Sometimes it feels like sabotage. They don’t seem to want queer stories to succeed. They’ll use them for their tax write offs.
I’d buy the sabotage angle, and maybe any reactionaries they create is something they consider a bonus? I just don’t understand their intent - it doesn’t seem to be about making money? Unless some of the people involved are just really that out of touch?
The other thing that I’ve noticed is that it’s very hard to tell what is a decent show/movie with things like The Acolyte from reviews, since there are obviously people that are leaping into the fray with a specific agenda, and probably more than a few paid shills - the critic rating is 72% while the all audience rating is 19%? That 72% number seems awfully high, but then 19% is probably due to the brigading of the butthurt “antiwoke” chuds upset that Disney “ruined their childhoods” or something…
I don’t know much about tax write offs or how they work, so I looked around and it seems like they have reduced their tax bill substantially from other shows…
