      Chuds regularly game these reviews to mine for screenshots to manufacture consent. It is not a huge deal, but the reason they all bombed positive reviews on the transphobic Ricky Gervais comedy special was so all these Right Wing channels could screenshot, and broadcast to normies that the professional critics negatively reviewing it were out of touch elites and the masses "knew" Gervais was just "telling the truth" about the "trans agenda." Presenting transphobia as just truth being besieged by elites is intended to shape the public's belief that the marginalized actually have outsized coercive power and therefore their outcries about persecution can be treated with indifference.
