Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Idk, it's not just the wallets but their employees as well. Disney has for many years now, in typical neoliberal fashion, been supportive of their employees' individual struggles in leu(sp?) of financial support. I could see it going both ways, but they've long put up with boycotts and things from the religious right knowing that their employees would work themselves to death for the limited "freedom and support" to live authentically.
Maybe, but cheap labour is cheap labour, doesn't really matter whether they are a devoted diehard Disney fanatic or an immigrant labourer, either way they're being paid $6 an hour to get heatstroke in the hot California sun. Though I guess if the Parks employees are too "ethnic" the right will just boycott them anyway, so it certainly is playing with fire, they probably don't have any good options anymore. (Well, apart from actually putting effort into their movies again, but they're never going to do that).
