Don't Like It? Don't Go See It. Problem Solved
-
You know by now that Rotten Tomatoes has changed its rules to eliminate pre-release audience reviews to prevent trolls from trashing a movie's score before it's been released. You know that they did that to several movies and were starting to do it to "Captain Marvel," and the common denominator is that the movies feature either women or minority actors in the lead roles. The question is why the trolls are so upset by... well, no, it's a clear indicator that the fanboy trolls are who they are. It's just that in 2019, it's easier to be a misogynist, racist, anti-Semitic, xenophobic troll when you can do it easily, internationally, instantly, and anonymously. What's sad is that when I was working in the nerd culture world, everyone in it took pride in how inclusive and non-judgmental they were. And then reality set in. (New York Times)
