Claim About SJWs Sabotaging Movies Fact-Checked
“It is sad to see how a, in my opinion a quite entertaining, movie can be so sabotaged by a bunch of, again in my opinion, loud mouthed, ignorant, intolerant, fanatical SJWs who seems to believe that a movie cannot be allowed to just entertain but has to carry a political message, their political message.”
Summary
The claim is a personal, subjective assessment about a movie being “sabotaged” by “SJWs.” Such judgments about taste, intent, or motivation are not verifiable facts and fall outside the scope of factual verification. Consequently, the statement is an opinion, not a factual assertion.

In the Novum Organum, English philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon (1561–1626) noted that biased assessment of evidence drove "all superstitions, whether in astrology, dreams, omens, divine judgments or the like".
