People like Roeper and James Rolfe may not have been hacked (who knows maybe they were, they just wished to stay quiet and not run to the press) , they were met with about the same high level of hate and death threats for simply not giving into the hype train. But it was rushed under the rug and didnt become click bait because well..reasons.
"Run to the press"? You mean snitch on her bullies? Heck, Roeper is "running to the press" here by claiming anyone who disagreed with him about a movie must be an unconscious feminist! Nothing about this interview says "staying quiet."
And what hype train? There was no hype train for this movie. There was either "Well, I'll give it a shot!" or "This abomination is an absolute disgrace to my beloved childhood!" And anyone who questioned the latter was downright crucified online.
Suicide Squad had a hype train (and we've seen what that's worth, heh).
I said I'm sorry for everyone who was attacked. Nothing was dismissed. But I won't agree that others have had it as bad as Jones (and that includes Feig and the other GB actresses). Jones is a woman, she's a minority, she's a big girl, and she's outspoken. Trolls are notorious for targeting all of these things, particularly the last two. Anything their twisted minds consider to be a weakness, something to mock. And if anyone who fits that description dares to be happy or successful, trolls immediately jump on them, without mercy. We all know this.
