I won’t “attack” this flick, but I can understand someone not taking it seriously, if this above was their introduction.

Could be people like Madking post that kind of stuff in an effort to drive people away. That way the movie gets less traction, and he can rape more children.

That's like saying you won't fly on airplanes because your introduction to them was 9/11 conspiracy theories. Doesn't make logical sense.

No one with an IQ above room temperature thinks that way.

I’m not watching it because every far-right nut job I know is telling me I need to, and then calling people pedophiles for skipping it. I’m don’t seek validation from that crowd, and I don’t need to watch this schlock to know human trafficking is a global issue that needs a light shined on it.

None of this is happening. No one is calling people pedophiles simply for not going to see the movie.

Of course it is. You're choosing not to do something because of a completely unrelated conspiracy theory.

So you're letting politics keep you from seeing this movie?

I wouldn’t say that. I don’t like Caviezel. I don’t like the studio begging people to buy multiple tickets for people who or may not even watch it to disingenuously inflate box office numbers. Other than my mom, I don’t like or respect a single person who has told me I need to go watch it. I’m seeing a lot of right-wing virtue signaling, like this is the first time the subject of human trafficking has ever been seriously discussed by anyone. It’s all been very silly, and I’m not personally interested in contributing to it.

It gets discussed seriously quite often, but only by the people you apparently have no respect for. Maybe you should reflect on why people you do respect don't highlight this extremely important issue.

Now, you’re just making shite up
What have I chosen not to do?
I’m telling you about a first impression, and how it could be understood that some folks might attach this movie to qtard bullshite, considering qtard bullshitters attached themselves to this movie

I’m glad it appears to be a decent movie, and will eventually watch it.
Some people might dismiss things easier than myself. You can blame them all you want, but there are nutcases that straight up LIED about shite surrounding this film. They absolutely deserve some blame here, also.

Well sure, when your ridiculous stance makes this a self-fulfilling prophesy. Of course the obvious problem here is your own biases. You openly admitted it yourself. That's your entire reason for not seeing the film.

There are nutcases that lie about literally everything. That is nothing to base your decisions on. About anything.

Hard to take people seriously when they admit to letting nutcases drive their decision-making. Wouldn't someone who lets a nutcase drive their decisions also be considered a nutcase?

Good God
I’m simply telling you a justifiable reason for why people have attached this to Qtards.
Dismiss it all you want, but it’s completely understandable for rational minds.

I wish so many hadn’t chalked this up as nothing more than a pile of propaganda shite, but first impressions have an impact. Don’t act like they don’t. You’re not immune and to say you are is some gaslighting bullshite.

If there’s a problem, it’s yours and yours alone. I don’t have one.

You definitely fit the profile of a pedophile.

The problem is, it isn't justifiable. It's a deflection, and completely irrelevant to this movie in every way.

You have clearly demonstrated this to be false. I highlighted your problem in my previous response. You are allowing people you describe as "nutcases" to steer your viewing habits. You don't have to admit it, but that's a you problem not a "Sound of Freedom" problem.

Well, yeah. Is this a problem you feel smart for pointing out?

We all do this.

ETA: 3 posts up, you have a poster calling someone a pedophile for not wanting to watch the movie. Just pointing that out for you, since it never happens.
