"maybe the ideals the mouse stands for bring them joy" is going to be rattling around in my head for a while. When I was younger the conversation around Disney was about how they would adapt stories with real meaning into empty calorie fluff, and now apparently there are religion professors researching how that empty calorie fluff gives people's lives meaning. What the gently caress.

Everything ultimately empty unless you put meaning into it. Sorry if that destroys your worldview if that’s important to you for whatever bizarre reason

"Maybe it's the only place their parents ever acted happy" is some theatre-level projection. gently caress this is an amazing thread to understand the broad American psychosis.

Hamlet's ok but have you seen The Lion King? I've never read any Greek mythology but I've seen Disney's Hercules so I get the gist. I love The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Who's Victor Hugo?

Maybe we should interpret her findings opposite to what she wants. Instead of raising Disney to the level of a religion, maybe it's bringing religion down the level of Disney. "Ugh, you got married in a church, presided over by a priest?! Gross, might as well have gotten married on Splash Mountain, officiated by B'rer Rabbit."

By this logic, movie theaters should be my favorite places on earth. The few times we went to movies as a kid were some of the few times I remember my parents not fighting.

I mean, I like Disney well enough and I'm in my mid-30's. The films tend to be fun, and I did the Epcot Food & Wine Festival a few years ago. It was an absolute blast, 100% recommend as an adult if you have the least amount of interest. Would totally have gone again since then but *gestures at the last two years*. But....Disney Adults man, on so many other levels. My girlfriend and I have a running joke that the more annual pass stickers a person has on their car, the crazier they almost certainly are (our record sighting so far is five). Also for those that didn't click to reveal, it comes out in some edits to the original reddit post that the Mouse Meal cost $2750 per 30 minute meal. There were two meals and no guests were invited to meet the characters. Vending machines were available though!

That lady loves to write about Disney quote:But when I say, “don’t pathologize Disney fans,” I’m getting at this really gendered “These are hysterical fans,” or “these are strange adults who are interested in children,” which just reeks of homophobia, as well.  quote:But now, in the midst of a global pandemic, as I watch Disney fans recreate It’s A Small World in their living rooms and Splash Mountain in their backyards (#HomeMadeDisney), I am reminded, instead, of Judaism, a tradition with a long history of reckoning with exile. The U.S. Disney parks have been closed since March 16. Even when they reopen, as Disney World is slated to do on July 11, they will not be the same: no fireworks, no parades, no hugs from the characters. Disney acolytes are figuring out how to rebuild their way of being during the loss of their center. They are not the first people to face this challenge. Disney fans today are like Judeans after the fall of the temple in Jerusalem. I could include more dumb passages from the article but this post would run too long. Guess who makes a lazy comparison between Disneyland and Mecca. Kevin DuBrow has a new favorite as of 02:05 on Jun 25, 2022 |

We went to Disney World on my family's dime a few years ago and it's super fun as an adult. Just got tipsy with my now-wife and enjoyed the theme park attractions, giant turkey legs, and genuinely decent to good restaurants and bars after dark. Weirdly international crowd too. That's right I said it, Disney World is fun.
