Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
Since this is a thing now, here is a place to discuss it. Protests against Disney continue.

Re: Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
Headline next month: "Evangelicals threaten to boycott Apple by taking away their kids' iPhones." Tim Cook, CEO, is an openly gay man, so fresh off the success ( ) of this boycott, they'll aim even higher than Disney.
Headline two years later: "Record number of evangelical children leaving the faith; Clergy baffled."
I've said before and I'll say it again that when you mess with the two largest pillars of commercial American popular culture, fundamentalist Christianity will not prevail. For the two years of the pandemic, millions of parents across America have promised their kids that "when this is over, we're going on the best Disneyland vacation you have ever imagined." Then the rabid fundies cancel it because of this invented moral panic.
And then, just possibly, they take away their kids' iPhones in addition to cancelling the Disney vacation. Already, something close to 50% of evangelical kids reject the faith when they reach adulthood. Boycotting Disney (and potentially Apple) will raise that by a measurable amount in a couple years.

Re: Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
The fundies have been trying to boycott Disney for over 20 years. Because they have been so successful, they now have to call them groomers to get attention.
It must really burn their britches that folks on the left need only make a threat of a boycott and a bunch of companies will change to prevent it.

These Disney protests are drawing out all kinds of worked up people. I don’t even know what is going on here.

It's the vile influence of Christian missionaries. The only way we can achieve true freedom is to see redneck Junk swinging free. Only then can the Jesuit Menace be defeated.

We like the Jesuit Menace around here. It knew about the temperature of testes.
Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden:

Special session of the FL legislature called to target Disney.

Disney has the capacity to strike back… not the usual type of target of deathsatansis.

Re: Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
Is Disney an "independant special district" and what is that in FL law?

Re: Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
As I recall Disney got the Florida legislature to give the Disney World site special municipal status so that it is a city itself and not inside a city in the way Disneyland is in Anaheim.

Re: Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
There are quite a few "independent special districts" here in FL.. over 1000 in 2014..
"The VIllages," that stronghold of MAGAts and STDs, is comprised of 17 special districts (not all independent).

Re: Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
Apparently, they're going to target only the special districts created before a certain year, which pretty much means only Disney. Not sure that can fly legally, but IANAL.

Yeah, that. You can read it yourself here: https://www.flgov.com/wp-content/upload ... mation.pdf
What is says I think is that the FL Constitution was updated in '68, but since the Disney special district was created prior to that ('67, I believe), it doesn't count. Oops last fifty years, you don't count!

That's a good one, definitely worth the few minutes. Also...

Orlando Sentinel is subscription only. Any other sources on the potential impact?
Does FL taxpayer intend to fund what Disney did pay for until now? Does Dossantis think he can levy fees with unlimited exras above cost?

Doesn’t appear to be very well thought out, you’ll be stunned to learn.

Making Disney the new migrant caravans is going to backfire spectacularly on the GOP.

Re: Disney/grooming/accusations of pedophilia
The current Florida attack on Disney, and even the weird scenarios Tacky Ted has been floating lately (Disney showing furries having gay sex onscreen … what?!?) seem to be due to something that’s flown under my radar for a while - Libs of Tik Tok -which, so typically of these morons, isn’t actually on TikTok anymore. I haven’t checked it out, honestly their world is so emotionally fraught and weird I hesitate to visit. My impression is that this person has cherry picked the weirdest of TikToks to prove that all Libs are like this, and of course the morons go baying off in a fury after the scent. For sure DJTJ bases most of his coke riffs off this crap.
Anyone here familiar with it? I won’t judge you.
ETA I’ve been trying to figure out why all of a sudden Florida is attacking its biggest money-maker. I’ve never heard even a whisper of this grooming bs before.
