they dropped him now because they don't want to be associated with someone that's under fire for being a neo-national socialist or w/e. it wouldn't surprise me at all if they partner up again after this is all blown over
IkeTheGeneric:
It's quite interesting how fast they dropped him over one hitpiece. If I were a career youtuber right now, I'd be stuffting bricks over the precedence here.
otto-san:
yeah, i don't imagine it would've been so bad if it weren't for the current political climate. stakes are high right now

You're right, it's totally important, but the difference between showing actual history and making a joke is that different people have different senses of humor. History is a lot more objective. If a company doesn't like a joke and doesn't want to be associated with it, that's their perogative, and Felix himself even says he fully respects and understands that. Disney is definitely not in the wrong here.
EDIT: Making it a little more clear, darn me for staying up past 1 AM
