BOOOOOO… we don’t want your facts when we have arguments based on emotional and biased premises that support our conclusions!!! Get outta here already!

Did you watchtl the movie? It was more about the mom than anything. Also, with movies it’s a complete fool’s errand to look at the end result profits and determine if the deal signed was unjust to anyone, that’s how contracts work in every field of business where the outcome is unknown, it’s a gamble on the movie producer’s part as well. You are ignorant of what people are typically paid for their rights to a story, what he was paid, and each of the family as well which was the same amount, was actually an overpay when compared to what’s typical. These are objective facts, some people appreciate them, others don’t as many have clearly illustrated.

Confirmation bias afforded by ignorance, willful or just plain, is a strong drug, never more so than in today’s utterly polarized world where so many have consciously or subconsciously decided to judge everyone and everything based on intersectionality instead of valid logic based on factual premises and objectivity. In short, many today will see what they want to see because it fits their preconcieved biases, doing so allows them to continue to support their believed narratives, and it makes them FEEL good about themselves and their beliefs, facts and logic be damned. This is nothing new, the world has always had people who act thus way, what us new is the ability for these types to gain strength in great numbers via social media, couple that with actual media, academia, political, and lately economic/business entities desire to gain clout and/or resist being demonized by the hoard of the unthinking and actually adding validity to such nonsense, well, we end up with what we have today.
