we're in.
