Some relatively influential people, connected to gaming, were able to push back against SJW insanity and get sizable following at that, which made some SJWs incredibly uncomfortable. Because of it gamers were proclaimed "public enemy of the progress #1" by some people and have become a scapegoat for all stuff SJWs doesn't like.

Some of those negative reviews are just because of political ideals and not the actual movies. We've indeed been living in an age of censorship where the reviewers and influencers get to censor by talking bad about a product.
And it's not just one political side, the other is the same thing just a different side of the coin, look at the reason the previous thread was closed. |

So apparently Joaquin Phoenix was repeatedly storming off the set throughout shooting... except when he was acting with Robert DeNiro.

A. Wow, Joaquin sounds like an asshole Or B. Wow, Joaquin is an intense actor. A true artist! Though, I've been up this films butt since it was announced and neither of those seem like narratives that Todd has been pushing. He stated just the other day that Joaquin wasn't doing any method acting on set, and he appears to be very chummy with Joaquin. Anyway, I'm probably reading too much into it. Can probably be chalked up to being asked a hundred questions a day and sometimes contradicting yourself. |

Phoenix walks out of interview when interviewer asks him if he thinks the movie could inspire real life violence:

It's a movie, and the question itself implies the mindset of censorship. If someone can't see a movie without going off and doing something awful then that's an indicator of that person, not the movie. It's ridiculous. It's absurd. |

How hard is it to say "mass shooters will use any justification for their crimes?" Defend your art, man.

By walking away, Phoenix does nothing to address the issue. He's the main lead on a big movie everyone is going to see. But he's already coming off a bit weird with his walking off set and walking off interviews and whatnot.

from what i read he didn't really walk out, he just went to ask WB PR what to say regarding a controversial question, he came back to finish the interview after consulting PR.

A group of family members and friends of those who died in the 2012 Dark Knight Rises movie theater shooting, have penned a letter to Warner Bros regarding the Joker movie, but it might not be for quite the reason you think...

Road to censorship is paved with the best intentions.

I love these diatribes that invariably begin with, "I'm totally for the freedom of speech, BUT..." or "I'm totally against censorship, BUT..." as they then go on to illustrate the opposite.
Like saying to someone: "No offense, but you're an a**hole." Are you sure you didn't mean to offend? Does the "no offense" part really make it more palatable?
