attention seeking

Sometimes it's literally this, but in attempting to 'raise awareness' about God. They feel like the targeted area needs someone to publicly advocate for Christianity, to reach people that otherwise wouldn't hear of or about it.

these idiots see Nazis in their breakfast each morning.

Suppose all or many of these women are getting exposed to media from the west that depict standards of living far beyond what 99% of everyone on the planet will experience?

That might be a grandfather (perhaps making the outrage worse, but frailty more understandable). His hair was all grey.
And then, consider that there are 2 (camera guy, too) seemingly able-bodied savages against an obese woman and a likely unarmed, middle-aged man with their hands full.
Sure, it would be more honorable to die fighting for your descendants, but people of the western world don't really reward honor these days. Nor would they absolutely protect your kin if you did fall.

OK but what does Kevin Hart think?

I guess I could see rough, literal translations of the title becoming provocative (getting on, coming on to, climbing onto), but I don't get how mere titles can't be localized to get the intent.
Perhaps they're looking out for young girls afraid of being called old when they hit puberty (maybe a cultural problem in particular subcontinents).

Some comments said they had already done this for international releases when it came out. The change here was probably Netflix making it the same everywhere.

James fought voldy 4 times, Snape was a wannabe nahtzi and said niggerfaggot

Where did this lore come from? Did they want Snape to be likeable (to modern audiences) or not?

It is a frivolous pursuit, yes. The same be said for people seeking world records in eating contests or track and field (athletics for non-murricans) events. There are other bizarre feats found in the Guinness World Records. They are all basically useless stunts.
They also test the limits of humanity. They lay a higher peak. They can inspire an audience to challenge themselves in their own goals.
A number of these people praise God for their achievements. It could be argued that the feats function as testimonies of God can help us do.
Should the nerds get real jobs? Perhaps yes. One moral question is, what is the point of peak productivity? Does it make you a better person? Better than Christian monks?

There's an old Futurama joke implying that they're effectively vanity credits. In any case, I would link giving her that credit to the product having her endorsement.

From one of the previous threads when this casting was speculated, it was mentioned that she is involved with the show as an executive producer.

The "art" looks so bland, I almost have to believe this is a knock-off of a knock-off. Amazing that they would promote it.

Perhaps they have foreseen that "our democracy" will be achieved soon. No more need to add to 270.

they're saying shit like "no casualties" here.

That's on me. I thought 'casualties' was more or less interchangeable with deaths.

Perhaps the concern shouldn't be so much ruling, but ruining. Based on this tweet, it seems that they could be capable of emptying oceans of selected species with time.

Suppose Denmark must be relieved it wasn't spelled "Ramadane."
