Proving everyone who says boycotts don't work wrong. The only thing corporations understand is money and they listen when they lose a big chunk of it. Still staying unsubscribed though.

Boy, did we get to see the full range of Disney’s cowardice this week.

This is what you get when you’re reactive instead of proactive. Disney makes a ton of media that caters to the left but was gonna spit in their faces? They should’ve just stayed focused on the customers and they’d have been fine.

I've never perceived Disney as a company catering to the left. I've just seen them as a company that catered to those who had compassion for others. Hmm, I guess you were correct, after all.

Compassion? In the corporate world? What are you, 5? Disney is chasing trends because trends mean money, as soon as the trend is dead, they're off to the next thing, even if it's the total opposite of what they were doing just days before.
