You know what’s interesting? Split Fiction appears to be a legitimate success. It’s obviously feminist as fuck, with two obnoxious millennial female leads and a token straight white male bad guy, and both the sales and CCU are there. So why isn’t leftist media laser focused on this rare diversity win? Why are they obsessed with gaslighting everyone about these obvious flops?
It reminds me of a similar pattern with police brutality. Whenever there’s clear police abuse, the left doesn’t really care. Because almost no one is defending the cops in those cases, so there’s no strife. Instead, the left shows up in force whenever the cops are in the right. It’s like leftists only care about moving the Overton window. An actually good woke game? Leftists sleep. A woke bomb? Leftists prevaricate and dissemble as if their lives are at stake.
There was an interesting post from Scott Alexander about this from the long long ago, about how bad cases provide higher signaling value. As you say, when the police are being legit evil, it's not worth complaining about because everyone agrees with you. Only a TRUE BELIEVER will argue for the release of triple-murder-rape home invader illiterate crackhead dindus.
