[QUOTE="Mind of tempest, post: 8704327, member: 7029233"] I am not dismissing all criticism as hateful as I am also a critic of it. I am merely I am dismissive of certain criticism for being from a place of blind irrationality. I am perfectly aware companies try to silence all criticism by painting it all as hateful, the problem being that they do genuinely have a problem with bigoted people in fandoms who are honestly what they describe and it is hard to get the proper criticism when you have thousands of bigots and troll who will wear the legitimate criticisms as a trojan horse to recruit more to their sick cult. hard to have a reasonable discussion when you have an excrement-flinging guy in the room if you catch my meaning. believe me, I am rather aware of the horrible people that recruit on the net as it is both my area of study and the fact I come from the same basic stock as them, me and them being reflections of each other it is not something I like. I do not doubt it but there are genuine bad actors who do honestly hate the film because it has female leads, companies will happily use the bigots as a shield from honest criticism and I hate them for it but companies are not exactly easy to do anything about and it is hard to come off as right when a whole bunch of jerks will use you as a shield for their horrible views. welcome to the modern world, there is a reason I believe we live in a dystopia.
