The RT scores basically favor some "critics" over others and give lower credibility to audience ratings.

A Top Critic is a

professional film critic at an outlet invited to join RT. Then, you have to establish a history of several years working at prominent outlets with significant readership/viewership, and be considered by the public, peers, and (especially) RT to be influential and providing high quality film reviews. In other words, be a well known critic who writes impressive reviews at a well-known outlet for a long period of time.

It ain't some conspiracy theory, it's standard RT.

I'm seeing less and less distinction between you guys and the SJWs you swear to abhor. Every time I come on here, you're bellyaching about someone disrespecting you and your masculinity.

trolling is not your forte. no one can be that clueless on what's being talked about here.

Is this the part where anyone with a different viewpoint just needs to shut their mouth lest their posts be deleted or edited? Seems like it.

I mean, I'd love to actually respond to this post. But I know where the rabbit hole leads.

Still mad that you can't post political bait threads anymore?

That banning hit hard. Though I do appreciate the attempt to sneak their whining into Everything Else, like no one would notice the continued pearl clutching.

And it's not the opposing opinions that offend. I've been clear about that time and again. The thing that gets you in trouble is the borderline extremism and political baiting.

Not to mention the links to white nationalist and alt-right websites.

Again, I'd love to have a conversation about it, but you typically just fall back on dismissing any point given with "so what?!" and "who cares?!" That's assuming you respond at all. Typically you just ignore the post and move on with the circlejerk.

Contrast this with some other members who lean right and actually back up their points with explanations, experiences, and other things that actually LEAD to a discussion.

You mean the ones who feign to like you?

I would to love to see 3 politically-heavy threads where you apparently welcome such contrary viewpoints where, 1) you didn't evoke sarcasm or politically bait others yourself, 2) didn't delete posts that had counterpoints to your arguments, 3) or the thread wasn't closed/deleted completely.

Oh oh, proud boys getting their panties in a twist

I’ll add to your number three that the thread is closed after conveniently getting the last word on someone’s points with comments that could be considered baiting.

ahh, but mods can get away with anything, and altering the truth to their needs. at least the bad ones. hence why I think we need a mod overhaul.

Since this thread is almost only used for arguing and hating on Brie Larson and not for actual discussion of the film, I'll go ahead and close it. Feel free to send angry PMs this way.
