While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.
it's a remake of gal gadot and it has disney in it, it's absolutely the best idea to ban it
Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can't tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.
Edit: ok I'm going to leave this up here because I'm a masochist, but ok I get it. I'm with you guys. Boycott Gal Godot. Ban is functionally a boycott. In the US, this movie would never get banned, but I would 100% boycott it. I didn't fully think this through and I agree with most of you guys.
Upvoting for the edit. It's rare to see people doing self crit and changing their position after having it explained to them why their initial position is wrong. I wish I saw it more often.
