I’ve been following all of this news for the last few days (reading through everything here and on TL/ comments) and disappointed is putting it lightly.
I feel terrible for all of the victims involved in this. I cannot express how sorry I am that they had to go through any of this and didn’t feel like there was a way out. Thank you for coming forward and sharing your stories.
I also feel duped - I have been following the DIS for almost 14 years. I’m a huge podcast fan and while I never really was into the boards, I felt like this community was part of my life for almost 14 years now. That’s a long time and at this point it feels tainted and ruined.
I found the podcast while I was driving my 1 hr each way commute to work everyday. I have listened to every episode and even went back and listened to all the audio shows from the very beginning. It felt like it was part of my life and it’s odd to suddenly feel like everything was a giant lie and not what it seemed.
I regret supporting them financially through Patreon and affiliate income through

I guess this is just me trying to process everything and feeling very deceived. It also makes me sad that this is so closely associated with something that I love so much - Disney World.
Over the last 4 years Disney has slowly been souring for me just with all the changes they have made. And this seems to be more ontop of that - overall ruining the feelings I had for Disney that I’ve built over a lifetime.
Disappointed for sure.
