    Disney has over 200k employees. Is it really that much of a stretch that one of them talked to a journalist? I’m not an accountant… haven’t ever talked to one that handles my workplace, but I still know how much money we’re making and how much other branches of the same company are making and what the drama in the other places is and so so much more… people talk… It’s that’s easy.

    And even if it’s a lie… Is the 4B drop from disney also a lie? Is the fact that they promptly brought him back also a lie? The fact the first show after his return was watched by 3 times the normal amount of people? The number might be real or it might not, that’s how journalists’ sources work, but it’s accurate that the boycott worked. Even if there were only 10k people, it still had a visible effect. That’s what matters.

      Yes it is, its even more hard to believe that that person would talk to a no name on bluesky and tell them “sure, post that shit, mate.”. Considering the world of legal hurt that person would be in… nah.

      This is all the same dog shit that was posted when Gina Carano got fired. They had their little boycott, then their click bait press told them a lot of shit about lots of cancellations, followed by drops in stocks, etc etc etc. Its recycled dogshit, and youre all falling for it, just like they did with Carano. Wake the fuck up and see the media for what it is.

      Get this through your fucking head. The boycott did not work. Disney doesnt make its money is subs, it makes its money everywhere else. If you really wanted to hurt disney, the way to do that was watching ABC and seeing who the local ads were being run by and then contacting them. They, the advertisers, are who Disney would listen to. They do not give a single fuck about you, me or anyone else who watches their slop.
