    I wish the big actors would utterly refuse Disney and Paramount on moral grounds. I can’t blame the people trying to break through, but once you hit a certain level you have money for life and can be as picky as you like.

    It must really kill you to see your anti-fascism content get upvoted but your pro-GOP comments get downvoted.

      Not sure what you mean. I’m actually a third party supporter. So it doesn’t bother me at all. Why would it?

      I support the Green party and everyone who is fed up with Democrats and Republicans should work on going third party. Especially after the most recent government shutdown showdown. So icky. Green Party Pride all the way for me!!!

      But this is a news community, so I think it best we stay neutral. Thank you!

          I’m not sure what you mean. This is a news community not a politics community. I am just posting news articles according to the guidelines of the community. I think maybe you don’t know what community you’re in or something? Was that post meant for me? I’m not sure what you mean. Sorry!

              How am I a troll? I posted a link to a news article from a well reputed news org, to a news community. What does my instance name have to do with anything?

    But Walt Disney WAS a fascist. So I guess he’s never working for them ever again?

      This is like saying all of the USA is fascist because of its leader. That’s obviously not true, so shit take.

        Ok. Disney has bent the knee to China and removed anything remotely LGBTQ2S+ from anything released there. They also had to be sued to pay royalties to many many people, and have made propaganda films a bunch of times. I’ll eat any three of my hats if they stand up to Herr Trump’s fascist bs.

          As shitty as it is, you need to comply with local laws to sell stuff there. If depicting murders is illegal, movies depicting that would need to comply as well.

          Anything can be propaganda when viewed through a certain lens, there’s plenty of US made propaganda movies, they’re played in other countries. I don’t think there’s a company out there that hasn’t produced propaganda of some kind.

            No arguments. I guess my point was Disney likes money, and will likely not do anything to push back against the current administration to continue making said money.
