I never cared that much about Kimmel, but I deeply cared about the government silencing him through company coercion.

I guess the C suite folks miscalculated people giving a shit about the First Amendment.

Disney wants Kimmel to tone down his rhetoric, as well as provide an apology to Charlie Kirk's family and donate to his right-wing organization, Turning Point USA

Ahahaha, fuck Disney!

Oh, I'm sure they expected backlash, but they had a choice between the public's wrath and trump's wrath, and like good little cowardly capitulators, they chose pleasing trump over standing up for their (and all of our) first amendment rights.

• Epstein Files Still Not Released

They can't bring him back because they don't want to piss of Tump.

They can't keep him off air and not lose paying customers.

There is no fixing this. They made their choice, now suffer the consequences.

Gone nowhere have they? I can't imagine why.

These are the times that try men's souls. They are also the times that put the "Fuck You" in "Fuck You Money".

don't believe a word of this

What's this, the predictable consequences of my actions? Well I never.

The fash who've been trying to cancel Disney for being woke are probably envious of this energy.

I will lose all respect for Kimmel and refuse to watch him if he accepts their proposal to make an apology and donation. Nothing he said warrants that. Plus unless he switches to constantly kissing Trump & MEGA asses, they will be trying to shut him down again in the near future. Unless Trump is gone, all US media will soon be propaganda only. Maybe he can get picked up in the UK or EU or Canada instead.

Hey, Disney shareholders! Wanna know what'll get us to start watching Marvel movies or Star Wars or Pixar again? I'll bet you do! And it'll be easy.

Just demand the resignations of any person who decided to bow to fascism. Give them all the boot. Show them the door. Then bring in folks who actually give a shit about whether or not this country remains viable as a place to do business beyond this fucking quarter. Oh, and while you're at it, get some diversity, equity, and inclusion going on.

Who are you worried about losing by doing that? Right-wing conservatives? They already hate you, and watch Veggie Tales instead! Stop trying to cater to people who think your whole business model - depicting strong princesses for kids - is evil incarnate because they're not barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

Ball's in your court, Disney!

Too late bitches.

I'll never pay to watch anything Disney ever again.

I'll watch it.

But I'm not paying for it.

All impacts were discussed. Disney did expect this.

Too late, Disney. We fucking saw what you did.

Kudos to Jimmy for not caving into the shitstains running Disney.

Remember the end of the lion king when scar gets eaten by his army of hyenas?

The only way to fix this is through Trump. Enjoy your match against Trump, Disney. We will be entertained.

I want the executives to come out now and say "look this was an honest mistake, we're terribly sorry we let it appear that we continue to support and bend the knee to a dictator."

Then watch as all the people who cancelled Disney+ and Hulu not give a flying fuck.

The freedom of speech, is arguably the most important right we have. Without it? We have no rights. The second amendment becomes useless. The third becomes useless. There becomes no point in having the fourth. The fifth becomes unusable. The sixth becomes needless effort. The seventh is pointless, as then double jeopardy can just be said it ISNT double jeopardy because the government says so and your arguments against it are illegal speech. 8 and 9 pretty much mean you can't voice opinions that would affect those two. And 10 can no longer be argued against the executive.

Trump and ABC, in my mind, crossed a line that they were foolish to cross before they had concrete power. They have too much power now, but they do not have nearly enough to squash the entire country in opposition.

I guess everybody knows this anyhow, but please make sure to remember:

If you just watched the above, however, and are now wondering why, as Kimmel's jabs weren't aimed at Kirk, but Trump, then you've hit on precisely why the backlash against Disney's Jimmy Kimmel decision is growing – and why it's not likely to stop any time soon.

Further:

Reportedly, Disney wants Kimmel to tone down his rhetoric, as well as provide an apology to Charlie Kirk's family and donate to his right-wing organization, Turning Point USA, suggestions that have only served to increase the backlash.

The feeling is that CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden caved too easily to MAGA pressure and manufactured outrage once again.

Seriously? Fucking how did they not expect this? These companies were already facing a festering hatred for the past several years, how on earth could they claim to be surprised? Come on, these executives are idiots, but they aren't stupid.

I do not know a lot about Germany and the Nazi’s but I do know some companies were in on it. Who was the Paramount and Disney of that era in Germany? Who were the first to support the party in a significant way like this?

Just a reminder: Freedom of speech is more important than a TV show.

Pretty much everyone I know in Switzerland and Germany has cancelled their Disney+ subscription yesterday.

Also many German speaking comedians are urging everyone who hasn’t cancelled yet to do so immediately.

They didn't expect people cancelling? Oh boy then Disney has much bigger problems than this.

Scrambling To Fix It

I'd hardly call their negotiation offers "fixing" it. "Scrambling" is accurate enough though.

lol fuck you, Disney. You had a good thing going. I love Star Wars, and I would have given you a subscription indefinitely for that. But no - you had to prostrate yourself to the fascists, and in doing so you bit the hand that feeds. I’m going to pirate every single bit of your content I can point my torrent box at from now on, and I’m going to seed and share it as much as I can. Fuck you, genuinely.
