    Both starlets did a lot of polarizing chattering in the past year. Turned a lot of people off. They should have been more professional and kept their opinions to themselves during the lead up to this films release. Then they could have proceeded to enlighten the world with their wisdom and unique intelligence.

      Have you read the article? Statistics say that did not turn off people at all.

      Not sure why you’re being mass downvoted, this is objectively true. Making even slightly controversial public statements in today’s world, particularly within the entertainment industry, makes it very easy for people to publish ragebait articles and videos about you and your work. Algorithmic social media rewards anger and hate, so there is a clear financial incentive driving this. If you are a professional working in this industry you owe it to yourself and your work to not rock the boat unless you have a very good reason to do so. Not everything has to be some kind of deep cultural moment with an inspiring social message behind it.
