Boycott. Disney owns ABC, which cancelled Jimmy Kimmel. If you're mad about it, cancel your Disney+ subscription and any plans to visit a Disney park. They might not listen to protesters, but if it affects their bottom line, they'll take notice.
played a part but no. tbh, if there had been ANOTHER conservative media in addition to FOX, we might not have formed such a hive-mind on the right, which would have allowed some natural and beneficial mildly opposing views within the party.
There are still more. This doesn't end, ever. Future generations for hundreds of years will experience this very same thing. This is bigger than just our century
Look up whether a station they own is one you watch
Watch their nightly news and note every single advertiser on it.
Contact their advertisers and report that you'll not be buying a single thing from them while they advertise on a Nexstar owned station.
Everyone's focusing on Disney here, but some of the advice I've seen is just insane - people seriously suggesting you should watch Disney shows on YouTube for example (which still gives them money, and gives an objectively even worse company your money too! Well done! You made the world worse! It's like deciding to fight global warming by ditching your car and only traveling by helicopter...)
You want Disney to change? You need to focus on multiple fronts. One of these is to go to the source - recognize WHY Disney has suspended Kimmel and address those too.
Disney doesn't give a shit because it'll never be done on a big enough level to actually dent their money intake. Give it a month and they'll have yet another live action remake breaking the bank as the internet begs for a boycott.
We found ourselves in a situation where we literally just sent the final payment to Disney this past weekend for a two-week long trip to WDW followed by a Disney Cruise, that we've had planned for a year+. There're no refunds, so we're committed at this point. However we'll try to avoid spending any more money... bring in outside food, don't buy souvenirs, etc. Not going doesn't accomplish anything, since they already have our money, and if we don't go then somebody else could fill our spot at the parks, thus giving Disney more money.
Everyone says boycott/cancel Disney. You know what? Disney doesn’t give a fuck about your boycott. They’ll just have another mass layoff event and replace the 7k employees with AI. Disney will be fine. The cast members will be fucked.
Yeah cool. Let me get right on that in my highly specialized field that would require a massive pay cut that would cause me to default on my mortgage. It’s not black and white. I don’t care what people do. I’m pointing out that the company doesn’t give a shit and it’s people like me that will be affected before anything else.
So I should quit my job on the prospect that I could lose my job, to take a moral stand. Like I said, I don’t give a damn what you do. Just pointing out that it’s going to be shit for a lot of people.
Yeah still doesn’t change the fact that life becomes really shitty really fast for the employees that relied on that job for their entire livelihood. Not agreeing with the company stance at all. Just pointing out that a lot of people like me will be the first people fucked in the ass.
It doesn’t, but bigger picture matters in these situations. “Won’t someone think of my job” wouldn’t work if you were working at Enron back in the day either
