A protest that is gaining ground. After the famous animator was fired last Thursday by the instrumentalization denounced by the conservative camp of the murder of Charlie Kirk, many personalities of the film and television industry call to unsubscribe from Disney+. Disney is the ABC channel parent company that suspended Jimmy Kimmel. Transmitted with the hashtags #boycottdisney and #Boycottabcnetwork, these voices denounce the political censorship imposed by the study.
If a demonstration took place last Thursday in front of the Walt Disney facilities, it was on social networks that the outrage gave a new turn. Amy Landecker actresses (Transparent), Cynthia Nixon (Sex and city), Tatiana Maslary (She-HulkThe Marvel series transmitted in Disney), as well as the writer Wajahat Ali, for example, called his fans, on Instagram and X, to finish his Disney+account. Lactrice Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May in Spider-Man but also in Avengers: Final of the gameHe transmitted the call to finish his subscription.
Some of them have also been included in the Boicot The Hulu platform and the Bouquet Sports ESPN, which also belong to the Walt Disney company.
“Goodbye Disney+”
Other Hollywood figures go even further, saying that they no longer want to collaborate with the study, such as Boots Riley, the director of Sorry to bother youor Damon Lindelof, the creator of LostSeries transmitted in ABC and Disney+.
“I was shocked, sad and furious with the suspension [de Jimmy Kimmel] And I hope you get up soon. If this is not the case, I cannot, in all conscience, work for the company that imposed it, “he said on Instagram.
The suspension of the animator Jimmy Kimmel is part of a series of concessions of the main media, subject to strong pressure from the Trump government, to preserve their economic interests, even if that means relegating freedom of expression in the background.
Many Internet users have also followed the movement, also transmitting screenshots of their subscription termination to Disney+ or canceling trips or cruises provided with the group.
“Boicotte ABC and Disney, defend our rights guaranteed by the first amendment,” wrote a surfer. The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States, ratified in 1791, refers to freedom of religion, expression, press freedom or the right to “go peacefully.”
