Now we're 'entitled' for even talking about what they're doing. She's 
not 'entitled' for ruining a show millions of people fondly remember 
from their childhood. No, the millions of people are 'entitled' for 
noticing her doing it and not liking it.

And no, Mindy. Those aren't 'slang' words. They're merely terms made up 
of normal English words that accurately describe what you and your 
fellow travelers are doing.

Now she's presuming to literally tell us who should be allowed to speak 
and who shouldn't.

I bet her next decree will be that people should be forced to watch the 
show whether they like it or not; they shouldn't be 'entitled' to 
boycott something that has DEI in it.

If we actually followed what works and what doesn't, Netflix and HBO 
would have pulled this abomination after Episode 1 and fired your ass.

Oh, absolutely! Spot on, there, Mindy. Die hard fans of a show are 
*always* the ones least informed about it. Trekkies know nothing about 
STAR TREK. All those STAR WARS fans? Clueless about STAR WARS. Those 
people who wear Hogwarts robes to school? The last thing you should do 
is ask them about Harry Potter. They know nothing.

Only woke TV producers know anything about anything.
