Disney+ Cancels Kimmel, Subscribers Cancel Disney+ – Classic!
In a plot twist juicier than a midseason reality TV exit, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely after his zinger about Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter sparked outrage from FCC chair Brendan Carr. Cue fireworks: boomer honeymooners Gary and Cheryl Anderson canceled their Disney+ and Hulu on September 18, pledging eternal boycott because 'freedom of speech' got the Disney squish. ESPN became 'a negative way to start the day' post-Trump – apparently Disney's magic touch isn’t so magical to everyone. Meanwhile, former Forbes writer David Axe nixed subscriptions, calling out Disney for 'caving to Trump' despite finding Kimmel unfunny. Tatiana Maslany, star of 'She-Hulk,' joined the anti-Disney squad rallying 512,000 followers to unleash cancel fury. Google trends exploded with 'cancel Disney Plus' searches reaching a 12-month high Thursday night, crashing cancellation pages, while Reddit threads turned into digital salt mines. Boycotts of Tesla and Target are still fresh wins in the protest highlight reel, but the Mouse House may soon find itself waving a white flag – or at least losing subscribers faster than YouTube cuts off controversial creators.
