It now says the case “warrants a sensitive approach.”

Disney tried to force the case into arbitration by citing the agreement on the widower’s Disney Plus trial account.

Disney has now agreed that a wrongful death lawsuit should be decided in court following backlash for initially arguing the case belonged in arbitration because the grieving widower had once signed up for a Disney Plus trial.

“With such unique circumstances as the ones in this case, we believe this situation warrants a sensitive approach to expedite a resolution for the family who have experienced such a painful loss,” chairman of Disney experiences Josh D’Amaro said in a statement to The Verge. “As such, we’ve decided to waive our right to arbitration and have the matter proceed in court.”

    I met a shitposter from modern social media,
    Who asked with a frown, wrinkle lip
    And sneer of cold contempt:

    “Do you have some reason why you think
    This company with vast amounts of these
    stamped lifeless things
    Will go bankrupt and/or split up?”

    But regardless of all the corp-simping,
    In the future, only these words survive.

    "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away."

        Some kind of Stockholm syndrome i guess.

        This companies violates us constantly, but most people are so traumatised by ads and social presure that they don’t see it anymore.

        I put ads before social presure due to comedy, but also:

        Ads eats brains. Thus creating mindless consumers. Oh look, the perfect consumer!
