Disney tried to force the case into arbitration by citing the agreement on the widower’s Disney Plus trial account.

Disney has now agreed that a wrongful death lawsuit should be decided in court following backlash for initially arguing the case belonged in arbitration because the grieving widower had once signed up for a Disney Plus trial.

“With such unique circumstances as the ones in this case, we believe this situation warrants a sensitive approach to expedite a resolution for the family who have experienced such a painful loss,” chairman of Disney experiences Josh D’Amaro said in a statement to The Verge. “As such, we’ve decided to waive our right to arbitration and have the matter proceed in court.”

we decided to waive our right to arbitration

Fuuuuck you with an umbrella. You didn't have that right, you just used that bullshit idea to save yourself from rightful consequences. You only stopped that idea after the massive backlash, as always. You don't get to act like the good guy uere., fuck you.

I can't wait for Disney to go bankrupt and be split up in twenty normal entertainment companies

    Do you have some reason why you think they will be bankrupt and/or split up?

    I wouldn't hold my breath for a bankruptcy - Disney has Gross profits of ~30 Billion a year and net profits of ~2-5 Billion a year. Even if their lawyers become completely incompetent and allow them to be sued for max penalties every month of the year, it wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket.

    I met a shitposter from modern social media,
    Who asked with a frown, wrinkle lip
    And sneer of cold contempt:

    "Do you have some reason why you think
    This company with vast amounts of these
    stamped lifeless things
    Will go bankrupt and/or split up?"

    But regardless of all the corp-simping,
    In the future, only these words survive.

    "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away."

    Why is corpo-simping so common on this platform?

    Some kind of Stockholm syndrome i guess.

    This companies violates us constantly, but most people are so traumatised by ads and social presure that they don't see it anymore.

    I put ads before social presure due to comedy, but also:

    Ads eats brains. Thus creating mindless consumers. Oh look, the perfect consumer!
