A majority of Americans across nearly all demographic groups said DEI initiatives have made no impact on their personal careers, according to a newly released Harris Poll/Axios Vibes survey.
Why it matters: Republican lawmakers and activists have vilified DEI, a term for diversity, equity and inclusion policies used by employers. Companies have responded by rolling back programs.
- Yet Americans — and businesses — have a generally positive to at least indifferent view on the subject.
- On balance, most demographic groups were more likely to say DEI benefited their career than hindered it.
The same one I’ve been saying the entire time- that a small vocal group can bring down a movie’s performance before it is ever even made by announcing that it’s woke and that you can tell very little about a movie’s quality if a movie has yet to be made even if it still later turns out to be a bad movie.
In fact, even movies that people expect to be terrible sometimes aren’t bad. Uwe Boll made a whole lot of god-awful movies and he also made Rampage, which was pretty good.
It didn’t matter in the end whether Captaim Marvel was good or bad- I will note that I have looked it up now and both user opinions and professional reviews I am looking up seem to agree in general that it was good and its sequel much less so from everywhere from the IMDB to Rotten Tomatoes- because it was doomed before a screenplay was written.
I should also point out that you initially said this:
And yet the latter did far worse at the box office than the former. It was a complete disaster.
Oh. Yeah I agree that people can tank box office performance by calling a movie woke. My point was that not all criticisms of such a movie are based on its wokeness. I thought that was clearer than I may have made it. Sorry for being a dick about it.
It surprises me that professional reviews rank them in that order.
