Because it vilifies D.I.D.

I'm so tired of this crap. Didn't know whether to post this in entertainment or politics so I'll go with here.

Look, you don't like it don't watch, but this, to me, is the same vein as book burning.

***spoilers for Split if you haven't seen it***


Quote:

The hashtag #GetSplitOffNetflix has been created on Twitter with many of its users in support of the idea to remove the film from the streaming platform. The hashtag has already begun to spread worldwide but it's worth noting that SPLIT is not currently streaming on Netflix in the U.S. but it is in other parts of the world. This petition likely hopes to never have the film be available for streaming on the service in the States. You can view the petition on "Change.org."

For those who support the petition, their belief is that the movie misrepresents the way DID works in real life and that it gives the film's viewers a false perception of those who genuinely suffer from the mental disorder. One tweet reads "Split is a movie that has caused many many many plural people & the plural community at large significant harm due to its misrepresentation of both DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) & Plurality in which it demonizes them & more." The user ads in a follow-up tweet that "It demonizes plurality for entertainment when plural people aren't like that. Plural people need support & love."


First of all "plural people" is a new one. It seems every mental illness is being turned into a new identity, including gender dysmorphia.

Netflix better not respond to this one iota.

Ok done with my rant.

The dude can walk up walls. I never once, nor do I believe a single other human being has, watched that movie and thought "Those damn plural people are scary!!! I better stay away."

SPLIT is a great movie, and the actor who plays young Professor X in the X Men movies blows it out of the water. He is phenomenal.

By the way, if you haven't, watch all three.

Was waiting for that.

1st. Cuties is still on Netflix and Netflix f'd up big time in their addition of that title in terms of presentation.

2nd. Child porn is not generally acceptable in civilized culture.

What a dumb ****ing petition... it's a super villain movie character. Who cares how accurately he represents some group of mentally ill people?

Guys, who do you think started the hashtag? Answer: The movie producers (or maybe Netflix)

Half of you never would have heard of the movie without the "controversy". It says right in the linked article that it bombed at the box office and is gaining traction on Netflix. What a smart way to create a buzz and they can get the SJW community to do the work for them. This is a type of native advertisement.

Split personality disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder. Basically, there are multiple consciousnesses in the same person. Each one is distinct from any other, hence the dissociative.. Think the son in After The First Death or the psycho chick in the last season of Jessica Jones. There's literally more than one person in there.

It ****ing came out in 2016!!!! Box office sales are long over. Actors have moved on.

It was an alright film, but mainly because of McAvoy's tremendous performnce. Other than that it was just another M. Knight Shyamalan film that plays on psychology and misdirection and that didn't really gross well.

If McAvoy wasn't in it I probably wouldn't have watched it once, (he's Scottish, my family is Scottish, gotta support great Scottish actors when you can.)

The jacobins, who believe that 1984 is a utopian road map rather than dystopian fiction, will newer ever be satisfied and will ultimately eat their own.

They are best ignored. Hard to believe so many companies bend the knee to the mob
