the fact is, people have been making dog shit for a while now. And when people see the product and call it out for being dog shit, they resort to racism, sexism and bigotry as a reason why these "overweight Middle aged white men who dwell in basements" have a problem with it. Star Wars, Star Trek, lord of the rings, the wheel of time, marvel, ghostbusters. And its always the same thing, the onslaught of online "news" sites pushing the idea that people are all fecking horrible racist, sexist homophobes who wear white robes and burn crosses. The funny thing of course, is that every fecking time they get found out for causing the issue in the first place. Sony was caught red handed deleting run of the mill YouTube comments but leaving up the nasty sexist and racist ones to make it look more like there was some big attack happening. Amazon deleted thousands of comments on its YouTube channel. I wonder why? Thankfully though, they had the go to move of putting influencers in a shitty looking castle to tell us all how wrong we were for thinking it looked shit.
Here's red letter medias take on it. See if you can spot anything at all familiar...
Its quite simple formula thats repeatedly followed.
1. Put something out there that people don't like or have a problem with some artistic choices.
2. Accuse said people of racism, sexism or homophobia.
3. Delete and/or ignore comments of valid criticism and only focus on the very small number of cnuts the post nasty shit.
4. Profit from changing the narrative from your artist choice, or online trolls.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the rings, Marvel, Ghostbusters, The last of us Part 2, etc etc etc etc. The same thing every single time because people didnt like artistic choices that were made. And that means that any time someone says that they don't like something, they get pushed into that nasty little group of people that say horrible shit. And then you get people like you, posting low effort troll posts hoping to get a bite. Well, I bit. Congrats, I guess. I look forward to your dismissive rows of green laughing faces because we all know that will really get my goat...
I'm sure it's informative though!
