Disney is banking on a password crackdown and spate of sequels as it pushes to make its streaming business profitable. 

The company, which is under pressure as audiences move away from traditional pay-TV and cinema, said it was on track to meet its goals after new subscribers and price rises helped to narrow losses in its streaming business.

Your first comment on this thread, after I remarked that the Disney movies that OP didn't like are the Disney movies my kids liked, and you responded that kids are not a good judge of quality.

You were speaking on Disney, apparently not knowing what you're speaking about.

[–] Doof@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, I’m speaking on kids not being the best case for taste, they/you used the Disney example. I did not. That’s how discussions work, you dork. I mean you seem to be able to follow along until you add your own narrative, so I think you can figure it out.

Sir, this is a thread about Disney on a post about Disney

[–] Doof@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fucking brain rot, you think you’ve made a point but you only made yourself look more foolish. I know what the fuck my own point is. You say my kids like these movies, I say regardless of how you feel about it ‘kids don’t have the best taste’. That’s it. That’s the point. I dunno why people can‘t seem to understand that sometimes people are talking about a certain part of their comments. It’s either being purposefully obtuse or straight up dumb. You can decide.

A group of people, standing on a corner on a sunny day. They are having a pleasant conversation about Disney movies.

Approaching quickly you blurt out "Kids have bad taste!"

"Huh?" The group replies. "I think they're supposed to be for kids."

"Fucking Brain Rot" you reply, shaking your head at their obtuse attempts at communication.

My guy this is a forum not a public street where two people are having a discussion, don’t be daft. Not only that the guy you respond to also responded with pointing out the same fallacy, so how are you going to explain that away?
