[ID: Bluesky post from Ryan T. Brown @ toadsanime. It has a picture of the disney logo and it reads: Disney is arguing they can't be sued for a woman dying of nut allergies at their restaurant after promising it was safe, because her widower had a Disney trial 4 years before - with its terms meaning you can't take Disney or its partners to court: END ID]
This is how I feel about the current streaming landscape
[ID: Image of a meme format from the tv show spongebob squarepants. In panel one, Mr. Krabs is is angry. The subtitle reads: "all of you, get out!" the cartoon fish citizens have been altered to have logos of streaming services over their faces, namely prime video, peacock, netflix, max and disney plus. In the second panel all the fish are gone except a clown with the logo for the streaming service tubi tv added onto its face. Mr. Krabs points at the clown. The subtitle reads: "Except you, you stay!" and then a third panel of the clown looking happy with a glow behind them, this time zoomed in on the clown with the tubi tv logo now bigger on where its face would be.

I find it weird that Disney has Gravity Falls in its LGBTQ Stories section next to things like The Owl House. Disney at the time blocked Alex Hirsch from including a lesbian couple even as side characters
The future is amazing! I can go watch the latest and greatest from Walt Disney Corporation on Disney for only 8$ a month. I’d even pay 12$ a month. Walt Disney Corporations makes some great stuff and I think they should buy some more studios to increase the catalog of Disney .
I have several Funko Pops™ for characters that are the intellectual property of Walt Disney Corporation.
Pirate’s Codex
Created a little site here with links to free streaming sites and places to pirate media that i personally trust and that dont seem to bombard you with ads or try to use your pc for bitcoin mining or whatever.
I will update this site as I find more sites that i personally use and trust.
Here ya go, happy plundering. Be gay do crimes!
Disney are garbage!
there’s people that seriously don’t understand my hatred of Disney, but let me just bring up a few things.
- Disney has owned the trademark for the Swahili phrase “Hakuna Matata” since 2003.
- Disney applies to trademark the phrase “Dia de los muertos” (May 7th, 2013)
- Marvel CEO donates 1 million to Trump fundraiser (January 29th, 2016)
- Disney denies father’s request of putting spiderman onto his son’s gravestone (July 6th, 2019)
- Disney tries to stop female workers from joining together for pay bias lawsuit (October 21, 2019)
- Disney copyright strikes use of baby yoda gifs (Nov 25th, 2019)
- Disney Sued by Labor Union for Failing to Pay Living Wage: Employees Have to ‘Live in Their Cars’ (Dec 11, 2019)
- Disney lays off 28,000 people from their parks business (September 29th, 2020)
- Disney blames mass layoffs on COVID restrictions (Sep 29th, 2020)
- Disney fires man for taking paternity leave (Oct 24th, 2020)
- Disneyland and other theme parks exploring options to sue the state of California to be able to re-open in the middle of a pandemic (Oct 22, 2020)
- Disney World lays off 720 performers at Orlando Theme Park (Oct 28th 2020)
- Disney refuses to pay royalties owed to novel writer (Nov 20th, 2020)
And that’s just the stuff I found through some light searching online, to say nothing off experiences of workers, the fact that they gobble up studios like it’s going out of style or their lobbying work for things like the Mickey Mouse Protection Act of 1998
They are not good as a company, they are not friendly, they are a scummy business and therefore pirating Disney content is morally right!
Piracy is cool and ethical.
When supporting Disney means money going to fucking uyghur genocide camp security guards
When supporting Ubisoft means giving money to literal rapists and abusers
When supporting DC Comics supports awful practices and the shitshow that is Warner Bros
Then piracy is more ethical than giving any of these corporations money. Are there good people working for these companies? Sure but throwing money at them will not help them. Money flows up because its trickle up ecenomics.
Seriously in the early 00s people pirated all the time and it was cool but perhaps due to corporate propaganda people no longer pirate and subscribe to like six streaming services.
Google "how to torrent"
Remember kids, piracy is ethical and cool.
People: -know that disney has assisted in human rights violations, has a disgusting apathy for unions and its workers in general and has a stranglehold over media-
People: -continue to buy disney merch as much as possible and are subscribed to Disney -
Me: hey maybe not support disney? They seem pretty evil.
People:
“This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”
Strange how Pocahontas and Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World are exempt from this disclaimer….
Even ignoring that Pocahontas should have the same text it's interesting that disney just has it as like a small text at the end.

The only acceptable and pro-consumer alternative to physical media is drm-free digital media!
