My side? I think the left and right wing radicals are equally trash and I wish both factions could be permanently removed from society.

I have Disney+ prepaid til next August. Likely will not renew it. We get it every year for my daughter on her birthday.

ESPN+ is prepaid til December for Rugby. I am looking for alternatives to watch it now.

Oh, look...

A fart-sniffing "moderate" who is so erudite that he cannot be bothered with actually taking a side.

D+ was easy as I own a lot of pre-woke physical media.


Yup, plus my sons are now almost 15 and older, so I'm kind of past all that. But for years I bought physical media...being the good little GenXer I am, so I have that from now on. That said, I dropped Disney+ when they fired Gina Carano while retaining Pedro Pascal despite them both having made tweets referencing the Holocaust. I'll allow you to decide why one got fired and the other not.





I never had ESPN+ and dropped cable entirely in the Summer of 2020 when I gave up all sports and my LSU season tickets.

FWIW, at first there is a small sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) but that passes as soon as you fill that time with other things. soon after, you don't miss it at all and you suddenly feel better about the time you are spending doing things and the money you're spending elsewhere.

I wonder how many people have canceled (especially D+)?


Less than we'd hope, because most people are weak and simply refuse to acknowledge the differences between wants and needs. No one NEEDS Disney...ever. It's entertainment and the easiest thing in the world to give up.

Nah, who would want to choose sides when both options are made up of mentally ill nutjobs who do nothing but tear the country apart.

As for ESPN, I was able to watch every Dawg game last year and never paid for any service that would pay those asshats at Disney. Now that the dawgs broke the curse, I am not even sure I am going to bother watching this coming year. The whole NIL thing and wokeness is killing my love for college football. It is now too much like the pro-leagues.

From one old dawg who remembers Jake Scott to probably another: I'm right there with you. I used to go to a friend's place to watch the Dawgs here in Costa Rica, but last year I just listened on the radio online and I was fine with it. Would have been better with Munson, but all good things must come to an end.

You clowns are pussy arse snowflakes just like liberals. Boycotting and canceling.


You just describing deciding to not give people who hate you money as being a sensitive hoe.

You sound stupid. Or weak. Both?

If you are no longer interested in their product, and you know they are taking your money and using it to fund things you disagree with...why is it you think you are still beholden to give them your money? Do you make it routine to walk around and hand people money that openly hate you?

As for me, I decided a while ago that I was no longer interested in their product and that I did not want to give them my money. So I stopped. The end.

That's not the point - I dgaf what any consenting adults do - but Disney is an advocate for kindergarten through 3rd grade kids being instructed and in many cases encouraged to support and consider being transsexuals. And they have a corporate commitment to ensure ~50% of their future content will be geared to and feature LGBTQs.

Having read a few of your posts I can tell you're not very bright so I still doubt you get the point - or you do get it and support kids from 3 - 8 years old being subjected to leftist filth everyday in school.

the almighty moderate has arrived. imagine thinking its radical to not want kids exposed to sex. the radicals on the left are pushing for kids to be more queer and you think that is something to just brush off.

you're the typical consooomer. don't ask questions just consooom product and wait for next product.

There's a rumor of 350k cancelations, but there's no real way to know.

Disney's 2022 2nd Quarter numbers will be interesting.




disney+ and espn+ are $8 and $7 monthly. even if the 350k "rumor" is true, that 5 and a quarter million bucks. disney won't even notice

If you think someone is radical because we don’t want children to be sexually groomed then you are mentally deranged.

If that makes someone right wing radical then sign me up.

Nor do I.

I care about kids being taught about blowing each other and eating pussy, in the 2nd grade. . .with the kids being instructed to not tell their parents.

I mean. . .it FEELS like a pretty basic line in the sand.

Has morality shifted so much that this is a controversial stance?

We’ll, I don’t know where y’all’s kids are going to school but they don’t teach that where my kids go.
I teach my kids boys like girls and girls like boys. So far so good in my household. This isn’t really that difficult.

So if they made it a law, that teachers CAN'T teach that, without parental notification. . .would you be ok with it?

Seems an anodyne position.

Opposing such a law seems absolutely evil, no?

The FL law just says they can't talk about sexuality, and gender abnormalities in K-3, without notifying parents.

It is the notifying parents part that Disney opposes

I was able to select "other" but not able to add comment when cancelling Disney+/hulu/espn+ bundle.
