I can't comprehend how they give so few f's about their image as to even contemplate that in public.

I hate to be a back in my day kinda person, but there was a time at which large family-friendly companies were concerned enough with their image not to pull that shit, at least out loud.

Perks of being a monopoly. Every time someone gets upset with them, their response is just dripping with a "you'll be back" mentality. Same as u/spez during the reddit third party app stuff.

I am going to be the "back in the day" guy. Huge corporations have never been paragons of virtue, but at least they used to be smart enough to protect their image.

"Back in the day", I could see Disney firing the lawyer who was dumb enough to suggest such a strategy.
