Disney has had many questionable content decisions over the years. I would not put them on a pedestal any more then Elon and Twitter

I'd definitely put them on a pedestal above X. No comparison.

No company is perfect, but what-about-isms trying to equate everything when someones preferred company is clearly deficient is just so lame.

I did not place them relatively, rather I stated that neither deserves any elevation. Are you assuming I have a preference for one of the companies? Certainly the parent of my comment has strong opinions about both

People are talking about the bad things both companies do in these threads, where do you see the whataboutism?

Not sure what your link has to do with any "questionable content decisions" Disney has made, but it's hilarious that her alternative is to let her child play Minecraft and watch YouTube instead of "Wizards of Waverly Place". Thank goodness she isn't exposed to the adult sarcasm of Disney tween content, just the wholesome world of YouTube!
