Following the news that Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been pulled from the air “indefinitely,” netizens have been busy putting together an action plan on “how to boycott ABC” while sharing a behind-the-scenes business deal that may shed further light on the situation.
Right now, hundreds, if not thousands of Disney Plus and Hulu subscribers are deleting their accounts after Kimmel was fired over his comments in Monday night’s (September 15) episode of his chat show.
The host mentioned Charlie Kirk’s death, suggesting the “MAGA gang” are “doing everything they can to score political points” from Kirk’s murder, while highlighting president Donald Trump’s reaction to the news.
On September 17, Nexstar Media Group announced its ABC affiliates would pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air “for the foreseeable future” due to the comments regarding Kirk, with ABC – a Disney-owned company – following suit.
Ultimately, the monologue, which you can watch in the video above, criticizes Trump’s reaction. This – coupled with the fact Trump has been a staunch critic of cancel culture, comparing it to totalitarianism – has left many people denouncing ABC and the associated companies.
Alongside canceling Disney Plus and Hulu, both streaming services owned by ABC’s parent company, netizens are putting together a list of actions others can take. “Actions you can take (any or all are great, do whatever you can, if you can),” wrote one on Reddit.
“Cancel your Disney streaming services (as said in OP, that’s Disney+, Hulu, ESPN). Cancel your cable/YouTubeTV/Hulu Live (the biggest chunk of your subscription goes directly to ABC’s parent company Disney).
“Cancel any planned trips to Disney’s theme parks. Halt any purchases of Disney memorabilia. Try to do these cancelations over the phone or chat. Tell them it’s because you don’t want any of your money going to the Disney corporation so long as Kimmel is off the air.
“If you live near a Disney Store or the Disney Parks or a Disney/ABC corporate office, organize a group of friends to picket in front of the building/property and encourage employees to consider calling in sick (don’t be mean to them though, they may be in a tough place).”
