The only other thing I can really find being cited by these insanely angry (of course mostly male) vloggers is a Pajiba story titled, “ 'Sonic the Hedgehog' is Expected to Make More than 'Birds of Prey' in its Opening Weekend, What Bullsh*t ,” but the article came out five days after the Birds Of Prey/Sonic backlash had already begun. ![]() Which then set off the content cycle we’re now seeing on Youtube.

I think we’re in a really weird moment where art is struggling to catch up with what technology is doing to our immediate present. Its the whole wheat equivalent to crack cocaine.
