Disney deleted a Thread post because people kept posting anti-fascist quotes from its movies in the replies.

”Share a Disney quote that sums up how you’re feeling right now!”

That’s what Disney posted on Threads the other day, and people immediately replied with lines from Star Wars, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and even Mary Poppins. The throughline between all the quotes: they were pretty pointedly anti-fascist and clearly aimed at the current administration

    But don’t worry, someone recorded it for posterity.

    Link?

    (Was it in the article? I failed to find…)

    [With the help of an LLM] Here’s a few worthy quotes:

    [Edit: Thanks Susaga for pointing out the LLM lied. Hah. LLMs. Can’t trust 'em. Good lines, pity they’re not true quotes.]

    “To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world.” — Genie, Aladdin (1992)

    “You think you’re so clever, but you’re just a cowardly, backstabbing, murderous lizard!” — Simba, The Lion King (1994)

    “A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” — Zeus, Hercules (1997)

    “I won’t be a pawn in someone else’s game!” — Pinocchio, Pinocchio (1940)

    “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” — Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh (1966–1977)

    “I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing freedom.” — John Smith, Pocahontas (1995)

    “You can’t own a human being!” — Dr. David Q. Dawson, The Aristocats (1970)

      The LLM lied. Those aren’t quotes from Lion King, Pinocchio, Pocahontas, Aristocats, or Winnie the Pooh. (Christopher Robin did say that, but not in that specific movie. And it’s not particularly antifa either)

      Also, Dr Dawson isn’t from the Aristocats. He’s from Great Mouse Detective, and didn’t say the line there either.

        And it’s worse than that.

        Worse than just not needing them.

        They induce atrophy of the cognitive capacities, and mislead and addict and poison and and and…

      Amusing that that got a big boost of upvotes initially, and since being corrected, the downvotes have boosted past the upvotes.

      … Too many preferring the lies, and disliking the correction? XD

      How dare that be corrected! XD
