Disney is arguably one of the greediest and shittiest corporations on earth—this shouldn't be a surprise.
They made their billions charging families thousands of dollars to visit their theme parks. They sell $50 t-shirts and mouse ears made by Honduran child labor for pennies.
If anyone deserves to have their shit pirated, it's disney
Yeah Disney does some shifty shit, but the theme parks? Idk man, if people want to pay thousands of dollars to wait in hours of lines for realistically like 10 rides in a day, I guess that says more about the consumer. Nostalgia is a hell of a marketing tactic.
You’d be surprised how efficient some people can be with that. I have a friend who’s a “Disney adult” and any time I’ve gone to the park with him we get through about every ride we want while also hitting shops and food. We get there at opening and from there it’s just a follow the leader because he goes so much he knows how to game the crowds to maximize what we do
Not even close lol he’s a school teacher and his wife is like store lead/manager or some shit at a chik fil a. They just budget for what they enjoy very well
This is the strangest thing to be insulting about. Its a teacher and a child fil a manager and youre trying to say they're too privileged? Because they use the pittance they're given from teaching children and feeding people, two essential pillars of society, to have one modicum of joy in life? Thats somehow morally offensive to you? Fuck off dude.
lol have you not heard the term before? It basically just means a massive lover of all things Disney. He has Disney merch all around his house, has Disney tattoos, goes to the parks a few times a month, has the annual pass, etc. the same way you have massive Star Wars, Harry Potter, or lord of the rings (me) nerds, that’s him but with Disney
No, I have not. Just feels weird to be such a big fan of children's movies that you invent a phrase for it. I can understand liking some of the movies, or memeing on them, but actually defining yourself by your love for something that is clearly marketed for kids is strange to me. Like seeing an old man with Teletubbies tattoos or posters of The Powerpuff Girls.
He doesn’t label himself that. It’s just a general label god knows who came up with it for big Disney fans. Simple as that. And at this point, Disney is far more than just kids entertainment. Unless you want to count Star Wars, pirates of the Caribbean, haunted mansion, and other adult oriented content as children’s entertainment.
It really isn’t that deep. He likes Disney. It’s simple as that.
Cinderella is probably the one you’re thinking of lol
Basically just about anything “mostly” kid oriented can still have a large adult fan base. Pokemon is mainly for children but look how many full grown adults are massive fans of the franchise (for better or for worse). Fortnite (for some reason) is considered a game for children yet there’s a large population of adults who love the game. Same with my little pony, but that one just confuses me personally. End of the day it’s media meant to entertain, and even if you’re an adult you can still be a child in some ways so long as you aren’t being like a creep or any of that weirdo shit haha
Disney isn’t just ‘children movies’. It sounds like you have no idea what you’re talking about. You should sit this conversation out since you’re not educated enough to participate
