I think it's stupid to blame a film when we should really be blaming white male aggression and entitlement and easy access to guns, but also... this is NAGL.

Agreed.

It's a symptom of a larger problem, not the actual cause. No one thinks it's the cause of Straight White Male Entitlement.

Can’t blame them tbh, the controversy around this film has been stupid.

I am in awe of how badly Pheonix and Phillips fucked up the press for this. Like they can't handle slightly tough questions so journalists are banned? Embarrassing.

Right? So fragile

seriously!

This is so wild to me. America is traumatized from the many many mass shootings, and understandably weary of the chance of violence. Yet somehow it's the left's fault? 💀

mte. I do think that people should wait until we actually know the context of the film but why is it hard to understand why people would be a little nervous about seeing a trailer where it's implied that a white dude is bullied into committing acts of revenge violence against the public might not be a very comforting thing to see right now? We can't go a month without a mass shooting and the majority of the time they're committed by dudes who feel like the world wronged them and deserve to die for it.

lol men are so fucking weak

this reeks of narcissistic insecurity. Aren't many critics loving this movie? Banning them is such a poor move.
