Yay, Disney hate is finally mainstream! I'm basically inline with popular opinion by virtue of maintaining my firmly held beliefs I developed decades ago and held even when it was inconvenient and unpopular!!! It's my time to shine for the short period of time this transient fad plays out!

Kidding and current events aside, Disney media has given me the creeps since I was a kid. The popular cartoon movies just felt like propaganda. I'm not saying everything Disney hits that note, but so, so much of it does.

Then I started meeting Disney adults and, while I understand that Disney has no control over how these people act and choose to represent them, all I can say is OH MY GOD. Crazy cat lady, bizarre couple who live in Christmas themed home decor and wardrobe year round, homeless person who's still got money for meth and thinks he's Jesus vibes all wrapped up into one with sprinkles on top.

Then they took over local news stations and started presenting "Disney" as news -- entire segments dedicated to Disney intellectual properties disguised as "breaking news" kind of bullshit.

And finally they wrapped their slimy tendrils around the neck of super heroes and Star Wars and squeezed until blood poured out every pore while the corpse dried out and rotted.

So, thank you, I've had enough, and at least now maybe a few more people will see what kind of monster they've been supporting all along and decide to sever the ties.

It’s a bit funny and sad that the most innovation I’ve seen from Indiana Jones and Star Wars has been from video games - a cinematic medium they contract with, but don’t have as much twisted control over.

When Cal picks up a “crossguard” in Jedi: Survivor it was at first a moment of sequel cringe, but then they had the idea of having him wield it like a two-handed bastard sword where it has more weight, and it gives it such a cool identity.
