Part 3/12:
Following the show's cancellation, some woke activist fans and content creators launched efforts to rally support for the series' renewal. They gathered signatures—approximately 66,000—hoping to sway Disney, but that number is minuscule in the context of millions of potential viewers. The campaign was ultimately unsuccessful and did little to change the company's decision, which was grounded in poor viewership numbers.
This defeat only fueled those dissatisfied with the show's failure and led to a shift in their tactics. With no hope of restoring The Acolyte, these activist fans turned their attention elsewhere, targeting critics and content creators who dared to voice dissent.
