Egyptian starts petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes movie review site over negative reviews of Suicide Squad
An Egyptian has started a Change.org petition to have the movie review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes shut down over its collection of negative reviews of the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, Vulture reports, in what will likely go down in history as the most Egyptian thing that has ever happened. The mowaten shareef [honorable citizen] behind the demand for social justice and accurate reflection of the will of The People, an Alexandrian going by (what we presume is) the pseudonym Abdullah “Coldwater” (real name: Abdullah Saleh) gave the reasons for his act of tamarod as being: “We need this site to be shut down because It’s Critics always give The DC Extended Universe movies unjust Bad Reviews.” The petition amassed 17.6k signatures in its first day, and has since declared victory. The story has made its way to Reuters, the Independent, the Telegraph, IndieWire, Variety, and everywhere else.
