In many cases, there absolutely is reason more. Read less policed sites. Also use common sense.

So there you go… only you are the anointed ones that have opinions that are pure. Others, they are always suspect… based purely on your disagreement. Im talking about people’s actions here… not other sites.
You’ve shown your cards.

That’s not fair. Other people on this very site have said ugly things that were deleted. The fact that you didn’t see them doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. There’s a basis for the suspicion whether people want to acknowledge it or not.

then challenge the posts of those people.
Why are the opinions of someone completely different not respected simply because SOMEONE ELSE did something?
Do we not see the problem of judging people simply because their opinions overlap?

No, people are using the reasoning that some have acted that way, so it’s reasonable to act broadly and prejudge others. This is not wrong guy…’ situation — it’s a rationalization of behavior. Behavior even you have said shouldn’t be.

I haven’t seen anyone say that because some have acted badly it’s reasonable to prejudge others. It’s possible someone has, but if so that doesn’t make sense and is clearly wrong.
Again, if someone has been treated unfairly, it’s simple enough to just say so and clarify your opinion to alleviate misunderstanding.

So anyway if this opens similar to Encanto, that’s a disappointment, right?

The retort to pointing out the behavior was literally pointing to that the behavior was legitimate because of other people’s actions elsewhere in other situations.
“In many cases, there absolutely is reason more. Read less policed sites”
That is exactly what that kind of deflection is doing. It’s no different then saying a stereotype or prejudice is fine because it’s true for some people.
Which is why I called it out.

Ummm....no.
Actually there are some analysts saying it could happen and that it will be close… it is not really about how poor Wish is doing…Wish is still falling within projections… and I think will still succeed…it is more about Hunger Games having a much stronger hold then originally projected

The projections have continued to drop, and the current projections would’ve been a “worst case” scenario a week or two ago.
Two weeks ago it was projected to make $57-86M over the five day weekend.

Statistically that would be difficult for a a good movie
It seems this is a bad one…and yes consensus critical opinion will drag it down
It is what it is.

If you say you don’t like a particular film, and we ask why not, are you seeing that as a challenge? I would truly hope not.
And if you explain why not and your explanation raises more questions and we ask those questions, are you seeing that as a challenge? To me, these are just part of conversation about films.
And if your responses to these questions come across as vaguely similar to something bad people might say, would you prefer we not say so? Is that what you mean by challenge?
I’m trying to understand.
