This is a 5-star podcast. But today I’m unfollowing.
The thought of going to Disney parks, or supporting Disney content in any deep or enthusiastic way, is becoming too much to bare. Who would have though the Walt Disney Company would become one of the most family-unfriendly corporate media enterprises. It’s all happened really in the last 6-8 years, it’s amazing. Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, ESPN, it’s all an “unsafe” space for children, people with traditional values, conservatives, free-people, and just folks who love the things they grew-up with. Len and Jim say all the time that Disney parks is now only focusing on the whales: rich international families, childless adults, frequent-visitor-super-fans. Their values are (1) corporate power and money, and (2) far-off-the-scale leftism. Not a very happy combination. Disney Corp runs its own city, here in America, outside of democratic systems…let that sink in. No hard-feelings to other Dish fans, you’re all free to spend your money as you wish, and pretend Disney is still top-notch entertainment. Len and Jim are great, but I think even they have become fatigued with being so close to the Disney orbit.
