the director of one of these films (the execution 2021) is vocally antiwar and anti-putin. what's the fucking point in removing his work! who is this helping!

*SLAMS HANDS ON TABLE*

THIS IS WHAT I FUCKING MEANT WHEN I SAID IT'S BAD TO TRAIN OURSELVES INTO ALL OR NOTHING ACTION

AGES AGO

THIS IS WHY

THIS. IS. WHY.

Because we trained ourselves to go "Oh, a designated Bad, put it immediately in the Bad Bin."

We can't even take 2.5 seconds to turn something over and see what it is. We afford real people and real situations less scrutiny than we do a puzzle piece in a video game.

And the results always hit at the worst time.

This. Is. Why.

Penalizing independent creators for their place of birth is not in any way productive. It misses the point entirely and if anything has a net negative effect.
