>Disney Fairytale Weddings have been a thing since the 1990s. Disney already had a huge honeymoon market and decided to go for weddings. Thousands if not millions have married or honeymooned at a Disney park or on a cruise. What does this have to do with religion?
>Many of the Disney fans I have observed in person and online find immense meaning in the parks. People don't just marry at Disney. They mourn lost relatives at Disney. They go to Disney to celebrate surviving cancer. They go there for one last trip before they die.
>Religion is a way of making meaning in the world through stories and rituals. It is about a network of relationships with the human and non-human (@RobertOrsi1 very paraphrased). It is about making homes and confronting suffering (@tomtwe loosely paraphrased).
>All of this happens at Disney. Cast members literally welcome you "home."
>Is this capitalism? Sure it is. Is it also at least quasi-religious? Yes. (And by the way, most religions are intertwined with capitalism. Just ask one of the founders of sociology, Max Weber).
>Disney owns our stories. For some people-- both those who have another "traditional" religion and those who don't-- the promise of magic at Disney and the feelings they get there are powerful. I've seen people cry at the fireworks. Many times.
>(Incidentally, the latest firework show goes "The magic is calling-- answer the call!" an altar call if ever there was one.
>Would I want to go to a wedding with no food because the bride and groom wanted photos with Mickey? No, no I would not. But when they say Disney is a big part of their lives I take that seriously. Maybe they met there. Maybe the IDEAS the Mouse stands for bring them joy.
>Maybe it's the only place their parents ever acted happy. Or, yeah, maybe they are selfish. But if we measure religion not by its truth-claims-- because we CAN'T assess those unless we have something much more powerful than a Ph.D-- but by its power in people's lives, then Disney is as much a religion as anything. It is at the very least a site of meaning and human fellowship, even you hate it. Dismissing it because it's "kid stuff" is demeaning to children, who are themselves discerning humans.
>This couple left their guests hungry and it was, perhaps, unwise and lacking in guest/host hospitality-- as @tressiemcphd pointed out, they broke a social contract in a public way-- but it hurt ONLY their guests. I can think of a ton of people in hurting a lot more Americans.
>It's late capitalism on steroids but so are a million other things.
>So stop pathologizing other people's joy. There's little enough of it in this world. /fin #NotAllDisneyAdults #AmRel #AcRel
What’s the point of wasting money and hiring two random strangers in suits to your wedding?
They aren’t the actual characters. Just random people in costumes.
>stop pathologizing other people's joy.
No.
lmfao that's pretty funny
Lol their "heroes" are dead terrorists.
you guys are morons missing the bigger picture. A fricking islamic desert theocracy has folk heroes and idols. The biggest empire in the free world doesn't. What does that say about us?
How are you supposed to have folk heroes when you'ce only existed for 200 years?
> no heroes
The Founding Fathers were literally among the greatest minds of their time. What other heroes do you even need?
>goatfricking sandBlack folk have heroes
And they all stink of goat rape just like the rest of them.
>heroes from over a decade and half ago
Lmfao. Your real life heroes were all either murdered by your own government or turned out to be fricking israelite rats. Pathetic
Meant to say century instead of decade
frick you're a dumbass lmao
I'm not even american but you're a dipshit. Why would it matter how long ago someone did something in regards to their heroism?
>Muh plantation owners who didn't want to pay taxes or help shoulder the burden of the French-Indiab war are great minds and heroic
Do Americans really believe this shit?
>America has no folk heroes
>Who is Uncle Ted?
>What is the Kill Dozer?
>What is Waco and Ruby Ridge
>Ironically who is Kyle Rittenhouse?
So it seems the only difference between psychopath and folk hero is time.
It's a great question Anon as to what becomes a folk tale or a folk hero, for America, a nation forged in its national myth is that they fought against tyranny from what was then their government for ultimate freedom, folk heroes in this regard will likewise be cut from a similar cloth.

Did you... misread "stature" as "statue". Typical CHUD
>Dismissing it because it's "kid stuff" is demeaning to children, who are themselves discerning humans.
Gee, I sure hope that isn't foreshadowing some really fricked up agenda.
>because we CAN'T assess those unless we have something much more powerful than a Ph.D
I have a pretty huge dick and that’s all I ever needed to evaluate truth claims. This is why women shouldn’t be allowed into academia.

So, what she's saying is that they're incapable of acheiving true happiness without Disney in their lives? I guess the memes were true; Disney fans are literally a cult.
Being able to achieve happiness in your own life isn’t something everyone is capable of doing. Do you truly have no crutch of your own? If you don’t, why mock those that do?
>why mock those that do?
Because they deserve it. They're corporate cuckolds & freaks. Needing a crutch to justify happiness in anything is an evolutionary weakness in humanity, and I personally despise those who cling to such superfluous frivolities; I don't view them as human, but as vermin who need to be removed. I think the world would be better off without these """people""" tbh.
Found the guy who never got invited to a wedding.
The new WEF article just dropped, they just said you don't need to be happy or have anything meaningful to live a good life.
"I recognize his talent, but it has always seemed to me hopelessly corrupted. Though in most of the ‘pictures’ proceeding from his studios there are admirable or charming passages, the effect of all of them is to me disgusting. Some have given me nause." - Tolkien on Walt Disney, 1964
So Tolkien was pretty much the Miyazaki of his day.
An entire generation of people were raised ENTIRELY on disney films with no knowledge of more traditional heroic tales
Based.
>a modern set of social practices characterizing disney adults is in some ways similar to precapitalist religious cults
Thats literally all he is saying of any substance here, it does not follow that we must therefore be respectful of them. Also Max Weber who he references here was talking about capitalisms unifying effects over culture, replacing genuine cultures formed in small units with the homogeneous universal model of capitalism. To use Weber here as an example of sociologist takes onreligion is so fricking stupid
Insulting corporations like disney, apple and Amazon will soon be a hate crime
You think it will stop at corporations? These new "hate speech" laws will extend to marketers and advertisers as well.
"Soon" meaning when?

That's the real reason youtube got rid of viable dislike counts (unless you have a browser addon), companies were crying about people mass disliking their videos, they didn't care about idiology or bullying or anything it's all about the money

based moron still thinking it's about money
I thought it was because Biden got the worst like ratios of any other presidential uploader
You are a fool if you believe this. The people in power have more money than you could spend in a hundred thousand lifetimes. They make the money.
You get cancelled by media if you are high profile and criticize any of these things.
You basically get slowly executed if you do publicly now anyways. If you do it have fun getting a job that won't eventually break your back, give you work life balance or has any semblance of comfort. It's how they keep people in line.
Have you actually spoken to younger people? Maaaaany people are beginning to hate big corporations

not everywhere, but in certain areas unfortunately it is true
on the other hand there is a case to be made for a connection between disney and religion, however not on the level this homosexual hack was describing
most older disney films (nothing of nu-disney, like frozen or encanto or whatever shit they are peddling now) like ariel, beaut & beast, cinderella are based on fairy tales which are deeply moral stories in a very similar fashion to the stories we find in the bible
so i would agree that (older) disney movies have "religious" motives insofar as "religious" is just a collective term for stories that try to teach the everyday man about philosophy, morals and ethics in a way that he can understand
it has nothing to do with disneyworld and being homierdly at your wedding however

>Corporate worship is a religion
Duh. That's why they should be made fun of.
Worshipping cartoon characters is not ok
we're in the sneedgame now
>instead of paying for catering, decide to waste money on two dudes dressed as cartoon rats
Is this a fetish thing?
I worked at Disney World, they're very likely girls dresses as cartoon rats. They have a maximum height of like 5'2 for Mickey and Minnie
Did you ever smell the costumes after they spent hours in them outside in the florida sun? God pontificate those musky aromas
Don’t care, still going to enjoy going to Disney World.
I always find the craziest shit on Cinemaphile
>Americans worship cartoon rats
It being a religion is one of the primary reasons we mock them.
This. The ~~*professor*~~ is pretty much saying "people literally worship a corporation and here's why that's a good thing."
My sister loves Disney and even she never did anything like this for her wedding.
This is legit mental illness.
I have never been to a Disney park.
Sucks to be you chucklehead
>And by the way, most religions are intertwined with capitalism. Just ask one of the founders of sociology, Max Weber

>everyone picks on Christians because that's ok though, right?
You ever think Walt would be ashamed of the beast he created?
Of course he would. He hated israelites, didn't he?
No. Claims that Walt Disney was anti-semitic were brought about by the US communist party after Walt spoke out against them in the 40s.
No, this is what he wanted. He wanted to be king of his own closed city. He was shocked when anyone thought of themselves before his vision.
>skydaddy is on par with mousedaddy

not to mention the parents gave them a certain amount for catering and instead they squandered it and made all of their guests suffer

I israelitegled the plebbit post and according to the mods there, it's a fake story
Has to be fake. How the hell does two people in dress up cost the same as the catering + open bar?
What does Disney have to do with religion?
Decadent, depraved, tawdry. It's a marriage not a 5yo's birthday party.

>denying food to your guests at a wedding
>paying literal thousands for a thirty minute quick photo op with two dudes in costumes

what the shit, fukken furries I swear
How many ppl probably gave them wedding gifts when they arrived and were treated with no food or drink. Lmao, how do "disney adults" have friends?
>Lmao, how do "disney adults" have friends?
They don't.
they chose rats over food for their guests
frick these people
It's their wedding and entertainment/shows/picture lines comes included with the costumers.
Yank "adults" really are giant fat children
couldn't they just rent some costumes themselves and ask a cousin or something to dress for the photo??
I'm sure they could have found a couple guests willing to do that if it meant getting to enjoy food at a wedding.
Disney isn't gonna allow Times Square-tier bootleg costumed characters at their wedding venues and cosplaying outside of Halloween parties is banned.
I'd say "Just request characters nobody gives a frick about like the ones from early 2000s flops", but I imagine Disney would charge more for the trouble of digging them out of storage like that Disney Cruise Line wedding that managed to get the rare Kingdom Hearts variants of Donald and Goofy.
Kek they deleted the original post.

>Eichler-Levine
>because it's a Religion
What's wrong with mocking religions? Religions are, by definition, moronic.
The fact he'd compare this to religion seems like he is absolutely dabbing on religion himself
yeah men cutting their wieners off to become women is the sane secularism we need as a society
>needs a made up skydaddy to understand trannies are insane
Maybe religion would be good for the moronic masses, I guess
Go tell that to 84% of your reddit friends lmfao
>shutup reddit!
Damn, you sure got me guess I believe in the Bible now
Nah I actually posted proof that your mental disease makes people more supporting of trannies. You’re free to cope however you want about that.
You showed correlation you brainlet.
Again, if a made up religion is what you need to justify objective truths, then you are a weak-minded slave
>atheist
>objective truth
there he goes being a self contradictory moron again
84% btw
"Objective truth" being that trannies are insane, you dumbass. My point is that I don't need my mom telling me God exists to know that.
Work on your reading comprehension.
My bad
what is “objective” insanity? and actually 84% of atheists DO need someone telling them it’s bad, since they don’t think it is
You keep pulling that 84% and I don't think you understand the difference between correlation and causation.
And for the record, I'm not your atheist bogeyman. Atheism necessitates the total belief in an absence of God. It's just ridiculous as any religion.
As I said, that may be, but is it wrong to expect more of man? To expect them to find these truths themselves and not through false deities? As far as I'm concerned, if religion is what you need to "free" you of the leftist mind rape, you're just trading one for another.
The correlation/ causation midwit phrase doesn’t even apply here though. That data is a description. I don’t need to prove atheism causes troony love, I just need to demonstrate the vast majority of atheists love trannies, and I have.
So what's the point/conclusion you've come to?
>a lot of atheists are gay!
Alright, cool I believe in God now. Because religiosity is based purely on politics I guess. That's how faith works.
You're the one who blew a gasket when you forced a conclusion out of it.
>people needed a sky daddy to tell them trannies are insane? Woe is me, the human race is doomed! How come they're not as enlightened as me! Now people will think I'm religious! Correlation/causation says so!
It's not about you, sweetie. Never was. But you sure are doing your damnedest making it about your own insecurity.
I'm not even sure what you're on about anymore. I just did my usual pop-in and call christgays moronic because you showed up again like you people do all over the board lately, and you started sperging with this idea that only religious people are capable of political sanity.
Where does my personal insecurity fit in there?
mathematically in the lowest 16% of atheists lmao
Why did you feel the need to respond to him for calling your fedora tipping friends troony lovers lol
>Maybe religion would be good for the moronic masses, I guess
That's what it was made for, dumb moron.
No shit, Sherlock. If your average idiot isn’t aspiring to godliness, they’re only aspiring to be like the other morons surrounding them. Religion is an absolute necessity in a functioning society. Otherwise, these clowns just worship corporations and politicians.
>not far enough
Good thing western society will collapse before it becomes too atheist and trannies are half of the cabinet
>implying christhomosexualry is some kind of bulwark
troonyism/Intersectionalism is a religion in itself
How can you go to a wedding and there is no food. These people would unironically have been killed if this took place anywhere else.
>can insult christians all you want
>can’t insult capitalism/ capeshit worshippers
Christians are quite moronic so it makes sense
capeshit manchild spotted
Every capeshit guzzling manchild is an atheist, this is just the classic fedora cope. Whenever atheists act like embarrassing infantile morons they’re actually “religious” so atheism can never be responsible for anything bad. Same shit when they call communism a religion, they want to wash their hands of the nightmare their own beliefs engender.
Amerimutts' obsession with Disney and Disney World in particular really is something else
t. homosexual that cries about people shit-talking Disney and calls them "incels" in other threads.
I appreciate the effort and skill that went into creating what is probably the best crafted theme park in the world. I wouldn't say it moves me emotionally or that I care for every decision they made

A religion does not stop being a religion just because it abandoned the divine god in favour of a mundane one you actual fricking mouthbreathers.
To be fair, all of twitter is burying this moronic professor. Also, apparently "Disney Adults" are a subgroup that I wasn't aware of until now. All filth must be cleansed. All rot must be purged. Blood for the blood God. Skulls for the skull throne. We are the living Church of Christ. All who threaten our way of life will be immolated in the fires of purification.
>expressing your hatred for consooming disney adults by using the framing and language of a fictional universe created to sell toy soldiers to adult children
Something about those without sin casting the first stone...
>i'm not a christian and you are, yet here is a line from the book I didn't read about the religion I don't believe in, how curious indeed.
Well you got me there champ. Game over for me. You must be so proud.
Maybe the Christians were right
It's only this type of person, this type of drooling fricking idiot, who would wonder why "not having food at a wedding" might rub some people the wrong way
The type of people to have a fricking disney themed wedding are the exact type of people who would lack fundamental social awareness and protocol
Is it true Disney is tax exempt in Florida? Is the Mouse recognized as a religion there?
atheists are full on society suicide. probably part of the natural life cycle of civilisations, they’re sort of like maggots on a rotting carcass. they multiply the worse shit gets
LMAO
i was wrong about christians,they are fricking based wtf
>non practicing christians
So, what, and athiest that says they believe in hell?
Is renting out a Mickey and Minnie costume really as expensive as catering a wedding?
They probably wanted the official stamp-approved ones from actual Disney. Literal moronation.
it's over 4 grand

Look at America and tell me that's true.
Behind Turkey USA is the only place on earth where christianity is actually on the rise instead of declining, ots the only developwd nation where you cant properly teach Darwins theory, all its leaders are proud christians, all the media you shit out to the rest of us is full of moralistic christgay shit

What ideas? This is what baffles me about the whole Disney obsession, I see literally nothing of substance for a grown adult to contend with, I don't know how you live this shit day in and day out without getting sick of it, it's the cultural equivalent of trying to live off of nothing but pop tarts
i think its normie version of diaper and baby fetish, wanting to become a child again

Is their wedding they should do whatever they want no matter how moronic, the guests's opinion is irrelevant
Weddings are usually fricking expensive formal moronic boring ass garbage anyway
Based professor. These losers have no religion. No greater meaning or purpose. They look to children's cartoons and latch on as if they are anything more than something to keep young children entertained. I hate these people. Complete and total failures
tbh I'd blow a wedding budget if I could get Officer Megan to give me a lap dance at the Bachelor party
do people actually like going to weddings?
i thought the deal was you come to my shitty event and i will feed you for the evening
that is literally exactly what it's supposed to be, you left out the part where the gift should be roughly equal to the cost to host you, but yeah
i suppose it's a product of the narcissist generation
they think they are bestowing some wonderful gift to you to be in their presence watching their disney larp in real time
I make fun of real religions all the time. Even ones I actually respect, like Christianity which is to thank for the basic moral code and lifestyle that shaped the western(white) world into literally the best places to live in the world. Why wouldn't i make fun of fake religions too?
Imagine having the absolute need of state your career as if it would make your opinion valid to illeterate internet Black person lovers.
>one cumulative mousehour cost the same as catering a wedding
what is the deal with these mice
>Eichler-Levine
Do these people not understand how weddings work? You're guests don't get you a gift and come to your ceremony because they want to see you. They want the food, cake, and booze. Its incredibly selfish to have a wedding like this.
What kind of Mickey Mouse operation is this
Bump
israelite defends corporate worship
Truly shocking
How much is a Mickey Mouse appearance? Can't you just buy a Mickey Mouse costume for like 30 quid and get one of your mates to wear it for half an hour?
$2500 for 30 minutes. And to answer your seconds question, Disney probably wouldn't allow it if you're doing the wedding on their property.
They paid $2750 for the appearance.
>Professor says not to Mock Disney Adults because it's a Religion
Yes, but all religions are mocked in America, except israelites, of course.
>Thousands if not millions have married or honeymooned at a Disney park or on a cruise.
Millions, OP? Millions?
6 million, to be exact.
They give us theme park enthusiast chads a bad name so frick em. If you're past the age of 20 and geeking the frick out over another grown adult in a costume, genuinely have a nice day.
I just want to go really fast while upside-down and now I'm lumped in with these morons
>I just want to go really fast while upside-down
Then you're not going to Disney.
I still enjoy the disney dark rides and some of their more soulful classic attractions. I just fricking despise the losers that want to live there and get autistically pissed off when you "break the magic". It's a goddamn theme park. You wait in a line, you sit in a thing, they throw you around and flash lights in your face, then you walk out through the gift shop and your dad scoffs at how expensive all the merch is and says "we can get that at target for half price!"
There's no magic.
The soulful classic dark rides and fake mountains are the magic. If regional parks made that the focus of their wars instead of rollercoaster drop height dick measuring contests, Disney and Universal wouldn't stand out as much.
I mean magic as Disney adults define it which is "pretend the character in the costume is real" and demanding the minimum wage staff address you in character
Suit characters make more than minimum wage.
I mean the ride attendants or even food service or janitors
Characters kayfabe is company policy, not just a fandom thing. Like Cast Members are instructed to never say "I wear the Goofy suit at Disneyland", but rather say "I am Good Friends with Goofy"
>Characters kayfabe is company policy, not just a fandom thing.
It's a company thing because the fanbase is highly autistic. Have you ever met a disney family?
It predates it, but it's mostly for the kids. Also a lot of their policies are now the meta for customer service
This guy gets it. Pisses me off when I go to a theme park and there's a brown roller coaster in a concrete pit with 3 wooden barrels thrown in there and they're like "this is the pirate ride". Try harder you lazy frickers
When I was like 6 some of those fricking homosexualS with the instruments in those stupid ass outfits started shit talking me like for real they called me fat and I never forgot it so as an adult I found the first one I could and trapped him in my maze
In a way this is true, because spending any time in a Disney park is the closest you can come to experiencing hell on earth.
Starting with sweltering heat while you are waiting in the ticket line.
Should have visited the Tokyo one in the spring. Actually maybe it's the only Disney park that feels like some of the management decisions were made for improving guest experience
Man, I booked a week long Disney World trip for two later this year, staying at one of the nicer hotels, and that whole thing with airfare cost less than what they spent on an hour with two people in costumes.
I don't give a shit about the rest of the arguments, that's just dumb.
Unironically, atheists don't exist. They just replace religion with brand, company, movie, manga, singer, actor etc... etc...
>just change the definition of something and it'll be different
There's so much idiocy in that post, but I'll just ask when have people like that shown universal respect for all religions? Frick, ever since the bin-Salman incident and Netanyahu even israelites and Muslims have been getting disrespected. If they even want this argument to get off the ground they'll need to actually respect religious beliefs different than theirs.
Why don't poorgays still have potluck wedding receptions?
My whole family used to do that because we didn't have a pot to piss in, guests bring food and drink instead of some shitty 200 dollar blender as a gift.
Everybody gets fed and it doesn't put out two young people trying to get started in life a bunch of dough.
Because of wedding shows and posts probably im not sure
>Florida makes disney start paying taxes
>all of a sudden disney is declared a religion and gains tax-exempt status
Well played, Micky
Disney has always paid taxes in Florida, and the proposed legislation will likely cause residents of the area to pay more in taxes.
Frick disney groomers
Too long nerd, didn't read + reddit + OP homosexual + please I need a (you) poster + kys
This is just straight up disturbing.
Somewhere, Nietzsche is spinning in this grave, because this is exactly what he meant by "God is dead." It's not some "Christians owned epic style by facts and logic" phrase like people like to imply, but rather a lamentation that a important source of meaning is now gone and that people will fill the void with trivialities. It's "Oh frick, God is dead, our humanity is going with it." And now people worship Disney.
That's not what he meant at all.
What "Der tolle Mensch" lamented with the god is dead shtick was that most of humanity is too stupid and small brained to carve their own path as individuals.
You on the other hand make it sound as if the point was that the death of god and religion is a bad thing and abandonment of what Nietzsche literally called slave morality is bad for humanities development into a better man, which could not be further from what he intended.
>Is this capitalism? Sure it is. Is it also at least quasi-religious? Yes.
This professor is making no case in favor of Disney whatsoever. Why should I avoid "pathologizing" religious zealots? So they don't feel bad? Frick off.
Came to post this.
So what the frick did the guests eat? I would have snuffed the fricking groom if I was there.
It's not stated but this is clearly a wedding happening at Disney World, so when they mention that there was "food available at the venue" they mean the guests could go to any of the nearby Disney World restaurants.
Must be on the original post beacause no where in the op does it say food at the venue. But God damn Disney are israelites if having mickey and Minnie show up to you're wedding when you're already at Disney world is as much as catering would be.
I'd take my gift back so fricking fast.
Disney has long taken the approach of milking those top 1% of fans for as much as possible to make the rest of the park experience more affordable for everyone else. I can't say I entirely disagree with the strategy.
Disney's gonna start doing funeral services in 30 years or so when all these millennials start dying off. You'll have to pay extra to get eulogized by Rey Skywalker.
I read that as "euthanized" at first lmfao
Literally the only redeeming feature about being dragged to a wedding on a saturday is the food
How is Mascot appearance the same price as Catering?
>spending money on a wedding
I don't understand this practice. I'm highly autistic, but to me, a wedding should be very, very private and personal. It's between you and your wife. You don't even need to have a 3rd party there to conduct the ritual. You and your wife should perform the ritual yourselves. Am I crazy?
Not crazy just autistic. Which is just as bad if not worse
Most people are extremely extraverted
I also believe that the man should forge the ring himself. A simple band of gold will do. It's not its monetary value so much as its symbolic value. The woman, ideally, would forge a ring for him too. Maybe you can even have the rings vary, one silver, one gold. None of this israeliteed diamond shit that you buy at the store.
one pair of rings to rule them all
so the families and friends can meet each other
weddings are some of the best places to meet people because of that
A marriage is an institution so the government knows which of its citizens are more likely to benefit the labor force.
Which is why gay marriage is such a joke on every level.
What you're describing is a Honeymoon.
Its a celebration of normative social values and a display of wealth. Its for competitive extroverts to one up each other, nothing more. Never get married anon and if you do write a prenuptial agreement, dont be dumb.
Majority of marriages end in divorce remember that. It isnt a social commonplace because it works its literal brainwashing into a miserable position

I dont watch cartoons but i know from absorbing the degenerate culture around me that you are trying to mock my points on marriage by comparing me to an atheist from a cartoon show. "Haha, owned"
Go get married then anon, lmk how it goes
>religion studies professor
top kek
Imagine majoring in & getting a PhD in what essentially amounts studies of nonexistent talltales utilized solely for fear-mongering and being fearful to begin with. What a homosexual.
>not having food at your wedding so you can instead having clowns show up for 30 minutes like it's a birthday party for 4 year olds
I refuse to believe that's real
He's right. People on Cinemaphile point fingers but they wouldn't last a week without Cinemaphile either.
I made it 25 years without Cinemaphile
>He's right. People on Cinemaphile point fingers but they wouldn't last a week without Cinemaphile either.
True.
>but they wouldn't last a week without Cinemaphile
Cinemaphile is pretty much the one and only vent for very real societal frustration. If the israelites are dumb enough to take it away, all of that weaponized autism has nowhere to go but outside into "polite" society.
An SNL skit where Larry David is invited to this wedding and gradually realizes food isnt coming and mickey mouse is where the budget went
NPC truly don’t deserve to live, have money or be happy. Worshipping corporations and being consoomers is antithesis to humanity.
What is the purpose of humanity?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamination of their women.
What makes you deserve those things?
The bad news is there's no food or drink at our wedding.
The good news is there's a pair of costumed cartoon rodents at our wedding!
NO open bra is fine. But no food at a wedding? wtf
>NO open bra is fine
Hard disagree
based
I was reading the story thinking to myself "This is fine as long as they had an open bar"
I never got the obsession with Disney/Marvel/Starwars and the other onions franchises growing up. I watched the movies and enjoyed them, but not to the point where I give a frick as an adult much less obsess over it like these people. Maybe being weaboo filled that hole in me instead, but otherwise I am completely confused at why people are so into this stuff.
These people have nothing else in their lives, so they latch onto fantasy to fill the void.
Because since 2007 with the big bang theory and the iphone,but became cool for normies and women to be "geeky".
Walt Disney was the first entertainment executive that actively sought out to forge a parasocial relationship with his audience through his TV show in the 50s and 60s and it basically cemented him as "America's Fun Uncle" in the eyes of the Baby Boomers. That legacy and history was cooked into the Disney brand pretty deeply and its how Disney was able to lure Jim Henson and George Lucas into their fold because they were both filmmakers that looked up to Uncle Walt and his movies and theme parks.
People act like the academic in OP is ridiculous for calling Disney Adults a religion, but academics have been calling the "Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen so he can take over again when the technology is there to revive him" myth the American version of "King Arthur sleeps until he is needed to save England from its darkest hour" or "Jesus's Second Coming" for fricking years.
This just highlights how pathetic Christianity and Islam are. Christgays are highlighted as being no different from fujos on Twitter shipping fictional characters.
>no food or alcohol at a wedding
Wtf?? That's just moronic. Even if it wasn't in your budget surely you could call some family members up and get people to bring stuff to eat/drink??
Girls always like Disney
Boys always like Looney Tunes / MGM Tex Avery kinos
What a fricking pseud
>my and my fiancee
>words words words
I'm not reading your schizo/troony/poltard thread op
>Yes. (And by the way, most religions are intertwined with capitalism. Just ask one of the founders of sociology, Max Weber)
but his argument was the other way around. capitalism is religious, not religion is capitalist.
we're literally moving towards some kind of fricked up dystopia where you can't criticize companies or their soi worshippers
Imagine seriously arguing that you shouldnt ridicule someones religion, I bet this guy loves talking about how evil christianity is though, i doubt he has much negative things to say about islam however
No, vast majority of humanities academics are christians. You cannot write negative shit about christianit in sociology and expecto be published. This is facts, its a deeply christian instituition
>Yes I'm a Professor and I think Disney should get religious status
Nothing strange here.
Before:
"Professor made a telephone out of coconuts!"
Now:
"Professor wrote a 300 page dissertation on nonbinary coconut oppression in a white male dominated post capitalist society!"
rated "All ages" or "(G)eneral Audience" means ALL AGES
Disdain for such media because they are non objectionable at any age is in itself childish.
>Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
>CS Lewis
Because religion is no longer cool, people who have the intrinsic need for religion have replaced it with brands or ideologies.
kek, even twitter has enough sense to relentlessly tear into this. Meanwhile the legit Disney Adults are acting like they're a marginalized group all of a sudden
>Disney tries to become a religion to get exempt from IP laws
Well they have their own vatican so...
>oh you want cake? TOO BAD YOU WATCH THESE COSTUMED STRANGERS PANTOMIME THEIR MARRIAGE VOWS
imagine paying upwards of 5 grand just to have two low level service workers in furry rat suits make a 30 minute appearance. why couldn't they just have their wedding at chuck e cheese, you don't have to pay extra for the rat to be at your party
Minnie is a mouse and you should show some respect.
>Is this capitalism? Sure it is. Is it also at least quasi-religious? Yes. (And by the way, most religions are intertwined with capitalism.
Religion predates capitalism by literally thousands of years
Jesus fricking christ I hate this fricking planet.
>imagine spending thousands so you can watch female midgets dressed up like mice and wait in 3 hour lines
>not getting for free at a minimum
