The second you are promoting it is where the problem lies, like how can you not see that? And how the fuck is it ruining if I simply point out she's a huge hateful piece of shit? If that makes it tough to enjoy, boo fucking hoo, you have morals at odds with your wants, find a way to deal with it.

I hate to break it to you but it's stunning number of authors and directors and actors are huge pieces of shit. They're not promoting her they're promoting the work.

By most accounts Martin Luther King was a terrible person but you can still appreciate the message he had with regards to race and still think his speech was incredible

I find it ironic that the people supposedly doing good by hating her are the ones in here spitting bile at others. Not even others who say a single good word about the woman. I'd say you're acting like awful people, but I don't think you're acting. That's likely why you need to virtue signal so hard.

If this is bile and harrassment you're genuinely so soft it's adorable.
