Breitbart Reports: The Disney Grooming Syndicate is blaming its string of box office flops on sexist fans, and I’m finding this nothing short of glorious :
Everyone says “It’s the movies, stupid,” which is an easy thing for people to say. More appealing movies are a great way to jump the political issues. But more and more, our audience (or the segment of the audience that has been politicized) equate the perceived messaging in a film as a quality issue. They won’t say they find female empowerment distasteful in The Marvels or Star Wars the latest trilogy starring Daisy Ridley], but they will say they don’t like those movies because they are “bad.” So “make better movies” becomes code for “make movies that conform to regressive gender stereotypes or put men front and center in the narrative.”
This was told to Puck by a Disney executive. Yes, this is what Disney’s executives— the people in charge — think.
This is extraordinary.
For just a moment, let’s forget the politics. Instead, we will focus on…The Math.
Question…
What is required to create a box office hit? Here in the States, when it comes to an expensive blockbuster like a Marvel or Star Wars piece of shit movie, you’re talking about $300 million gross. So, if the Disney Grooming Syndicate needs $300 million to have a hit on its hands, how many tickets must Disney sell? The answer is about 33 million.
That 33 million might sound like a lot, but it’s less than ten percent of the U.S. population.
And when you consider that most blockbusters are powered by repeat business, it’s even less than 33 million/ten percent, but let’s stick with that 33 million number.
Do you see where I’m going here?

Its easier to call people -ists, than to acknowledge that you & your product suck. They can be wrong and blame sexism all the way to bankruptcy if they want. I'm still not going to watch their garbage.
