The Last Jedi - Actually Widely Hated?

Neither of you have clearly watched reaction videos to YouTube videos. We could easily have a reaction video to the 5 hours of the complaining by complaining for ten hours! :D

To which then there’ll be a ten minute response saying how much you’ve wronged these people by complaining about complaining about their opinion. And you’ll be called an NPC or a SJW or something. And that they will not be silenced!

It’s the way of things. The way of the YouTube.

The way of people who imagine they could do better.

But don't.
 
Total wishful thinking. Its utilizing the NYT article as a basis, which the Screenrant article and again, @crookeddy ignores the actual context the original source takes. But, whatever, let's just go for sensationalism and writing and pushing poor journalism.

Because apparently that wins the internet these days.

Not just ignoring the context, but completely changing it. Screenrant makes Daisy Ridley's comment about crying when she heard JJ was coming back as a comment on Rian Johnson. The NYT article is talking about Colin Trevorrow at that point. That's not just poor journalism, it's dishonest.

Do you even read the stories you post links to?

A study by Morten Bay, a research fellow at USC's Annenberg School for Communication, examined social media and found "evidence of deliberate, organized political influence measures disguised as fan arguments" about "The Last Jedi," in much the way outside elements have sought to further polarize political discourse.

Yet as Wired senior editor Angela Watercutter noted after her own run-in with trolls, when some of those participating in a conversation -- real or digitally concocted -- are seemingly there just to stoke discord, "when it's impossible to know which sentiments are real and what motivates the people sharing them, discourse crumbles."
