#F in the chat for the DTVA Intern

[hkthatgffan]

the disney channel instagram page just made a very unfortunate error quoting a vine.

a vine that's a romantic thing.

but unfortunately they have it on images of Phineas and ferb, Dipper and Mabel, just basically any siblings that share a room or family that share a room together.

and it's still up. idk man i'm at a loss for words here, but this is most CERTAINLY not good. i'm just shocked that no one took the time to look up what it ment before they posted it.

lol, yeah. I saw that. As of answering this, the post has been deleted. But for anyone who missed out, this is what Disney TVA posted...

I will say, I myself didn't actually at first get the meaning given well...I wasn't on the internet that much when that Vine was viral or know the actual meaning till I saw a comment from someone explaining the context. Then of course I realized oh...yikes!

But that said, I'm just one guy and I'm of course not gonna know about every single specific thing. But if you work for a company like Disney TVA on their social media, you probably should have a clue about this type of stuff before posting it. I mean, even if the overall thing this means wasn't what it was, they're referencing a Vine from years ago and I doubt the demographic they're trying to appeal with this would know what that is. So, in every single way, Disney TVA royally fucked up here! This is both so fucked up yet also hilarious AF to think Disney of all companies is so incompetent that someone was able to approve of this being posted without anyone being like, "hey, maybe we should look at the context of this a bit more than just at face value."

Then again, I don't expect much from them anymore. As I said on Twitter, Disney TVA is ACTUAL ASS when it comes to PR. All they do is post low effort crap like this or run a poll on their IG stories and call it a day. There is no effort or originality in anything they do now. It's all corporate BS they think is trendy or what kids these days are probably interested in. Yeah right! And what sucks is that they used to be way better!

I mean, think about this; back in the day when Star Vs and DuckTales 2017 were airing and on Disney XD, that network's PR team did some actually good and creative PR for it. For example, they had originally animated shorts, stop motion projects, A COLLAB WITH MARSHMELLO AND DUCKTALES, and also a literal Instagram account that just posted the same Marco pic every day!

Hell, they did some solid PR for Gravity Falls too! There were some great things they made for the show and despite XD not being so popular, it felt a lot like the PR actually cared about the shows they promoted.

That's not to say though that Disney XD was always great at PR. They neglected a ton of shows like MIlo Murhphy's Law and I mean, they too had their stinkers when it came to PR like for example...

Yes...that's REAL (still better than what DTVA posted tbh though)! But they at least put more effort in overall and so, these bad ones were more forgivable. All Disney TVA does is get their intern to slap together a meme anyone could make using Imgflip and calling it a day!

I think that this screw up is an indication of a larger problem, which is that Disney TVA doesn't know how to promote its shows properly. Hell, Alex Hirsch did far more fucking PR for the Book of Bill using Oregon Parks than Disney TVA ever did for the show in all the years they've had their own social media page! Hell, DuckTales used to have its own Twitter account that did far better PR and don't forget, Gravity Falls had its own Tumblr page called @gravityfalls which on its own was pretty good at PR for its time.

It's pathetic honestly that Disney is like this. But it's all the more reason to call these horrible crap posts out! Whether they post something without getting the overall meaning of it, or the most low effort shit possible, these shows deserve better PR than this!
