Being honest, the real problem is I once used to be subscribed to a lot of those channels that seemed to base their whole identity on bashing TLJ and other "woke" stuff because I genuinely knew no better about their politics at the time. Then it got to the point where I unsubscribed from all of them and recently the only time of day I'd give any of them is checking on Midnight's Edge every now and then because they were a genuinely good source for film news even as late as 2019 and I hope to dear god they get their crap together only to find out EACH AND EVERY TIME that it's always worse than I could have imagined, acting like Ezra Miller and Amber Heard were only kept onboard for their DC projects while WB canned Johnny Depp because of Miller being non-binary and Heard being a woman (missing a lot of context like WB having kept Depp on for Crimes of Grindelwald which led to a lot of PR headaches) and attributing Lightyear's underwhelming opening weekend to the prominence of a lesbian couple in the movie even though nothing about that was advertised ahead of time beyond Pixar staff saying they had re-inserted a same-sex kiss that had been previously struck down by higher-ups as protest against Disney refusing to retract funding for the infamous Florida bill, and I outright did research into it to see that there were probably other reasons even regarding the film's own content which would explain it way better. From that point on I stopped watching their stuff unless it popped into my suggested feed, at which point I'd usually turn it off after like a minute because I knew things weren't going right. The main spokesperson, at the start of the channel's review of the new Thor, described Multiverse of Madness as a "bait-and-switch" which is not remotely the vibe I got from the film at all and from having seen an earlier video I knew he only described it as such because it didn't live up to fan speculation (mostly surrounding cameos) and even compared it to The Last Jedi, a movie full of actual bait-and-switch moments, in that regard.

Even aside from that I still have a general idea what the anti-progressive crowd is up to since another channel I follow chronicles their ridiculous antics (among many other things). I could rant more about Midnight's Edge but I'll spare the thread for now.

LMS, that was not an invitation to elaborate. It was a request to shut the fuck up about TLJ.
