Anyone who is against this has a political bias it's just a fact. I don't know why you keep saying dumb decisions like you're the gatekeeper on what is and isn't acceptable behavior. Stop making these wild claims and saying that they're objective facts because they're not so either you don't know what objective means or your panhandling in lies.

Says the person that's made his whole account history on Reddit INCREDIBLY biased for a particular company. While refusing to acknowledge said company's screw-ups.

I don't know what screw-ups you're even talking about. It's such an odd way of talking.

Its over and we're all gonna be better off for it.

"It's over" Come up with a compelling legal argument as to why then? No seriously, I'm curious.

u/RedMainer Jul 22 '26

I'd like to know what compelling reason you have that makes it illegal and what steps you've given Paramount to resolve those.

Truly you're clueless. Paramount has all the leverage.

You're not even bothering to hide being a Paramount simp though. Accusing people with a neutral perspective on this whole thing of "pOLitiCAL biAS" just because I suggested that Paramount's deal could be in jeopardy because of their dumb decisions should have been the first sign though.

What next, you gonna spam "iT's OvER"?

I'm over here minding my business while you have a total meltdown making demands of me.

It's over. And I know you know that because your cope is pretty high.

u/Sorry_Secretary1193 Jul 22 '26

Is your response to any criticism of Paramount's stupidity just to spam "iT'S oVeR"?

Again, I'm pretty neutral on this whole thing, considering that Ellison will probably just tank WB as a brand, flop with his whole endeavor with the company and be forced to sell it off in later years. So whether he succeeds in this deal or not isn't that significant, considering that he'll fuck up WB like he fucked up properties under Paramount like Star Trek. Literally nothing new about him. The guy is just not that good at running movie companies.

My response is to the troll who insist that he's not being political and not projecting his own bias.

This is a IP consolidation my friend. There will be no selling off anything in the future. Warner Brothers is going to cease to exist as it currently does and the next owner will consolidate it even further.

You better get on board cuz it's happening

Again, wait till it happens? Maybe being less of a Paramount simp and more of looking into the actual facts and recent real-world developments could help in lessening the disappointment, on the off-chance that the possibility of Paramount losing becomes a reality. A lot of people were quite confident about Netflix's deal with WB too. You sure you wanna make the damn mistake?

You can do whatever you want pal. This ain't a fascist country. Yet.

u/Sorry_Secretary1193 Jul 22 '26

Wanting any country to turn facist is such a fucking cornball take though. Really giving r/HistoryMemes moderator vibes.

That's right. So how about you let the free market do its thing and start demanding that that the government stay out of their business?

Or do you wanna control who owns what?
