by The other day I wanted to post a film review on Netflix but I was blocked. The explanation was that Netflix would no longer allow the public to post reviews on their website due to a lack of interest. The actual wording was:
“You can no longer post reviews on Netflix.
Netflix customers were able to leave reviews on Netflix.com until mid-2018, when reviews were removed due to declining use.
To learn how Netflix suggests TV shows and movies we think you’ll love, visit our Ratings & Recommendations article.”
This is nonsense. The truth is many of the reviews were getting hostile towards the “social justice warrior” and “political correct” content that are in most films and TV shows. I’ve read many of these pissed-off reviews and I posted a few myself.
But that’s a no-no. You have to love the progressive, liberal narrative or you’re goin’ to be censored.
I did a Google search to see if I can find any news on why Netflix removed their review section. My guess was right: Negative reviews = “trolls.”
The use of “review bombing” by trolls in search of new battlefields for their cultural warfare is also a problem. That’s what happened to comedian Amy Schumer’s Netflix special last year — just before the company switched from stars to a simpler thumb up/down system — while recent releases like The Last Jedi show similarly suspicious trends.
Earlier this year, Rotten Tomatoes censored all audience reviews for the film “Black Panther.”
“Now, targeting another Disney film with a notably diverse cast, the group launched the Facebook event “Give Black Panther A Rotten Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes,” which drew only a few thousand members. But then the review-aggregation site, perhaps trying to get ahead of criticism this time around, issued a statement, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
We at Rotten Tomatoes are proud to have become a platform for passionate fans to debate and discuss entertainment and we take that responsibility seriously,” the site said Thursday in a statement. “While we respect our fans’ diverse opinions, we do not condone hate speech. Our team of security, network and social experts continue to closely monitor our platforms and any users who engage in such activities will be blocked from our site and their comments removed as quickly as possible.”
The Facebook group has since been deactivated.
“Last Jedi” garnered a 91 percent “fresh” rating among professional critics but only a 48 percent audience score— an unprecedented disparity for Star Wars films. It’s impossible to know whether the purported attack had an effect. Writer-director Rian Johnson’s “Jedi” did endure critiques about plotting, character arcs and perceived deviations from franchise tradition.
Professional critics don’t know everything, or even have particularly good taste. The old saying the customer is always right is still true. Movie goers don’t have to like what the critics like. I’m not a Star Wars fan, and the “Last Jedi” did suck, and I didn’t see “Black Panther.”
In May 2018, Netflix hired Barak Obama and his wife, Michele, to produce content for Netflix’s streaming service. Obama claims he doesn’t intend to fight against conservatives, but pursue ideas he pushed during his administration. In other words, his own bias, and leftist agenda. Netflix’s conservative customers weren’t happy. Many protested and cancelled their subscription.
“More political crap from Netflix,”
[another] Twitter user wrote. “Many will cancel their subscriptions. Hope it was worth it.”
I’m sure Netflix couldn’t care less.
Hollywood and the Media have always been used as a tool for social engineering. And they are willing to put their SJW-agenda over profits. Hollywood doesn’t care they’ve ruined your favorite childhood film or comic book character. They’re on a mission to control and manipulate your mind, and if you don’t like it, tough titties.
