Hello frens,

As a great opponent of any form of IP, I have been following the event of Disney's Steamboat Willie entering the public domain with great amusement. The incidents where creators have been falsely demonetized on youtube for rightfully using this film is further underpinned by Disney's decades-long shameless practices. The linked article sums it up quite well I think.

Alternatively, not everyone is mired in the same shitty communities you've got beef with and maybe people can use cutesy language for no reason other than they enjoy it? Gatekeepy bullshit isn't in the fediverse spirit
