迪士尼公司正面临来自用户和好莱坞明星的广泛抵制,起因涉及对脱口秀主持人吉米·坎摩尔节目的无限期停播。用户们通过取消流媒体订阅和度假计划来表达不满,而包括漫威系列演员在内的明星则公开支持坎摩尔,并呼吁抵制迪士尼的流媒体平台(如Disney+和Hulu)及主题公园。此次争议的关键在于FCC主席对坎摩尔言论的批评以及潜在的监管行动,引发了关于言论自由的担忧。尽管迪士尼的流媒体和主题公园业务是其重要的收入来源,但此次抵制可能对其财务造成显著影响。部分保守派人士也对政府干预媒体言论自由的潜在后果表示警惕。

🎙️ **用户广泛抵制与明星声援:** 迪士尼因停播吉米·坎摩尔节目引发用户不满,大量用户取消Disney+和Hulu订阅,并有明星(如Tatiana Maslany, Marisa Tomei)在社交媒体上呼吁抵制。这表明公众对迪士尼处理言论和内容审查的方式存在担忧。

💰 **潜在的财务影响:** Disney+和Hulu合计拥有1.83亿订阅用户,而主题公园业务收入和利润也显著增长。用户抵制可能对这些关键业务板块造成重大财务打击,影响迪士尼的整体盈利能力。

⚖️ **言论自由与政府监管争议:** FCC主席的批评和对监管行动的暗示,引发了关于政府是否应干预媒体言论的广泛讨论。即使是部分保守派人士也对这种潜在的“滑坡效应”表示担忧,认为这可能威胁到所有人的言论自由,而非仅针对特定个体。

🏢 **内容审查与公司立场:** 停播坎摩尔节目被视为迪士尼在政治压力下对内容进行审查的举动,引发了关于公司是否应屈服于外部压力的争论。作家兼制片人Damon Lindelof甚至表示,如果节目不恢复,他将无法继续为迪士尼工作,凸显了内容创作者对公司处理此类事件方式的看法。

The internet was already lighting up with users sharing screenshots of canceled subscriptions to Disney-owned streaming services or canceled vacations at Disney properties.

Protestors have also appeared outside the corporate headquarters in Burbank, Calif., while angry Disney+ and Hulu users have flooded social media accounts and customer service pages.

Meanwhile, Hollywood celebrities have been expressing support for Kimmel and disappointment at Disney for suspending his show indefinitely amid pressure from the FCC.

But some stars have gone a step further by endorsing calls to boycott Disney, including actors featured in Marvel shows and movies.

Tatiana Maslany, who starred in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, posted a behind-the-scenes image from the show on Instagram with text overlaid that says “cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!”

In addition, Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May in Spider-Man movies distributed by Sony as well as Avengers movies from Disney, reposted a call to “unsubscribe and boycott” Disney platforms.

That follows other talent threatening to turn away from Disney. Writer and producer Damon Lindelof, whose show Lost ran on ABC, expressed his solidarity with Kimmel and said he hopes the suspension of his show is lifted soon.

“If it isn’t, I can’t in good conscience work for the company that imposed it,” he added.

Disney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Boycotts of Disney streaming platforms and theme parks could create major financial repercussions, especially as those businesses have helped prop up earnings at the conglomerate recently.

The company’s latest quarterly report showed that Disney+ hit 128 million subscribers, up 1.8 million from the prior quarter, with Disney+ and Hulu combining for 183 million subscribers.

That helped the streaming business grow its profit, climbing further out of a year-ago loss and offsetting weaker results in film and TV.

Meanwhile, the parks and experiences division, which includes the cruise line, saw revenue and operating income jump on increased spending from customers and more hotel stays.

During his show, Kimmel criticized what he called the “MAGA gang” for “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” 

Afterward but before ABC pulled the show, FCC Chair Brendan Carr called Kimmel’s comments “truly sick” and hinted at regulatory action against the network and Disney, warning “we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way.”

Nexstar Media Group, which owns 32 ABC affiliate stations and is pursuing a $6.2 billion merger with Tegna requiring FCC approval, announced it would preempt the show “for the foreseeable future.” 

Sinclair Broadcasting, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, also removed the show and demanded Kimmel apologize to Kirk’s family and make a “substantial personal donation” to them and Turning Point USA.

After Kimmel’s suspension, Carr later told CNBC that “we’re not done yet.”

While Carr has drawn broad support from Republicans, including President Donald Trump, some conservatives have expressed alarm at the prospect of regulatory infringement on free speech.

“I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he was fired,” Sen. Ted Cruz said Friday on his podcast. “But let me tell you, if the government gets in the business of saying, ‘We don’t like what you, the media, have said, we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like’—that will end up bad for conservatives.”

Cruz, who is the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the FCC, called Carr’s remarks “dangerous as hell,” warning against a future where the government can influence what broadcast networks put out.

“I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying, ‘We’re going to decide what speech we like and what we don’t, and we’re going to threaten to take you off air if we don’t like what you’re saying,’” Cruz added. “And it might feel good right now to threaten Jimmy Kimmel, but when it is used to silence every conservative in America, we will regret it.”
