Disney deleted a Thread because people kept putting anti-fascist quotes from its movies in the replies (www.theverge.com)

”Share a Disney quote that sums up how you’re feeling right now!”

That’s what Disney posted on Threads the other day, and people immediately replied with lines from Star Wars, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and even Mary Poppins. The throughline between all the quotes: they were pretty pointedly anti-fascist and clearly aimed at the current administration

Disney constantly edits old TV shows. Episodes of the Simpsons are slowly being sanitized of "bad" things, for example.

Really? I know they dropped S03E01 because they didn't like Michael Jackson. The last time I checked, Disney+ still had a scene where Dr. Hibbert explained the "evil gene" that's shared by both Walt Disney and Hitler.

they probably have problems with family guy now, since most parodies of seth mcfarlane is criticizing disney.

also waffling around with giving ORVILLE another season, since the show contradicts the GOP in everyway, and it gets conservative panties in a wad.
