When does this end? We have mass shootings every week. Walmart pulling violent video game signage while selling fukking shotguns a couple isles over. Trump getting a call from NRA representatives and a few hours later he's tweeting blaming Hollywood. This is Trump's America, science logic and reason are discarded for distractions and idiocy fueled by special interests trying to make money and maintain their influence.

a lot sooner than later

Yeah, based on the premise of the movie, it seems like the wise thing to do. Creating a movie about "red and blue state" people killing each other seems too much like a real possibility. Don't want to give people any ideas. :manny:

def necessary because these cacs don't know how to act.

This is really faulty logic. Why don't we just go ahead and ban any movie/tv show/book/music that involves violence or violent scenarios to not "give people any ideas".

Stop it. Based on how people are feeling right now, it is not responsible to put out a movie about left wingers and right wingers killing each other. Caring about fukkery more than human life :hhh::rwdahell: Ought to be ashamed of yourself :bunbcmon::lebrondahell:

The Purge series was already doing these things.

The idea that movies CAUSE someone to kill is fukking stupid as fukk. You're literally agreeing with President Trump here. Our pro-gun culture, amount of guns and ease of access to guns combined with mental illness and lack of universal access to mental healthcare is the reason these catastrophes keep happening (sprinkled with a little bit of our president encouraging these psychos).

Ignited =/= fueled either, breh. :russ:

I don't know why you're arguing about these semantics. Yes, white supremacists have been around, yes, folks have been stirring the pot, all of which does not change that Trump plays a big part in this shyt too.

The thesaurus states that it is, but lets not play with semantics. White supremacy is able to exist without Trump, but Trump is not able to exist without white supremacy. Trump is not propelling it to new extremes; that has been happening since the Tea Party's emergence.I am now noticing you are from the Netherlands, explaining why your views of American socio-politics are that simple.

Simple? :skip:

Impertiinent child, why are you ignoring the biggest part of the news about this movie being canceled, which is that Trump repeatedly targeted this movie in tweets about Hollywood glorifying gun violence? A direction he deliberately took to move the discussion about domestic terrorism away from white supremacy (and gun laws). I don't even care what answer you come up with, but please ask yourself how Trump supposedly doesn't propel white supremacy to new extremes (as you claim) when he, in his position as President of the United States, is literally legitimizing white supremacy on a daily basis?

The movie will probably hit streaming or just get leaked. It's already done.

I remember back in the day I saw Jason X wayyy before it hit theaters. They had the trailer playing in a movie and I was :russ: saying I saw that week's ago.

This is nothing but publicity stunt for a film that not too many people were going to pay money to go see when it dropped. Now they simple release it at a later date with the new "controversial" tagging added to it for extra pub and potentially bigger audience and ticket sales. They simple seized the moment:ehh:
