CNet:
Review site Rotten Tomatoes is instituting some changes, leading many to believe it's responding to the recent controversy over the site's Captain Marvel page. But Paul Yanover, president of Fandango, which owns the site, told CNET that's not the whole story.
In case you were snapped away by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and thus missed the recent controversy, here's a recap. Captain Marvel doesn't come out until March 8, but users were already leaving negative comments about the film on Rotten Tomatoes, a process dubbed "review bombing." Many recent comments seemed to come from those who are angry at star Brie Larson.
The movie review site has removed users' ability to leave reviews or to indicate they are not interested in seeing a film [EDIT: before it comes out].

"The only thing worse than being talked about, is *not* being talked about".
I wouldn't put it past Marvel to have staged this for publicity.
Doesn't matter - I gonna see the movie no matter what anyone says.
Not sure I care enough to know if anyone else likes it...

That's a theory. [youtube.com] But why would Disney knowingly push gender politics into their biggest franchise after the Ghostbusters / Last Jedi backlash? And (as the linked video points out) if misogyny is the issue, why is the RT audience score for Alita at 94%? [rottentomatoes.com]

these themes being pushed by these propaganda firms are not the result of national identity politics. the national identity politics is part of the global plan for the NWO. an independent and self sufficient goyim/whitey is not part of that plan.

"an independent and self sufficient goyim/whitey is not part of that plan"
lolololol
Hopefully the more moderate Republicans around here are starting to see the forest for the trees. There hasn't been an "independent and self sufficient" person for a VERY long time. Try telling yourselves more lies to make you feel superior and persecuted! Sounds like you are a white supremacist that just HATES the multi-cultural aspect of the US.
