[Disneyland1084]

Disney and Universal drop him? Rumor has it a couple of other Disney bloggers kept complaining about him. If true, do you know which ones did?

Isn't there a whole gossip "Tattle" site devoted to this kind of this discussion?

RUMOR not worth repeating.

A whole community did complain about some things they have done in the past, and ongoing. The theme park community is a big group in Orlando, and they self police. In the end Disney and Universal are the only ones who know why, and I doubt it was anything a couple of bloggers might have said. It makes a good story though.

I was watching another "blogger/vlogger/social media" person just yesterday who brought up that the T's haven't been invited. They also listed several big sites no longer invited as well as about 6+ other smaller blogger sites no longer invited. They said their perspective is that Disney at least, is overhauling their media list and one thing they are doing it actively seek out diverse and minority bloggers that can introduce them to other communities. He said that many of the recent folks left off the list are your couples, husband and wife Disney duos that may have a following, but doing the same old same old AND their viewers are already park guests. They don't need any PR from these folks, and they aren't bringing any new perspectives to the business. They were quite pleased at a recent event they attended to see all the different folks that were there, fresh faces. With Disney really pushing their inclusivity, I can certainly see them making a move towards a different PR model.

I enjoy the Tracker's channel, but this is actually really nice to hear. The Trackers can afford not to be on the list, but other channels may not.

Does it matter?

Shouldn’t it? Someone is doing something pretty wrong

 

[Donald13]

Why are people so protective of them?? I don’t get it.

 

[Karin1984]

I mean, what if I tell you: "Youtubers x, y and z, reported Tim Tracker to Disney and Universal."

Then what?

The only thing you can do is stop watching them and stop supporting them. Or if you believe what they did was right, go support them.

And then that is it.

 

[mefordis]

I wonder who complained about them so many times that they got dropped by two companies? I'll still watch them.

These guys do a good job of covering this:

I can’t help but think of the irony though…the company that made songs of the south are removing Jen and Tim culturally insensitive videos they acknowledged and apologized for.

On the other hand, how could a company that is spemding billions to retheme a ride due to it including an animatronic bunny who seven decades ago appeared briefly in a movie that is now widely viewed as racially offensive, continue to have a relationship with a couple who have a much more recent record of spouting racist and homophobic remarks?

10 years ago?

 

[Marymouse1234]

10 years ago?

It wasn’t by any means recent

 

[GoingSince1990]

10 years is “much more recent” than 75 years, no? (“Song of the South” was released in 1946).

I havent seen the video itself, but what I get from the comments in the other thread is that Jen apologized because she was made to apologize, that there was no true intention behind it. That's what irks people.

They made the apology some time ago but if that’s the case it would be very sad

That's a good point. And if other vloggers were removed sounds like Disney may be taking the opportunity to bring in a new type of vlogger. It doesn't have to mean those removed did something egregious. Could just be circle of life at play

It is probably a combination of both. Some people reported them. Disney was working on remodelling their influencer marketing. If you have start to make a list of who is in and who is out, you need some criteria. One criteria can be: No controversies over sensitive topics.
