lol fuck you, Disney. You had a good thing going. I love Star Wars, and I would have given you a subscription indefinitely for that. But no - you had to prostrate yourself to the fascists, and in doing so you bit the hand that feeds. I’m going to pirate every single bit of your content I can point my torrent box at from now on, and I’m going to seed and share it as much as I can. Fuck you, genuinely.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Oh, in that case we'll just keep paying the evil bastards!
Yeah, too late. They let the mask slip. We've seen their real face.
Wow, if they really didn't anticipate a backlash, they are even more clueless than I thought.
I cancelled my sub like 6 months ago because their programming has been like 90% terrible for a couple of years now. Combine that with tacit approval of fascism, and they don’t seem to have a lot of selling points left.
But Iger is a business genius, so I’m sure he’ll have this sorted in no time. ~/s~
I cancelled mine and was actually in the middle of watching the new King of the Hill and Alien Earth.
Matey, maybe you've got to sail the high seas for a life of plunder.
Disclaimer: I'm not good at pirate talk.
I just cancelled my subscription and explained why.
