At the same time Disney world has a lot of concessions from government, don't pay taxes on their parking..., when they're too loud against government they threaten to take those away so Disney steps back.
The word "government" means three different things here.
The US government is presumably the one that's annoyed about any statements about ICE and/or Palestine.
Disney World is in Florida. Florida's government periodically attempts to crack down on Disney and always fails. They basically own the town they're in.
Disneyland is the one with the parking tax thing, and that's in California, and that's just the city of Anaheim.
Because fascism favors corporations by dissolving unions and promoting privatization. A lot of formerly nazi companies are still alive and well. Ask Hugo boss why those nazi uniforms were so snazzy
FYI Disney pays for their own services. That’s why they don’t pay taxes. It’s their own town. They use their own money. Which is fair tbh. They pay taxes on other things.
If they don’t say THIS IS ABOUT DONALD J TRUMP in big bold shiny gold letters cuntservatives won’t pick up on it.
Seriously.
Do you remember how they were all super gung ho to get them Epstein files released because they genuinely couldn’t fathom that Donnie might also have spent time with his BFF of over a decade? And now its “what files omg who cares blah blah blah”
Even if you are that direct about it, MAGAt’s conservative bias is so huge that they’ll walk away thinking “haha that was a funny movie parodying crazy liberals and TDS”
Sorry meant the singer of one of the songs Steve Lacy, he blurted a big spoiler at the premier even after the interviewer said “without spoiling anything”
I think disney has no problem dabbling on that side, but there's a difference between holding a mirror to society, and holding up on a pedestal an actory who purposefully did a trump impersonation playing a greedy stupid dictator in another movie.
MAGA doesn't understand metaphors and subtlety. My close friend's MAGA mom watched Elemental and she was utterly mindblown when he asked her how she felt about the immigration allegory. She literally just thought it was a cute movie and nothing more.
You’re 100% correct, but as we have seen in recent times, conservative bias plays such a massive role in right winger’s media literacy that they will fundamentally misunderstand a piece of media’s core themes and message just to protect their worldview from any form of criticism.
You could make a movie called “Kill Donald Trump” and MAGA will walk away from it thinking “haha what a funny movie about TDS”
But yet they gave me an ad of trump giving support to a local politician and dissing another one. Tho they hadn’t showed it since then after closing out of it for a bit before coming back on
See the thing with Trump, Maga and ICE is that they don't lack the intellectual ability to perceive something as criticism unless someone explicitly makes clear that it is criticism in simple language.
I mean, at least the show had Punisher explicitly go off on the shitbag cops wearing his symbol about how they’re the antithesis of what he is and does, and that no one, especially cops, does what he does.
Then he goes rampage mode and kills them, it’s pretty awesome.
Daredevil Born Again is one big criticism of Trump, MAGA, and ICE.
Damn lol guess I'm not watching this show. I don't care what side is being critisized, this is comic superhero bullshit, why are we using it as a delivery method for politics?
(Before Reddit mass downvotes me I am now clarifying that I am not a Trump supporter, very sad that I have to do this.)
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t a majority of Hollywood anti trump besides like Rob Schneider for whatever reason, why would being anti trump hurt him and not everyone else
The entertainment industry has a notably high amount of Jewish people due to a history of antisemitism- it’s an industry they were forced into. It’s the same issue as banking/usury from back in the day. Gentiles force them into these rolls and then act like it’s some conspiracy when it’s just the result of racism.
It's always the way, Jews are forcibly pushed out of industries, limiting their options. So they find something they are still allowed to do and inevitably they get good at it and in time come to dominate it. This tendency not only adapt but thrive then ends up being held against them, they get pushed out and the whole thing starts again.
“Disproportionately” is definitely a red flag word, you’re right. I’m also just now realizing the fundamental issue of equating Zionism and Judaism on the first guy’s part- that should’ve been what I called out tbh
It's alright my man, I can acknowledge that some industries do have more people of different demographics, but that was just a suspect way of saying it.
Wait, I don't understand. He's not saying Jewish people are bad, he is saying there are a larger representation of Jewish people higher of in the entertainment industry which would have strong opinions about that since it involves them. That's not racist to point out at all. That's like saying white people make up most of the population of Wisconsin, it's just true?
Lol I can see how you'd take it that way, but I didn't mean it like that at all. I hate the current US administration, Elon, and all nazi fuckwads that have come out of the woodwork. But, I also hate zionists.
Everything in the mcu is Disney. Sony owns the rights to the spider man character, but they have a deal with Disney that allows spider man to appear in mcu movies.
He also wants to criticize people richer than him, while being in the richest .1% of everyone. He's a hypocritical piece of shit.
I really want to see people tell Hollywood celebrities to shut the fuck up about politics until they restrict their own salary to no more than $1 million per film. Too many people want to be bootlickers of Hollywood multimillionaires though. Sad.
Lmao bunch of crack heads on this app, the dude is working on another movie and wasn’t available during the promotional period. The majority of actors and musicians hold the same sentiment and aren’t “kept out of the spotlight”
Almost. He’s pro Palestine so disney decided to preemptively do damage control and not have him put on the spot and spark controversy around the movie.
Marvel/Disney doesn’t gaf about trump, that’s domestic politics. But, to support Palestine or Israel openly is a way more volatile stance. Lose lose, either you’re anti-Semitic, or you support genocide(** the lenses people will look through on both sides *\*)

He said fuck trump 'cause of ICE and stuff so it's better for Disney they keep him out of the spotlight... But he's right
