The Blake Lively backlash clearly isn’t hurting her movie’s surprising box office haul

1. Evil paparazzi and jealous onlookers will break these two up soon; Hollywood takes beautiful flowers and destroys them.

2. What is actually going on ?

3. This all seems a bit much since the actor has a movie out and controversy is the best way to promote these days.

4. Yeah, because no one actually cares about all that bullshit. A few hundred people getting their panties in a wad on reddit isn’t going to have much effect. I guarantee you 95% of people have no idea what the fuck those people are even on about.

5. There’s backlash? Huh. Who knew

6. Twitter “backlash” has always been overstated 

7. The internet has become an extremely profitable ad farm fueled by the unresolved negative emotions of human beings who are understandably easily rage baited into a never ending series of optimized traps to keep them on platform by expertly and algorithmically targeting their preexisting biases and playing on the foundational dynamics of high school social politics.

   The PR worked!

8. I think most adults don’t care for the drama, and they aren’t shitposting about it on the internet. So that could be it.

9. Do you think anyone who doesn’t spend their days on specific parts of social media even knows there’s a Blake Lively backlash?

10. Lmfao that audience is from the coho readers, not Blake lively fans. I’m very curious to see how her next stuff does, however.
