Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

Fixed.

Someone had to post it, lol.

It's official, Florida under DeSantis is taking control of Reedy Creek Improvement District and is being stripped of it's "special status" from Disney.





DeSantis (and me) steepling fingers together in anticipation: "Good.....GOOOOOOD..." Maniacal laughter.

 

[Jormungandr]

Welp, they played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

From what I understand, the new Proud Family reboot is loaded with wokeness.

At least we have the "I'm about to barf" and "I AM BARFING" emoticons

White guilt is a hell of a drug I guess? It explains why some many SJW/woke types are white. Well, that and the law of averages given that they seem to crop up in the USA/Canada/Europe.

Wouldn't be the first time a cult caused its members to do something incredibly self-destructive.

Oh, but they're different, because reasons.

Turns out a lot of the lost revenue was due to losing the right to air cricket games, which seemed to have caused a massive subscription loss in Asia.

So Disney might not be going broke because they went woke, but because they tried to get into the sports streaming game and failed at it.

Yeah, but were the Indians paying the same rate for the service? Plus, even if they were paying $10 a month, that's only $72million lost. That's not much for Disney.

I think it's more the subscription loss is a long term income hit, and the parks are not doing the business they used to, while the 'Don't Say Gay' thing turned the gov of Florida into a hostile entity to Disney, instead of a lapdog, and that hurt in ways the company had not anticipated.

Right now, Disney is ripe for the 'unwokening'.

Me, a smart-ass shitposter:

Couldn't quite fit Muscle Man rejoicing over how "Worth it!" getting fired was, but whatever.

It's death by a thousand cuts, and Disney is slowly bleeding itself dry.

Stupid thing is, they've done most of the cutting themselves.

If you read further in the thread as he answers questions, he lets slip that his information is actually just the excuses on a form letter Disney sent him as a stockholder to explain the loss. That makes their conclusion a touch... suspect. Disney's not going to publish a letter saying "Because of our meddling in politics we're taking huge losses..."

It's probably still a factor, but the one that hurts their egos the least to admit to.

DeSantis has FOLDED To Disney.

"So basically Woke Disney gets to keep its nearly tax-free, regulation-free status—but with a different Board".

"The Reedy Creek Improvement District is not dissolved as of June 1 2023, but continues in full force and effect under it's new name".
