I dislike #Disney. My kids never went when they were young, we didn’t plot them down in front of Disney movies to keep them quiet, etc. But this article is a strawman. It does not actually quote anyone who objects or analyse their reasoning. So it’s free to make up whatever weak or irrational reasons the author imagines, and then deal with them.

My objection to Disney is that it is a bad faith actor who is bad for society. An empire built on embellishing things from the public domain that fights tooth and nail to never contribute to the public domain. A company notoriously aggressive in defending its own copyright and indifferent or even hostile to respecting others’ copyrights.

Litigious to a fault. Remember when Disney tried to get a widower's wrongful death lawsuit about a Disney restaurant dismissed and sent to arbitration because the man had signed up for a Disney+ streaming account several years ago? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

So there are reasons why people dislike Disney. But this article explores zero of them.

Way to miss the point. Over the last 100 years, Disney has steadily made itself richer while making copyright worse in the USA and looting the existing public domain.

Snobbery? GTFO of here.

For me, it is 100% about the price.

Spouse and I, childless adults, have gone to Disneyland and Disney World and had quite a lot of fun. But ticket cost started turning us away years ago.
