As a fan, Marzec has been outspoken online about her disappointment with the corporations decisions in recent months, and plans to not post any content about the brand for now. However, she urges other Disney fans and creators to not give into infighting over the situation with Jimmy Kimmel and Disney. Everyone, she says, should be given the space to figure out how to handle the situation for themselves.
Everyone is coming to terms with it at different speeds, and the most important thing we can do right now is hold space for each other and be kind, she says.
Cuevas notes that in this space, Disney creators have more power and influence than some may expect. She wants to use her voice and platform to make a change.
With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks, she says. I couldnt, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they dont support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism. I had to make my stance clear and hope that this starts a movement and gets Disney to make some changes.

Doesn't matter. They'll just lie and say left wing groups were responsible without any evidence. They're good at lying
