Would you like to talk Disney?

I am not understanding what exactly are you trying to get on this.

If companies go broke because of the market, they should, right? 

The issue is here that I asked you a question and you replied about stomach medication, Halal food, or some other nonsense because you assumed I was mocking you with that question? Yes? 

So to sanction your paranoia, I went in the gutter too. 

I know you all too well. The days that I was an ideologue and talking to people suspecting everyone was either with me or against me are behind me, but that does not mean I don't understand or I forgot how one thinks. 

• So back on this thing that it bothers you about making fun of white people in advertising. Aside from this market for each company concept that we agree on, what exactly are we arguing about?

BS. You started to get snotty so I knocked you down and kicked sand in your face. Stop whining about it.

Oh, wait, if you had provided a name, rest assured I would have searched the data. Are you kidding?

Coming from your state of mind, I saw your messages before.

and also rest assured, if you made it up, would have posted my rant back to you. 

Disney, I know all about the Gina Carano controversy, as we agreed on, the market speaks/will speak.

One more time. You're better than nobody.  You're as much an ideologue as anybody here. Telling us over and over again that you're not convinces nobody and is of as much interest to the same crowd.

As to this fantasy belief of yours that you've somehow become a superior being by accepting the center...bored now.

That made me laugh. Thank you. 

No Infidel Dog, this is just a free market of ideas.    😄  😄  😄  

You say your piece, I say mine. 

I don't really care to convince you, as trust me, the last thing I would need a drag around, but the fact that you are kicking and screaming (=) is the same attitude that I had towards people that tried to speak sense in me when I was a rebel brat.

You know it all, kiddo, keep moving forward -> Society for sure is waiting for your wisdom, Infidel Dog.

Disney's problems are a lot bigger than Gina Carano. They didn't replace CEOs because they were doing so well.

They gained a little over here. but lost a ton over there. And over there is largely the land of the woke.

So, what are the issues of Disney, why don't you present your work and try with logic? 

How do you approach one "brainwashed" like me, that only knows about the "Gina Carano" controversy?

Present your information as to what else Disney has on their own record, maybe others want to read it too, I might want to do some digging too.

Because it's complex and you should already know about it. All I should have to do is point.

Ms. Marvel, She Hulk, The Eternals and multiple other woke Disney catastrophes bombed. Other Disney productions had some successes but not big money successes. The Star wars and Marvel acquisitions are no longer paying off for them the way they were expected to. 

Disney's venture into politics with what they called the "Don't say gay" bill turned into a financial disaster for them.

Disney Plus is not succeeding. 

Do want more or are you going to require me to write a book for you so I can baby-sit you through the details?

Point? My name is not Infidel "Dog" boy 😄

I don't want to start digging even though I checked one of the Eternals and have: 

• The Eternals (2021): budget of $200 million, worldwide box office gross of $393.6 million, resulting in a profit

however overall a quick scan, it is true what you say that Disney has issues because the market it seems is reacting to some of their overexaggerating in the social department. 

If I remember correctly a while ago they removed a statue of the princess in the forest story, the one where the prince kisses her, saying that is sexist. 

• You are still using oversimplification tactics, as not all movies tanked, if I check each of those, how many are in loss? be honest now? or maybe do the work next time and post actual numbers if you want to play in the big boys category. 
• We agree somewhere in the middle. 
• I am also an optimist, saying that new management will react to the market and bring the company to a more normal land.

You're obviously out of your depth on entertainment issues so I'll forgive you for not knowing a movie's gross has to at least double its budget to make a profit.

Tell you what, I'll take you back to your bivouac. Imagine you've heard about this banking crisis. Did you hear how Globalist issue pushing woke is behind a big part of that one too.

Basically "Get woke. Go broke" is everywhere.

Markets aren't jumping onto a marketing wave they're being pushed into a commie pool.

I'll boycott egregious examples of poor citizenships but within legal bounds I mostly accept business offers.

I will not read one world government conspiracy. I am too small for that. Those fights are for Hulks like you. 😎

Yes, I've heard about it, the CRISIS, all I have to say about that is "If you want to live by the sword, you will go by the sword"

Some deserve it, people forgot what money is about. Money is the value of work. 

Trust me, I play with the market too, but there should be a limit to greed and thuggery. Hope DoJ puts some in prison.

I boycott Home Depot due to the owner's support for Trump.

But only for substantial purchases. Since it's only a half mile from my house I will buy small change items there for convenience.

Ok, so that is not a boycott. Is like saying you are vegan and eating part-time stake.
