Blaming "misogyny", "racism", "Russian bots" etc etc etc for a movie's failure.

Why has this become a thing?  Movies have bombed since movies have been shown for money.

Why is it a female centric movie like Alien or Aliens or Terminator or Halloween could be a hit 30-40 years ago......but people use hating women as an excuse for GB 2016 failing?

Why is it people loved Princess Leia but if they don't like Rose Tico they're racist or hate women?  Why, because some 14 year old troll on Twitter called her "ugly" or used a racist term?  There's billions of people on social media....why do so many want to act like the worst represent the majority?  Or if something is said on Twitter it's worthy of consideration?

I'm just baffled by the excuses people make for movies bombing nowadays.  TLJ sucks.  Ghostbusters 2016 sucked.  It's that simple.  They're bad movies and when you start attacking your audience (I'm looking right at you Paul Feig) IN THE FILM you're asking for trouble at the BO.

Leave the politics out.  Nobody cares if there are women or minorities if the movie is good.  What's more is it's nothing new.  Star Trek had women in positions of power and minorities 50 years ago.  Everyone loves Star Trek.

I mean it's gotten so bad Rian Johnson is posting links to a "study" that shows Russian trolls were responsible for the reaction his movie got.  How sad and pathetic is that?
