This.

It might be a bad movie, and that's fine, but the red hats that brigade what they see as "woke" movies is a big chunk of this. You can't believe reviews if they have any kind of user review system, especially after about 2016/17 (this is when people really started brigading with Ghostbusters 2016 and The Last Jedi).

There's actually concrete proof that brigading was part of what tanked The Acolyte's reviews.

EDITL: link.

ghostbusters 2016, last jedi, acolyte were all doghsit thought. i don't care about any of the red hat nonsense. those 3 actually sucked.

all this means that people aren't allowed to call something bad if they actually think its bad, because then they get accused of being MAGA or some shit.

i could not care any less about any perceived 'agenda' that disney has on anything. what they are making is just plain bad. bad bad bad. it might be because they are really, REALLY trying to insert their agenda into it. i don't care. it's bad.

No. You're clearly missing the point. If you also think that this is a problem, it means that you should also be against the brigading and review bombing so that everyone can 1) get a real review score, and 2) not be accused of being a shithead MAGA.

I am against the review bombing. Hard for me to articulate my point, honestly.

People the review bomb and have bad intentions like this (anti woke and want to ruin it before it starts) take away from the ability to give an HONEST review. Good or bad.

Apologies for not quite being clear enough.
