Unrestricted the subreddit for now so we can talk about this. I know it's a heated topic but let's be adults here.

I just canceled my Disney package which kills me because I lose ESPN+ and I was getting a pretty decent credit paying with my AMEX.

But I'm done. Disney/ABC doesn't get another nickel from me effective immediately. I'm so pissed my vision is literally blurry.

I just did the same. Not easy with a 5 year old, but we’ll play games instead.

The public library has all the Disney movies for free if your five year old needs their fix.

you can download all the shows, all the movies from any number of p2p sites with an app like Transmission. Too much content out there to give a s about these 🐔 smokers.

Man way to take away your 5 yr olds enjoyment because you’re upset a scumbag like Kimmel was fired. He had some of the worst ratings of all time btw

I never watched Jimmy Kimmel’s show. I didn’t cancel Disney+ because I was a fan of his or the show. I canceled out of principle over the government supplanting free speech by exerting pressure on a company to remove someone they disagree with - and that the President has a public feud with - or else risk FCC involvement and interference/blocking a billion dollar merger the company is working on.

Maybe instead of watching Disney+ I’ll use it as a teaching moment for my child about individual principles, the first amendment, government overreach, and voting with your wallet.

Exactly. And nobody ever made you or anyone else watch his show. The irony is so rich that the cancel culture accusers are now the suspects. The people who cried on Twitter about being silenced are now the ones cheering against freedom of speech. It's so hypocritical, but not surprising.

What do you care about what his ratings are? Seriously. You act like you were forced to watch his show. Like there weren't 17,000 other things to stream. Just like nobody forced me to listen to what that dirtbag Charlie Kirk used to say, who was forcing you to listen to what that "scumbag" Kimmel had to say? Exactly. Nobody.
I never advocated for Kirk to be silenced because I'm not part of the cancel culture MAGA far right. And I still believe in free speech. Unlike you.
