Final thoughts on Disney, Gina Carano, the boycott and the future. My timeline this morning is filled with a bunch of people listing off all the things on Disney+ with comments like "Right, like you're going to give all of this up, for one bad character."
Yeah. I am.

And I'm going to give up even more then that. You see this isn't about Cara Dune, or Gina Carano. This is about Disney as a company. A company that has history of buying up properties and destroying them. closing their competitors and putting people of of work...

of hiring people that will abuse fans that don't tow the political line, and firing others that feel the same way. Of not paying their authors for the work they did, pandering to a country that is running literal concentration camps, while calling angry fan's nazis.

this isn't about Gina Carano, she was only the last in a long line of straws. Nothing a company puts out could make me support them if I feel they are immoral. So yeah, I'm going to give it all up. And more.

because you don't win by canceling Disney+ and then signing up again for book of boba fett, or wanda vision. or turning off one show but watching 18 others. You win by giving it all up. but then, if your like me, you have to go a step further even then that.

In a world like this any publicity is good publicity. Even bitching about star wars or disney helps them out. So I am going to give that up as well. I'm not just going to stop buying their products. I'm going to stop talking about them.

No more posts about how bad things are, or video responses to articles, no more griping about KK or Iger, not even movie reviews about the good things they bought, like the original star wars, no more disgruntled jedi.

because even the name and the logo will help them out. even if i'm giving them the finger, it's still publicity. And yeah, I'm just one person. I've heard that over and over again the last 12 hours. "You're just one"....
And they are right.

I am just one. but if I am one of many. Then that makes a difference now doesn't it. And maybe I'm not. Maybe it's just me. I can live with that too, I have many times in the past, and I'm ok with it.

I was planing on going on a hiatus from twitter for lent. That is still the plan, I don't know if I'll leave early or not, it will depend on how many dumbasses try to keep listing off the Disney+ lineup, still not understanding I don't care.
fucking sheeple.
10/14
but during that time I will be rebranding, here, and the youtube channel. Hell I might even start over completely. I don't plan to abandon my love of real star wars. Just not going to give Disney free publicity. Not until things change. and i doubt they will.

I encourage you, if you're reading this and also as angry as I am, to do the same. Walk away. "what you resist, persists". Don't give it the time and energy it needs to fester like a plague. maybe it will work, maybe it won't....

But if it doesn't, and they really do just keep doing the shit they have always done... do you really want to keep giving them your money? is it really worth it, in the long run? Only you can answer that for yourself.

Thanks for listening, Cancel Disney Plus... Cancel it all...

Good luck.
