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 objection is that SJW's hijack existing properties rather than creating their own.

    Oh, yes, those kind of Imaginary Properties.
    Cry me a river, I'll sing for you the world smallest violin. Here's the trailer: 🎻

    Play your violin for those thinking society cares about their regressive politics. We're the people telling you we don't care.

      If you didn't care what happened to me,
      And I didn't care for you,
      We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
      Occasionally glancing up through the rain.
      Wondering which of the buggars to blame
      And watching for...

      I reckon I can see some.
