Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can’t tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.
Edit: ok I’m going to leave this up here because I’m a masochist, but ok I get it. I’m with you guys. Boycott Gal Godot. Ban is functionally a boycott. In the US, this movie would never get banned, but I would 100% boycott it. I didn’t fully think this through and I agree with most of you guys.
So a blanket ban of any books that acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people and banning a single Disney movie for having a war criminal lead actress are exactly the same thing to you? You really can’t tell the difference?
While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.
it’s a remake of gal gadot and it has disney in it, it’s absolutely the best idea to ban it

Except in this case, the thing being banned has no message they’re trying to repress. They’re targeting a person who’s in it.

first they came for the disney remakes starring war criminals or whatever, and there was no one left to speak
