Disney Adults / Disneymania

[NoReturn]

I dunno, practical effects are still pretty cool, even when used alongside cheap-ass projection mapping.

This is a pretty neat concept with good execution.

I've become terrified of enjoying anything anymore because of this like this. I fell in love with the Disney parks on an aesthetic level around the turn of the millennium (I'm one of those nerds who can rattle off technical and effects trivia about how different gags are done on each ride), I was in theater for decades, I collect vinyl, I was a huge comic book nerd when I was younger, played D&D in middle school -- and every one of these joys has been pounded into a fine mist by insufferable childless AWFLs and their purse-puppy besties and soyfilled husbandsons. These fat, shrieking harpies have ruined something joyous and wonderful that should have been preserved for real families and kids at heart for generations, and now it's just one more money sponge for horrible white women and whatever their current sociopolitical shiny object happens to be. I am so tired of these ghoulish, nasty people ruining everything good and magical and happy about the world and I long for a real cultural fire (in Minecraft, and not literally) to exorcise these doughy demons from our pop cultural landscape once and for all.

This comes up in the "consoomers" thread on the regular basis, when people start asking "Am I a consoomer?" One guy even had a breakdown about it. Thing is, if what you love isn't negatively impacting your life then stop giving a fuck what others think of it. If you aren't spending all your money on plasticrap or going into debt for a weekend park trip, you're fine.
It's exactly what you're saying here: The people ruining these interests are a different breed from people who just enjoy them, but there's no fine line we can point to and say "That's where it starts." but you can tell when you see it.
It's like a gradient between two colors. You can't say exactly where one starts and one begins, but you can say for certain that there are two different colors on either end.

Holy cow! (literally). In the last two fatty videos the fatties can barely breathe as they complain about not being able to fit in things.

Trying to squeeze your elephantine ass into rides that don't fit you is extremely dangerous. Let us not forget the teen boy that was killed falling from a ride at another park. He was too fat for the ride and the operator attempted to get him in the seat anyway. I couldn't bear to watch the video. But it's apparently audibly gruesome.

If you keep making accommodations for people who sink freight elevators and have to be weighed at the zoo then you are just encouraging these piggies to keep getting bigger. The food vendors will profit but the rides will suffer. And if one of these obeasts dies in a fat induced ride accident fatphobia will be blamed.

The crazy thing about these videos is she clearly could fit into all the turnstiles if she just walked sideways and dealt with being uncomfortable for 0.5 seconds and she was able to ride everything without too much struggle. It's not like thrill parks where they have weight limits on rides and the lap bars on some rides are tight enough to be uncomfortable for a normal person

It's funny because they're fat pieces of shit

It is ever thus. There's people who like a glass of wine with dinner, and there's people who drank their daughter's college fund and now she's supporting the family as a prostitute.

You can see what he looks like in his "Handwich" video

What part? I see his lower half lol

I get some info about fat disney from this site.

Alright what would you consider qualifying disney adults? I lean towards just adults how blog, tweet, film themselves going to disney land/word several times a year and talk about "magical" it is.
But if your open to more kinds, there's a small rabbit hole of people how talk about the history/news of the parks and company.
Biggest one on the list is Defunctland (https://www.youtube.com/@Defunctland), They started off talking about the history of defunct rides and attractions at the disney parks and while they've later venture out to other topics in other amusement parks and forms of media, they still occasionally make hour long videos about Disney stuff like the almost 3rd park in Virginia, the history of the disney channel theme, and whether or not fastpass was shit.

I can make a quick list of people who kind of fall in the same vein and let other people decide if they should be included. I will admit to watching one or two so I might be biased, but while some are definitely be closer to being disney adults then others, IMO most kind of avoid it on the ground of making videos that are more detailed then random blogs about how great disney is and talk about other stuff outside of the rat house half the time

I really enjoy defunctland and yesterworld and would recommend them. Well researched and entertaining channels. I'm not a Disney person but the history is cool. https://www.youtube.com/@YesterworldEntertainment

Disney Adults seem to love spamming art sites like Deviantart and what not, posting memes, traced art, and (gag me) Disney recolors.

Who is the new cringe fandom to dethrone Sonic the Hedgehog? Disney, or Pokemon?

 

[Mr.Logistics]

Wasn't there fights at the Disney parks because of these retards? To the point Disney had to put out a statement asking patrons to be "kinder" to each other

Editing so I don't become a double post fag but aren't there the true crazies who try to birth at Disney parks so they can get a lifetime pass? Happened only ever once but people are trying.

A friend of mine has a great pithy phrase that I have adopted:
"Don't identify with what you consume."

Oh i've been waiting a long time for a thread like this.
been studying their behavior patterns for years now and infiltrated a server full of em. (middle aged women some with kids that are affixed to Disney)

If I don't make it, bury me not in the lone prairie..

Sort of an Update on my studies. I forgot to mention I was part of two servers, one on a film and the other for a fandom wiki. here’s a few screenshots of what conversations look like on both servers.

Warning: two of the photos are crudely drawn fanart from the minds of the mentally ill

saw the Star Wars Disney park awhile ago and it was kind of fun, but only if you have the money for it.
My little plastic Star Wars 13oz Coke bottle cost me six bucks I think, and they don't sell regular bottles in the Star Wars park.

Not gonna lie anytime I see those fuckin coke “bottles” I just see this

 

[GamerGateSurvivor]

I'm amazed we didn't get a thread on Disney Adults sooner. They're such an exceptional community that they've managed to spawn their own sub-group of exceptional individuals.


No I'm not fucking kidding. Disney Adults have their own wannabe gang members. Or as they like to call themselves, social clubs.

I thought Juggalos were the cringiest wannabe criminal gang group.

Thank you for proving me wrong.

That's what they're supposed to be. They're modeled after thermal detonator grenades from Star Wars.

Yes and it’s not just a handful of them but there’s a whole bunch of Disney adult parents trying to go into forced labor in various parts of the park. I’ll edit this (or just reply to this) if I can find the posts about it because I know there are planning groups. But Disney did actively have to tell people to stop trying to give birth in the parks.

Disney himself, or the company?

Disney himself had to deal with an empty bit of land (where the Matterhorn is now) becoming a "lovers lane." Worst case scenario, people were probably fucking there.

Lolcow Patrick Tomlinson bragging about not having the burden of children on his trip to Disney World

for those unaware, he has a 10yo biological daughter he abandoned and allegedly planned to murder after birth, according to sworn testimony by Pat's brother's wife to police.

This hit harder than you probably intended it to.


On that topic, though:

The soulless, dead eyes of this freak activated my fight or flight response

This thread was long overdue. I regularly encounter and know quite a few Disney adults on social media and in real life. I can confirm just how cancerous the Frozen and Encanto fandoms are despite not being in either because of how easy it is to witness their antics. I can always do a dump for those later. Frozen 2 was particularly hated by the fandom. The way they react to it, you'd think that Elsa herself froze their firstborn child and then smashed them into shards. Disney Adults not only consoom; they are serious business about their favorite properties themselves.

In the meantime, I will make a quick post about who was considered the quintessential Disney Adult twenty or so years ago.

"Disney Tattoo Guy" George Reiger found himself a minor internet celebrity after covering his skin with over two thousand Disney themed tats by 2010. This was not his only Disney related hobby. He had weddings at the parks, decorated his house with Disney merch, and visited every park on the planet multiple times over the years. Ripley's Believe It or Not profiled him in the 2000s because his obsession was that extreme.



Last I saw he was arrested in 2011 for beating his girlfriend and imprisoning her in their hotel room at Disney World. The happiest place on Earth, y'all!

 

[MadDisaster]

I always think of Disney Adults as having crossed the autistic line from enjoying something to that thing being their Special Interest with capital letters. Whether they have kids or not, Disney is grafted into their personality in an obsessive way. They have made it a cornerstone of their life and identity. Even if it's their job, they can be Disney Adults - look at the people who seriously aspire to be a "cast member" or particularly a costumed character.
