I'm sure she had a lot of say in the Gina C. deal. They should just have a recording hotline for people to vent. No need to tie up someone who has no control over what happened.

No I told her I don't really envy her position today. I told the person on the phone that I know it isn't her decision but unfortunately I can't really call Bob Iger or whoever is in charge and cancel my subscription.

Back off on firing Gina? Seems highly unlikely.

Back off on SJW / PC push? No chance in hell, they sold their soul to progressive propaganda a long time ago

You could have just canceled.

But no, you had to go peak virtue signaling and read the riot act to some poor lady at customer service and then come here to brag about it.

and some posters argue that TD isn't just another form of FB for people

I don't agree with her firing, but let's put a finer point on one of her social media posts. She equivocated the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany to how conservatives in the US are being treated today.

Disney has never really given a frick about their customers anyway. If you have kids they're going to get your money.

That's what I did. Maybe that wasn't clear in my OP but I did call to cancel and made sure they knew why.

Because they’re weak. Plenty people talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.

Pretty good melt.

This is why you should pirate media. I promise you every single show, movie or album is produced, written or directed by someone who has completely different political leanings than 99% of this board. A slight exaggeration, but only slight.

Which her coworker on the same show did. He did exactly the same thing and faced no reprecussions.

Yes I realize this is virtue signaling but I'm only posting this because the lady on the phone said she'd already been getting a bunch of calls today.


She said their team was getting ready for a meeting to discuss the situation and prepare what to tell the customers.

In reality this is one small piece that may not seem like a huge deal but if enough people call and threaten to cancel they might back off. I doubt it but at least my conscience is a little clearer.

I share my disney+ subscription with my brother so I'm planning to talk to him about it and tell him basically he's gonna have to go in on it alone because I can't support the blatant hypocrisy and silencing of an actually strong female lead who unsurprisingly is a strong independent female in real life.

you probably confused the shite out of that poor customer service call center worker.

You also sound like an insane person, just fricking cancel the service instead of harassing employees that have zero to do with these decision

Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neghbors…even by children,” Carano wrote on her IG story, accompanied by a sad face emoji.

Carano also offered up the following words in quotation marks:

Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”






I could see why Disney would want to distance themselves. Black face, defending Hitler, and minimizing the Nazi's role is AUTOMATIC and has been for many years.

This ain't cancel culture.
