And also going on social media and talking about how Capitalism’s failed
Honestly, why can’t they just get by, with their acting talents instead of getting attention by doing stuff without anything to do with being good at producing entertainment?

It's within their nature as part of the entertainment industry. They must be attention whores.

Do they have to be attention whores that are commies?
Why can’t these narcissists go on about how good looking they are instead of how “compassionate” they are? Too obvious?

Disney executives are cutting their pay.

That's actually a respectable thing to do when your company is suffering financially, and shows that they really do care about keeping the business going for the long term; it's too bad most executives would never think to do something like that.

Now if only they actually handled their WOKEtivists right
Then again, I think those guys may actually be really cheap and sorta also paid by being allowed to keep on going on with their inane politics
Mass Effect 2 turned the Geth into misunderstood "Palestinians" oppressed by the "Jewish" Quarians.

Is that "Word of God"? If so, that's pretty stupid given that the Geth last I checked don't really even want Rannoch and the other Quarian worlds
It's not so much 'Word of God' as how strong in metaphor it is when played out in Mass Effect 3's Legion storyline. I mean at the time I didn't think Israel v. Palestine but if told, there are some strong resemblances and parallels or with general slavery-revolution type of storylines.
It just seemed awkward to me as a storyline overall and this is despite me thinking that Legion was a very likable character in a game series that had lots of interesting and likable characters. It's been so long since I played it, but the Geth backstory just didn't seem to gel with how the Geth were presented right up to that point. It's really hard to engage in 'restrained' or 'inadvertent' near genocide of a people like the Geth did with the Quarians but that's how Mass Effect 3 tried to lay it out as.
They just killed all of the Quarians until they left and it just so happened all of the pro-Geth Quarians somehow died in the conflict. And while the Geth are considered a threat to all of civilized space and extremely xenophobic and own swaths of space, they're not expansionistic or militaristic until the Reapers made them bad or something.

Contrary to all those Mass Effect bashfics that call the Citadel Races to be unreasonable bigots in-regards to AI
I can see why people’d be so wary of AI after the Geth who also as you said, seemed to have also gotten any pro-Geth members killed and decided to stay in former Quarian space and stay silent mysteriously for lifetimes
The isolation itself would already really fucking creep people out, but when knowing their bloody history, makes you feel paranoid as to what they could be planning later

I’m of the belief that in-regards to problems that people ignore and/or lie to others and themselves about, things will get worse before they get better
Maybe
If Disney survives and becomes determined to keep on doing so, they will remember to treat their customers right and not put all their eggs in such a way that they lose so much
I can only hope the otakus choose to let the industry burn if that's the case.

They can buy other stuff that caters to them
The moment that they do a Carl Manvers redesign for a character like Neptune/Purple Heart will be when the music stops
