Disney owns a giant share of the media ecosystem. Time to cancel some services and let them know why.
How did I miss that Disney owns the History Channel??
Because they buy up companies more often than normal people buy milk.
Do not forgive, do not forget. Purge these companies from your life forever.
Way ahead of you. Disney have been unworthy scumbags in my eyes ever since I read ‘Free Culture’ by Lawrence Lessig many years ago.
Fuck Disney
Fuck you micky mouse
Time to hoist the sails again https://tenor.com/bDMWP.gif
Didn’t this come from Sinclair media, the notoriously right wing, massive media conglomerate?
I’m not sure how it works, and not saying Disney isn’t partially to blame.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group
Sinclair is the “ABC Affiliate stations”.
From Wikipedia (Jimmy Kimmel): On September 17, 2025, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after Kimmel’s remarks regarding the MAGA movement’s reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk drew threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr and an announcement from station owner Nexstar that its ABC-affiliated stations were dropping the program “for the foreseeable future”.[5]
The Trump FCC chair started it by threatening ABC’s license as well as licenses of ABC affiliates…Nexstar/Sinclair said they wouldn’t broadcast the show, then ABC bowed to pressure and said the show was cancelled indefinitely.
Disney is worth $200+ billion, and if they fought this in court, the first amendment is clearly on their side. But like Paramount before them, they are complying in advance.
Thanks for putting that concisely, my brain isn’t working so great this morning
Disney owns Vice? That is hilariously ironic and awkward.
Finally, the left and the right find one thing they can agree upon. Columbia (the sportswear company) just sent me an ad promoting a Disney event and a Disney line of clothing and I sent a reply that probably no one will see, but I told them they can fuck off with that.
Fuck Disney in general, but what in particular happened this time?
ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for saying Kirk’s killer was right-wing and that they’re trying to use Kirk’s death for political points.
He didn’t even say that. He said Trump and friends don’t want him to be.
He didn’t even say Kirk’s killer was right wing. He said that the right was desperately trying to say it wasn’t one of them.
Surely Kimmel has the means to start his own show on the internet and say whatever the fuck he likes, just like Charlie Kirk did, right?

Oh, latecomers to the party!
Welcome aboard.
Yeah. Still using Plex since I am old head with a lifetime subscription I got for $50 on sale a decade ago. Though if not I hear jellyfin is the best now.
Use Unraid for my NAS and definitely going to upgrade to lifetime after I’ve used it for over a year now. Makes things super easy but it’s still Linux underneath so I can do whatever advanced thing I want when needed.
A nice NVMe cache drive, basic CPU, MB, some sticks of RAM, and a few multi TB HDDs and you can say goodbye to all streaming services for life.
Very well said!
And yes, haha, jellyfin is the uh, ‘new hotness’ lately =P
Yay, Disney hate is finally mainstream! I’m basically inline with popular opinion by virtue of maintaining my firmly held beliefs I developed decades ago and held even when it was inconvenient and unpopular!!! It’s my time to shine for the short period of time this transient fad plays out!
Kidding and current events aside, Disney media has given me the creeps since I was a kid. The popular cartoon movies just felt like propaganda. I’m not saying everything Disney hits that note, but so, so much of it does.
Then I started meeting Disney adults and, while I understand that Disney has no control over how these people act and choose to represent them, all I can say is OH MY GOD. Crazy cat lady, bizarre couple who live in Christmas themed home decor and wardrobe year round, homeless person who’s still got money for meth and thinks he’s Jesus vibes all wrapped up into one with sprinkles on top.
Then they took over local news stations and started presenting “Disney” as news – entire segments dedicated to Disney intellectual properties disguised as “breaking news” kind of bullshit.
And finally they wrapped their slimy tendrils around the neck of super heroes and Star Wars and squeezed until blood poured out every pore while the corpse dried out and rotted.
So, thank you, I’ve had enough, and at least now maybe a few more people will see what kind of monster they’ve been supporting all along and decide to sever the ties.
It’s a bit funny and sad that the most innovation I’ve seen from Indiana Jones and Star Wars has been from video games - a cinematic medium they contract with, but don’t have as much twisted control over.
When Cal picks up a “crossguard” in Jedi: Survivor it was at first a moment of sequel cringe, but then they had the idea of having him wield it like a two-handed bastard sword where it has more weight, and it gives it such a cool identity.
