Did Disney do something recently?
They tried the exact same thing not too long ago.
Oh yeah, I forgot about injustice in the sea of injustice that has been the last few years.
Well. what are supposed to do?
Stop voting for a$$holes? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Boycott Disney. Pretty easy to do.
FYI, the disney situation that people are referring to here is a very complicated legal situation rife with bad actors. The reporting on it was broadly mishandled by the media, so legal professionals have broken it down. It is far more nuanced than people here are making it out to be and the simple narrative that you will see getting upvoted entirely mischaracterizes what actually happened (ie happened according to both disney and the plaintiff, yes they both agree). But due to the fact that disney kind of comes out of the situation looking like - dare I say - the good guy (or at least the gooder one), people have latched onto the misinformed simplistic narrative because it requires less effort and falls into the evil corporation trope. So instead of making any claims here, because I'm exhausted from arguing with Internet babies and I have a ketamine therapy today, I encourage you to watch Legal Eagle's breakdown of the case.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything other than the fact that this is a complex topic that has been mishandled by the media. I work in an extremely remote location with thousands of people that might as well be flat-earthers, so being truthful is extremely important to me. And we will need honest discourse if we as a society are ever going to overcome the misinformation brainworm that US politics has put on steroids. Good luck.
