If the movie has low user ratings, it's a conspiracy!!!!!!!

It seems that they don't believe that the movie can get enough rating among users, so they're starting to prepare excuses. So you know, if the half dozen media mainstream say that it's a great movie, but hundreds of thousands of users say it's a shitty one and the movies gets a shitty score, it's a conspiracy!!!!! XD

Movie sucked most probably because I hate black character

You're creating a conspiracy by claiming a conspiracy. So very meta.

[–] kuku (3510) 7 years ago

I'm not claiming there's a conspiracy. It's Black Panther's director the one who is claiming there's a conspiracy from some unknown alt-right group that will bring down the ratings.

I'm mocking that claim.

Please read the linked article.

I don't think you read it.

A Facebook group called Down With Disney’s Treatment of Franchises and Its Fanboys, whose moderator describes himself as “alt-right,” recently announced its plans to intentionally tank “Black Panther’s” Rotten Tomatoes score once the movie starts showings on Feb. 15.

That's not coming from the director, that's coming from the Down With Disney group!

The group page is not even public.

The group could be a couple of guys, it could hardly a soul, it could even be some guys from Disney creating it as fake flag to make excuses for bad ratings, first with Last Jedi, then with Black Panther, both from the same company. So who knows?

And then you have the director of Black Panther claiming about this alleged group and that making headlines in the media.

So yeah, I'm mocking the claim. Last Jedi had bad ratings because it was a shitty movie. And it seems that the same will happen with Black Panther, or at least that's what its director thinks, as he has already started to give excuses for bad ratings to come.

So far there is a Facebook page that no one can see for themselves and claims from various news articles with nothing to back those claims up.

Who is this mystery person (group) that self identify as "Alt-Right"?

I would say this is a disturbed person or group of individuals or brilliant marketing (which would make the marketing individuals just as disturbed).

"A Facebook group called Down With Disney’s Treatment of Franchises and Its Fanboys, whose moderator describes himself as “alt-right,” recently announced its plans to intentionally tank “Black Panther’s” Rotten Tomatoes score once the movie starts showings on Feb. 15.

Last year, the same group claimed to use bots to take down the score for “The Last Jedi,” which is now around 48 percent despite a critics’ score above 90."

"“It’s time to strike back at all those under Disney and bring down the house of mouse’s actions for paying off the critics that hurt DC Comics on film and for other parties affected by them,” states the description of the event."

DCEU fanatics are so funny

TLJ is a terrible movie. Hence the low user ratings.
