Give your Disney Plus subscription to a marginalized artist's Patreon instead

Disney is making changes to its DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) efforts.

The studio is closing down the Reimagine Tomorrow initiative that helped highlight stories and talent from underrepresented communities.

already been on a disney ban

brokenbox-studios.bsky.social•86 days ago

It's not like I have one. I only do, like, a month or something at a time, for study reasons. (Set Design for Cinema here 😅)
But I'm still trying to lean much more on physical support - like, actually owning what I buy.

skylorforscythe.bsky.social•86 days ago

Now THAT is a great idea!

autumnwitch.bsky.social•84 days ago

I dropped my Disney+ ages ago, They aren't getting any more of my money.

jameswoodall.bsky.social•84 days ago

I reposted this just to be like, yeah, fuck Disney and the streaming ecosystem. Then @nik-hasta.bsky.social pointed out I *am* a marginalised artist with a Patreon. 😅

nik-hasta.bsky.social•84 days ago

if only someone could post a link...🤔

jameswoodall.bsky.social•84 days ago

do they really think this is gonna look good for them on the history books

clonkei.bsky.social•85 days ago

just do good movies, easy

decusq7.bsky.social•85 days ago

Disney just doesn't know who to appeal to now for the most money do they?

laraprisma.bsky.social•85 days ago

Fuck Disney.

crocodilepal2025.bsky.social•68 days ago

I love Disney so much!

weirdawareness.bsky.social•86 days ago

Already pirating the very few things that I want to watch from them anyway. Fuck them and their shallow corporate ideas.

I knew it was shallow from the get go but I still hate it. Its better than nothing.

agentc00per.bsky.social•81 days ago

Thank you. I already cancelled Netflix, I'll cancel Disney too.

phantomphera.bsky.social•74 days ago

I figured they'd head towards that angle, Given the Moongirl news this doesn't seem outside what they'd go Nazi mode.
Disney's that one person who pretends to be an ally but doesn't want to put the work in and makes everything worse.

Fuck them

mdyson50.bsky.social•80 days ago

Great 😊

supernovablade.bsky.social•85 days ago

I mean, if you still want to watch the content, be like Jack Sparrow and sail the seven seas!

nelrondkeld.bsky.social•86 days ago

Already boycotted Disney due to the "don't say gay" bill they tried to support before they got a huge backlash. The only thing I saw from them, ever since, was "Inside out 2" (Though I do not remember why I did watch it)

thecin3phile.bsky.social•85 days ago

I broke that one law that's been broken a lotta times anyway.

carnavalia.bsky.social•85 days ago

genuinely feels hopeless as a marginalized creator. i’m so tired

gunborg.bsky.social•85 days ago

Burn disney down

sambeawesome.bsky.social•86 days ago

There are so many reasons to boycott Disney. This is just one more.

Cowards, disney is ran by cowards.

ringoyote.bsky.social•86 days ago

I 🏴‍☠️ everything else I am remotely interested in.

ringoyote.bsky.social•86 days ago

I actually don't even have any subscription services except YouTube Premium but I did the free VPN trick and subscribed with the VPN set to Algeria so I only pay $2.99 USD a month.

grey.lastcaw.cc•85 days ago

This, but I feel like everyone forgot about how Patreon did trans people dirty too, then quietly covered it up without undoing all the wrongful bans.

grey.lastcaw.cc•85 days ago

I couldn't contribute to anyone on patreon if I wanted to bc I'm one of the trans people they wrongfully banned. 🙃

lordtyphon.bsky.social•85 days ago

These days it seems like there isn't a online service out there that hasn't done something wrong.

grey.lastcaw.cc•85 days ago

Wrong is one thing, crippled in accessibility by hateful policy is another.

lordtyphon.bsky.social•85 days ago

I get yea, and I fully agree.

wiljes6617.bsky.social•85 days ago

Piracy and indie from now on.

pangolinfox.bsky.social•85 days ago

Damn this will be my first +1K skeet

Good.

Fuck Disney.

The stories you need are already being made by the people around you. Even moreso are the ones you create yourself. Support your friends. Boost and protect indie studios, publishers, art, music, and stories.

salem3xl.bsky.social•85 days ago

Already did, gave that subscription to a trans artist

ryderofchaos.bsky.social•85 days ago

Can you let me watch Owl House?

jerryleeockfensea.bsky.social•86 days ago

Wow!

ericleitzen.bsky.social•85 days ago

Plenty of good content on @means.tv and @nebula.tv friends

ryderofchaos.bsky.social•85 days ago

Is there The Owl House or Amphibia?

ericleitzen.bsky.social•85 days ago

Give it enough time and D will scrub them from D+ for being too "DEI" 🙄

dr-starline.bsky.social•86 days ago

PIRACY. UNSUBSCRIBE. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY.

pastelsky2027.bsky.social•84 days ago

Welp, so long The Owl House.

Yo! Ho! Yo-Ho! A pirate's like for moi!

getsumtail.bsky.social•85 days ago

You'll get a lot more bang for your buck.

After all, you know how easy it is to pirate Disney's stuff?

heikofennec.bsky.social•85 days ago

If I understand correctly, disney 'owns' multiple things like marvel and hulu. They won't be getting any $ out of me (also rip hero movies)

jadeopossum.bsky.social•85 days ago

That and also debrid services you can connect them up to Kodi and more reliably pirate media. Piracy is honestly necessary even if Disney wasn't a horrible company since a lot of shows are segmented into many many streaming services.

possumdementhe.bsky.social•86 days ago

If you have the ad-free*(no longer ad-free) version of the Hulu/Disney bundle, that's like $5 each for four artists.

desmondfallout.bsky.social•86 days ago

Already been brushing off my DVD collections and finding used discs where I can. They can't raise the sub cost on hard copies. :>

mantrabeeg.bsky.social•85 days ago

Frankly no-one should've been subscribed to that service. It's slop incarnate.
