You can dismiss it. The whole tech sector is down since last week.It's fallen from $520 per share last Tuesday to $476 today, which is about the time this thing started picking up. That's 8%. I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on just today's activity. You might be right that this is nothing, but I don't think we've seen outcry like this before, so not sure we can just dismiss it because of what we've seen in the past.
Everything on cable tv seems to follow the same script. This goes for crime dramas, regular dramas, comedies, "reality tv"...almost no originality and very ho hum when compared to statings like FX, AMC, or any pay channel (HBO/STARZ/NETFLIX etc).It's nice to see people get upset about the garbage on cable tv. (I'm not being a smart ass when I say this.)
I still love it, but in all honesty the third movie was atrocious unless you were just a Karate Kid fanatic. I think the fourth movie was created to elevate the third one in all our minds.

Those shows are made for the masses. Premium TV and AMC/FX are for a different audience. You just can't put a slow burn on NBC. If it turned out to be Better Call Saul, then that's a win, but if it's anything less than that, they give up too much audience. People are tuning into NBC and TNT for generally lesser forms of entertainment (and that's OK).
I re-watch a lot of mass produced shows like NCIS, the mentalist, bones, etc when super bored at work. Its all the same crap.Those shows are made for the masses.

It is odd that this film sparked so much controversy. The subject matter makes me uncomfortable, but so does Dance Moms, and that has been going on for a decade. Good Boys is all about kids discussing sex. It appears this movie includes both suggestive dancing and kids discussing sex in order to make a point about the sexualization of kids. Dance Moms and Good Boys are purely for entertainment. How do they fly under the radar and Cuties is catching hell? Just seems like an ill-advised movie poster is the root of the problem (and misinformation, like people thinking the movie shows a child's breast).
Started on Twitter by a bunch of conservative talking heads who hadnt even watched a trailer. Bled into suburban white mom social media outrage. Again, none had actually watched it. I’m sure all those that were outraged are marching down to their local dance studios to protest the young girls being taught “provocative” dance moves and being over sexualized.
This was blowing up over the weekend but seems to be dying down now that some have actually watched it and realized its not the Pedo propaganda they heard about on social media.
But even if it was as offensive as they claimed, why call for all of Netflix to be cancelled? Have the movie pulled? Sure. Cancel the playform and call in the CEO to testify in Congress? Seems that the same voices crying about “cancel culture” were pretty quick to cancel something themselves.
Also, I’m guessing the majority that canceled were barely using it anyway. This was just their excuse to finally cut it off.
Truth be told I was close to canceling last year just because I was only watching 1 or 2 things a month. I switched to T-Mobile and it was included so I still have it.
