It’s not that they’re afraid of what people think. It’s a tactic. When you force people to repeat things they know aren’t true, you gain power over them.

They know exactly what the public reaction to things like TLOU2, Ghostbusters Chick sedition, and The Last Jedi will be. They’re not that dumb. But by releasing it and then using their control of the media to bully everyone into saying it’s stunning, brave, hilarious, or whatever, they increase the amount of control they have over society. It’s a tactic and they’ve been doing it for decades.
