Disney probably doesn’t care if this argument holds in a court of law. If it does, jackpot, they now have a get out of jail free card due to case law. Their main objective is to wear down the plaintiff financially or mentally so that they drop the case.
Gen-X here. Millenials felt like our younger siblings. Gen-Z feel like our kids and our pride and joy. Gen-Alpha so far feels like that bad acid trip we had back in '91 about Garbage Pail Kids.
I feel like you might be out of the loop here. I want to help. “Chat, [statement or rhetorical question]” has become a meme slang, like millennials calling dogs anything but dogs (pupper, good boi, heckin floof, etc). It comes from Twitch, AFAICT, where streamers use this unironically (and ironically) to interact with their chat.
I’m not, it’s twitch streamer lingo, I know. Asking this how OP did, in a post, like people posting here are OP’s parasocial fans, is just immensely disrespectful. Why not just ask “Is this real?”
I’m not sure which came first, but in my friend group we often will use similar terminology in our group chats. “Hello chat, I just…” “Good morning chat, should I be concerned about…”
My name starts with Chat (real name too, but pronounced with Sh instead of a ch) and Chat/Chati are my nicknames. I know how Karens feel when memes use their names…
So Karens need to stop fucking whining, it ain’t that bad and some of us have been hearing people equate our name to shit since middle school and just chuckle.
I had a real Don Glover moment too where I had heard people replace the Chat with shit but didn’t realize telling the people hiring me they could just call me Shat would sound weird.
Boss later told me how weird it was explaing to the team that Shat would be joining the team soon.
So you’re telling me if you had a food allergy and you go on vacation, you would still go buy groceries and make your own meals?
Yes, there’s technically a risk for food allergies whenever you go to a restaurant, but never eating out means you miss out on a lot of life events. The doctor took precautions. They did exactly what they were supposed to. Any restaurant with a sense of food safety knows how important it is to not fuck it up, and clearly Disney skipped out on the food safety training.
If I had a vehicule so fast it could literally kill me, I would never drive it around other people knowing my life was potentially in the hands of some inexperienced driver who has not the slightest concern or knowledge regarding traffic laws.
I could find plenty other analogies, but you get the point… So many mundane everyday activities are life threatening in a way, you can’t blame people for living…
Asking the waiter for problematic ingredients and insisting on how severe your allergy is more than enough caution taken. The fault is entirely on the restaurant. If a blind person was run over after a nearby pedestrian ensured them that it was safe to cross the street, would you blame the blind person for leaving their house alone?
If SCOTUS sides with the corporation and if I were the binding arbitrator who had to see it afterwards, I would hit Disney with a whopper of a settlement out of pure disgust for this.
Yeah I think there’s a lot of people who aren’t getting this. It wasn’t an informed consent to danger form where the activity they knew was dangerous, and signed off on, killed them. This was a Terms of Service agreement you automatically agree to when you make a purchase. It’s supposed to govern the terms of using that purchase.
Man, I cant wait till the grand confluence of fascist sycophants foot-trolls and fascist sycophant appointees hit eachother and it all becomes apparent they are just …. oh wait that already is happening with gaz—-oh wait… oh wait. what? you mean Compan000s0sdf0sodjufhgah00y7ruouoobbel peu8rp;il
You’re correct. Imitating this sort of speech even outside of Twitch is essentially the meme. The joke is that streamers get so inebriated with talking to the chat that even when no chat exists in real-life they still reflectively reference it. This meme started on TikTok but it has spread into general Gen Z pop culture.
