Why would they need to be duped when their stances all align perfectly with the Kremlin already? I'd have more respect for them if they just admitted they loved Russia that much.
Right-wing influencers were duped to work for covert Russian operation, US says
An indictment alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees.
Common Russian supporter, and far-right L.
Probably because it's embarrassing for them. Do Republicans regularly post about how they put on diapers to support Trump? Because that one was unequivocally proven true.

As I've already stated, you don't need to keep proving you don't understand what the word hoax is

I don't think anyone ever claimed that no fans were racist or sexist, in the past or currently. There are certainly terrible people out there. The claim is that big-budget heavily advertised movies don't fail because of racists or sexists, they most likely fail because they aren't good, and movie studios use diversity cynically to give themselves a scapegoat in case their movie bombs.
Yes, they have. It's the go-to response of the racists and sexists whenever someone pushes back against them. We've seen it with every Star Wars project that was attacked on the basis of having women and minorities in prominent roles, and it's continuing now with The Acolyte. And that's just looking at Star Wars.
Every movie that has failed - whether financially, critically or both - has failed for a variety of reasons (and plenty of well-received movies didn't make money, while a number of movies with a mixed or negative reaction made bank. See most films made by Michael Bay). But it's only when a movie starring a diverse cast and helmed by a diverse crew fails that the blame placed mostly or entirely on the women, racial minorities or LGBT people that were involved. The bigots who will claim they aren't bigoted will continue to yell "Go Woke, Go Broke" every time a diverse movie fails and pretend the diverse movies that didn't fail weren't diverse - that is, when they don't also claim the studio faked box office numbers like they did for Captain Marvel.
I believe people say that they themselves aren't racist. It's the claim that people say no Star Wars fans are racist that is questionable.
I'm quite certain the blame is being placed on the decision makers who chose the direction of the movie, not just any random person involved, but that's neither here nor there.
Sure, but the question here is whether movies are succeeding or failing because of these people, and I'm inclined to think it's decidedly no. There are plenty of people online excited to see things with women and minorities failing, there's no doubt about that, but these people are sad and powerless, yelling into the void. They do not make or break a movie, and likely if anything serve as free publicity.
The studio did start advertising the queer coding and female prominence like 3 years in advance of its release. They undoubtedly did so with purpose.
I don't think studios use diversity as a scapegoat. I think it's that movie-making is, overall, deeply unoriginal. Someone with talent, vision and luck finds a horse, and then the system vigorously flogs it to death. Diversity is often a way of trying to eke a few extra breaths out of the dying horse.
And this one isn't, which is my point...Probably because it's embarrassing for them. Do Republicans regularly post about how they put on diapers to support Trump? Because that one was unequivocally proven true.
Trump Supporters Wore Diapers at Rallies?
Images showed people holding signs that said "Real men wear diapers."
When someone says XYZ group of people is doing ABC and there's no evidence of that, that's literally a hoax by the definition of the word.
No, your point was that you "know" it's a hoax because it wasn't discussed on conservative websites. So my question is, was the Trump diaper thing something that was discussed on conservative websites? That's apparently your standard for if something is real or not.
Firstly, it's not on me to prove some claim is false, it's on the person claiming that to prove their claim. Secondly, the fact that there's just the one user, IIRC, that posted these photos. What's the logical chances of something being a "thing" if only one person has pictures of said "thing"? There's no evidence that this is a thing.
I don't use social media so...

If you don't use social media then why is your criteria for whether or not something is real whether or not it was mentioned on Republican social media?
