Didn't they try to but he refused to accept their terms by not apologizing? (I don't watch Kimmel but he earned my respect for that.)

Same, I don't dislike Kimmel but just never really watched him. Still cancelled Disney+ even though I have a kid that will be very angry not having Bluey on demand.

It's us against them for at least the next ~3.5 years (hopefully not longer),

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well personally I'd go the piracy route and get Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid. That way the kid will stay happy and you'll sleep easy knowing that you're not giving Disney a single cent.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Kid can just move on to something else. There's plenty of content out there even without sailing the high seas

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 6 points 4 days ago

You can still have bluey on demand, it's just served off of jellyfin or plex instead

[–] wizblizz@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Physical media still works without resorting to piracy, and setting up a home media server is pretty straightforward.

[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Just check to see if Disney gets a cut of the physical media sales first. If it does, buy it used.

It's worse they also demanded a donation to tpusa.

[–] Sundiata@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

If Kimmel were to donate to tpusa. he'd be helping sites like this which are created by turningpointusa and managed by it: https://www.professorwatchlist.org/ https://www.schoolboardwatchlist.org/

turning point usa created and manages these sites.

the teachers targeted by these sites face death threats everyday, women face threats of rape and torture for teaching progressive values in american schools.

scroll to the bottom and you'll see its created by turning point usa,

The aim of the sites(there are more) is to terrorize professors who refuse to teach far right ideology or who oppose it. This is borderline domestic terrorism.

turning point usa is a hate group.

They want Kimmel to knowingly endorse and financially support a hate group that fuels domestic terrorism and hatred.

Its one thing to talk shit about people and say that you personally hate them, its another to create a harassment campaign listing their PII, the place where they work and more to potentially cause a Paul Pelosi situation to happen and get them fired for speaking the obvious.

charlie is no saint, he crossed a line here.
