An alt-right Facebook group is attempting to sabotage Rotten Tomatoes ratings for Walt Disney Co.’s upcoming superhero movie “Black Panther.”
A Facebook page called “Down With Disney’s Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys” created an event called “Give Black Panther a Rotten Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes.”
Uh, you know it's a movie, right? And saying you MUST go see it is the same thing as saying you WON'T go see it. Just the other side of the coin. And ... Whether you go see it or not doesn't change the world.
Good grief.
Disney movies are horrible. The parents are always abusive or dead, someone always gets killed, the parents if alive are always stupid idiots at the 12 yr child has to educate, the boys -- if there are boy characters -- are mean and stupid and weak, the girls are brilliant and strong all while wearing skimpy, formfitting clothes that strippers would wear.
I would never let some radical group of any kind persuade me to see a movie or not. The alt-right group will not persuade me to watch this movie no more than the numerous racists comments regarding Dunkirk persuade me to watch or not watch it.
Viewing things due to advocacy reasons and not genuine interests does no one any good, and undermines any real attempt to generate short and long term interest in the subject because the data sets they received are skewed due to this advocacy. Look at US Women's Soccer for example, where they increased their attendance in 2015 not only due to the world cup, but because they were riding a wave of "we support women" from a large number of people who had zero interests in soccer, only viewed for advocacy, and of course those numbers dropped like a rock (over a 50% decrease) once this advocacy fad moved on to the next cause of the day.

Awful. Don't know why people like them so much.
In other words, what we have here are two authority-obsessed groups, with world-views which are polar-opposites -- each trying to make its viewpoint the accepted standard and to force it on all of us.
That scenario expresses a lot about what's frightening Western society a single sentence.
While I don't like how Disney has done things in the Star Wars movies, they've done a decent job with some of the Marvel ones. Some of them have become too campy, corny with forced humor, though. I think with this character they will do a good job, I hope.
Black Panter isn’t a “Disney Movie”, it’s a Marvel property.... your standard superhero flick. The character appeared in its first comic book in the 60s. Interestingly enough, it predates the activist group the Black Panthers by a few months.
I can’t believe these nimrods have nothing better to do. lol

Facebook has banned people and groups for much less. This seems suspicious
