I feel like these corps did a calculation and figured out everyone has an excuse to not boycott companies like Disney except right wingers who have become exceptionally good at the boycott.

In my experience those people will typically boycott brands as a group meanwhile my friends find every excuse in the book to support the major corps hurting them. Even aoc went to Florida during covid. And people wonder why they win.

Yup. Leftists Don't have that insane person conviction. Dip shits need to learn to boycott

This leftist has boycotted everything Sony since they bricked my PC with their rootkit in the early 2000s (and I really go out of my way to make sure nothing Sony related comes in my house, not their music, movies, games, electronics, nor their camera lenses) I only slipped up once in the past 20 or so years, when I purchased a second hand Sony Walkman mp3 player. Thing broke within 3 months of use, it's now a constant reminder that I really need to keep boycotting Sony.

I've started boycotting Amazon (including but not limited to Kindle, Audible, Prime and Twitch) and Disney since this year.

But I'm only one person.

I have shown myself to be capable of long term boycotts and I don't intend to let up. I've added Amazon's websites to my Pihole's blacklist.

But I also don't pirate their stuff. As far as I'm concerned their TV shows and movies and such don't exist on this planet.

Leftists are already trying to fuck megacorps over, why would they try and placate them?

Leftists are already trying to fuck megacorps over

Where?

[-] cybersin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

What do you mean where? It's literally in the name.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Gestures broadly at Lemmy.

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Lemmy is a niche of a niche and there are more centrists (liberals) here than leftists

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

What niche of a niche? Reddit is pretty mainstream now.

[-] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Everywhere?

The whole idea of leftism is to deconstruct hierarchical power structures.

mega corps are the current incarnation of exactly that.

[-] iusearchbtw@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

Ideals aren't the same as action

[-] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Fair, fully agree there.

Does this Christian character get made fun of all the time for being out of touch with reality? Is this why Kathleen is out, too much jesus? lol, probably not.

Well I did feel bad about pirating Agatha All Along but not anymore.

[-] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Never feel bad about pirating, son!

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

son

Come on 😮‍💨

She's very obviously a woman, don't call her "son."

Why tf am I getting downvoted? What's wrong with people?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I mean I know a dude whose initials are KD[last initial]. He doesn't like his feminine first name, so he started going by Katie. KD. He just can't win.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, but you can clearly see a woman in her profile pic, combined with a girl's name, on a trans instance, and if any of that gives you pause enough to check her profile, you'll find it says, "sapphic. hater of capital letters. bunny and cat mum." Just because some random guy somewhere goes by KD does not make it ok to misgender someone who is very obviously a woman.

Whoever downvoted this, come out and say it my face, coward. Fuck transphobes.

[-] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

I can't recall ever seeing a single profile pic on Lemmy. Even when clicking on a username, all I see are posts, no profile. I honestly didn't even know there was a profile to edit. I'm primarily on Voyager.

No downvotes from me; just adding my experience to the conversation.

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Anyone browsing on most mobile Lemmy apps does not see profile pics btw, so people might be downvoting because "she's very obviously a woman" is in fact not at all obvious to mobile users.

I did not downvote btw. Am using Eternity Lemmy client.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

There's still the username. And the proper response to that situation is, "Oh, oops, I didn't realize, let me edit my comment, thanks for bringing it to my attention."

If I can figure out a way to view who downvoted, I will be tagging them to call them out and name and shame. I find it completely inexcusable. If they didn't know they were in the wrong, they wouldn't be afraid to show their faces and explain themselves.

💖💖🥺

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Now I feel even less guilty about stealing Star Wars content.

[-] TK420@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

You should never feel guilty about pirating anything.

[-] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Well now I can say Disney is woke. They woke up to kiss the ring and bow down to a fucking shit lip.

[-] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

Is being inclusive of people with cognitive reasoning disabilities a bad thing?

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 22 points 2 days ago

Given the nature of the show, and the fact it is set in modern day America, it would be stranger if it didn't have a Christian kid in it.

Removing any references to being transgender is pretty shitty though.

[-] sem 12 points 1 day ago

Depends where in American, where I'm at it's more unusual to be publicly Christian than publicly non-religious

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago

I don't trust any business that advertises itself as run by Christians.

Jesus had a big rant about hypocrites making a public show of their religion, and told them to go pray in their closets instead.

[-] CompleteUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I always avoid the fish symbol.

I wonder how China will react. Plus for them: no trans character. Minus for them: replaced with Christian insurgent.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Shit, I hadn't even considered that US/Russia/China censorship goals align so well.

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

This headline might as well be from The Babylon Bee.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago

Any word on whether they're going to start telling good stories?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago

The Trump administration probably threatened to break up Disney.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 20 points 2 days ago

Let’s hope so, it’d be a shame if they did this on their own initiative.
