People who need to believe that everyone agrees with them - eviltoast

They only feel validated if they believe, against all evidence, that everyone thinks the way they do

They call a movie they don’t like a “flop” even if the movie is objectively a financial success

They think the vast majority of people are against transgender acceptance

They think all fans of Harry Potter are against Snape being black

They think movie studios continue to make “woke” content even when it has been nothing but bad for business. If studios were ACTUALLY losing money off “woke” content, they wouldn’t be making it.

Wake the f up and accept that the majority are not as bigoted as you

    brainwashing will do that… these people watch only faux news and if you tell a lie often enough it becomes fact in their minds

    this isnt a position they used logic to obtain so you cant throw logic at them to change their minds. its a visceral, emotional state that will take generations to undo…assuming of course we can somehow stop the flow

      Even with brainwashing, I’m struggling to understand how they can deny a movie objectively being a financial success. It’s one thing to argue that a movie sucks, that’s their opinion, but to straight up lie and say it financially failed when it didn’t…

        youre dipping back into the logic bucket

        their brains will perform backflips to not disrupt their emotionally obtained beliefs. imagine all the people stuck in ‘objectively’ abusive relationships… they go far out of their way to justify that illogical position.
