Calls to boycott ABC/Disney and Hulu ramped up Thursday in response to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
Viewers voiced their concerns over free speech censorship in the wake of Kimmel's suspension and responded to the company's decision online, sharing their thoughts via social media.
"Boycott Disney. Cancel your Hulu subscription. Cancel your Disney+ subscription," Keith Edwards wrote on Bluesky.
"Boycott abc and Disney now," user Ray wrote on Bluesky.
"When government intimidation and corporate cowardice meet, free speech dies. Boycott ABC and Disney until they stand up to Brendan Carr’s censorship," former U.S. Congressman Adam Kinzinger wrote on Bluesky.
"Boycott Disney/ABC," writer Maureen Langloss wrote on Bluesky.
"Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing," editor Wajahat Ali wrote on Bluesky.
"Boycott all Disney products," writer Allan Cerny shared on Bluesky.
"Gotta boycott Disney and punish their bootlicking," Edmond Dumas wrote on Bluesky.
"Boycott Disney like Tesla and Target," S D Wendt shared on Bluesky.
"The only way forward is to inflict as much financial AND publicity damage on Disney as possible as swiftly as possible. Cancel streaming subscriptions, boycott products, picket, encourage politicians and entertainment figures to shout about this from the housetops. Demonstrate the cost of cowardice," writer Mark Harris wrote on Bluesky.
"Everyone should cancel Disney plus and Hulu streaming right now, right after reading this. I also would boycott the movies and product and Disney visits until they turn this around. They can cave to fascism, we don’t have to," Mike Ragonna wrote on Bluesky.
"It's time to boycott Disney. Everything they own. All of it," user Tina wrote on Bluesky.
