Troll campaigns, such an easy slur to chuck about. You dislike the movie, your a troll, you dislike the female lead your a sexist, you dislike the black lead your a racist, it's tiresome and lazy. Rotten Tomatoes can do whatever they wish it's there website but in doing so opens up such resentment and arguments towards the access media. The poll on RT about interest in Captain Marvel was exactly that a poll. The anticpation score bottomed out at around 27%, thats bad, really bad, coincidence RT took it down, maybe maybe not. But what people can't hide is the comments that were left, they have been recorded by Youtubers including Nerdrotic and read out in videos. Not 1 commennt was sexist, racist or misogynistic but the media have already posted multiple articles saying toxic fans are trolling RT and review bombing the site and then again it gets taken down, coincendence again, maybe maybe not.
YouTube Influencers are profiting by being both disingenuous and duplicitous. You've are both misinformed and are abetting bad actors for their profit.
As a subscriber to RT, I added an account years ago because I was a member of Flixster which bought them, I occasionally did vote Interested/Not Interested. So before this RT story became a huge story I was already viewing the comments left for a movie that had not been released, Captain Marvel. RT only showed some 20 pages of comments not the 20K to 30K that were out there. And yes a large number of the comments were just as RT described and NOT what the youtuber Nerdotic was stating as he didn't review them all. Since this Brie Larson/CM backlash has started the number of constant postings by Influencers on youtube has been an epidemic. They have been quick to pump out videos almost on an hourly basis because they get traffic because of the controversy and they keep fueling the controversy by creating ever more inflammatory videos.
They are making a killing over this. They have every reason to post constantly and to continue to manufacture and "Goose" the outrage because they benefit. If you go back and read what Brie said at NO time was she disrespectful to 40 year old white male reviewers. They can take the observation any way that they want to but they were not maligned, nor excluded nor disparaged in any way what so ever.
Some of those commenters where removed and RT said as much. Just because some video only showed a few pages did not mean that RT was lying. I read some of those early on and they had NOTHING to do with the movie and were directed at Brie Larson personally. That same trend is happening here and some posters are getting their posts deleted.

Brie larsson deserves to be attacked. If she is going to attack white males, then she should be prepared for the retaliation. Frankly im not overly bothered about RT, just trying to make a seperate discusion. My hate is with the constant attack on white males because we dont like said actors particular work. Like i stated, woman your a sexist, black your a racist. Whatever happened to not liking something because you personally don't like it for no other reason than that you just dislike the movie. I can absolutely guarantee that when this movie is released and the numbers are lets say underpar (i know it will make money, im just using an example) the access media and all the shill reporters and critics will all the say the same thing "white male trolls hate woman". This movie will underperform because 1: Captain Marvel is a very poor charcater and basically Marvels Mary Sue and 2: Brie Larsson for not keeping her mouth shut. She doesn't want to be reviewed by white men or be told things by white men then i and many others don't want to be lectured too by a white chick.
