I'm okay with this, mainly because I never believe companies actually mean that stuff. And when you know they don't mean it, it's just patronizing. Also I'm like bruh... I picked out the movie, I know what year it was made, I don't live under a rock
Why does it matter if they "mean" it? The point is to help people avoid topics that are sensitive to them. Who cares if they meant it or not. Whatever that means.
It actually never occurred to me that those messages would be useful to anyone... but the shorter phrasing they reverted to is less patronizing anyways, and I always appreciate that
