The review bombing goes both ways.

Diverse casting is wielded as a shield against legitimate criticism.
If something sucks and is diverse, it will be criticized by racists (or sexists or whatever) but it will also be criticized by normal people *because it sucks.* Then, the defenders of the Thing will allege that the only POSSIBLE reason they could be getting negative feedback is because of the racists. Then, the people who don't like the Thing for legitimate reasons rightly bristle at being lumped in with the racists.
You notice that Black Panther didn't get review-bombed, right? Because Black Panther was freaking awesome. We're supposed to believe that all of these nerds who went nuts with love for Black Panther all of a sudden became racist overnight because they didn't like the diversity in The Last Jedi.
EDIT: I got my timeline wrong there, as Black Panther came out after The Last Jedi, not before. But the point stands.

Review bombing can go either way. You can't put down someone just because they have a different opinion.

No one’s putting down anyone. Some of us are simply calling out what’s happening here.
You can't? Which internet do you live on?

Haha, you know what I mean.
People can't just call someone racist because they say Halle Bailey doesn't look like Ariel.

There's more 10's for that crappy show than 1's.
Quit lying about the review bombing. House of Dragons has a diverse cast too, but critics and fans both love it. Not just Disney or Race apologists.

Exactly. Any time black people step into roles that white people think should be reserved for only white actors, which tend to be fantasy roles, mind you, they lose their minds and troll. We saw it with Star Wars, we’re seeing it now with Lord of the Rings, House of the Dragon, Pinocchio, and The Little Mermaid. It happens all the time.
Mermaid’s full trailer hasn’t even come out yet.

People loved Finn in The Force Awakens. They hated Rose is The Last Jedi because she ruined Finn, the Black character that they loved.

Ehhhh loved Finn? Kind of liked Finn would be more correct.

Okay.
I’m referring to the online hateful comments from people, not the ratings.

No accusation. It's there for all to see. To be fair you are not the only person attempting to create a controverse about this live action remake. A cheap way to stir interest.
This.
It’s happening as we talk about this with The Woman King. The film is about an all black woman warrior tribe. The film has been getting great reviews from critics, but it has a 3.5/10 score on IMDB. It’s really upsetting and disgusting to see people do this to any film.

.... And you guys are complaining about the fans. I haven't seen this movie yet, but chances are... it's not better than "Jaws" and "Star Wars."

That’s only 31 reviews so far, it will drop as it always does.
Many Disney animated and Pixar films have started at 100% and dropped as more critic reviews are released.
Not sure what point you are trying to make?

Only 31??? I'd be complaining if it was just 5 reviews.
The critics are obviously propping up the score. Because they are either Woke or don't want to be labeled a Bigot.

Okay so you are legitimately asserting that critics have banded together to post false positive reviews, to be woke or avoid levels, and there is no way this film is just actually really good?
Have you seen the film? What is your reasoning this film can't be well liked, and earn positive reviews?
