For me there is no topic that fires me up more than when I see threads like this, because in my eyes it's a threat on people's freedom of choice, admittedly on a much smaller scale, but it still is taking away people's choice to watch a Movie and possibly have a good time all because of some ****ing extremists that for some reason are living in a country who's culture that they can't stand.

Because these Muslim extremists should leave France if they can't handle a Barbie Film airing in the country.

This is my point about russian propaganda. It fires you up, and they know this type of story fires a particular demographic up. It's all done by design. To put it bluntly, people are being led by the nose in order to distract them from other things that are going on. Social media revolves around making some group angry, because they know that is the most effective way to get their attention. What people need to do is learn that the entire world iis being led by the nose in one way or another by a very small group of individuals, who all have sinister intent, much worse than the little stories they highlight

…I mean, from what I understand of the reporting…?…the screening wasn’t ‘cancelled’ so much as halted as it did begin and was going ahead…but an ongoing/escalating behaviour of some youths led to a decision because of possible safety issues for those attending so the screening was stopped to protect the safety of all…that doesn’t seem the same as ‘cancelling’ and feels that again, the media are misleading in how they portray their information with the intent to create divide…

I do agree with you that propaganda gets used to distract people.

Censorship and banning harmless media is definitely one that works on me, because as I've already stated it can lead to a country becoming more like Russia years later, which nobody should want that.

I hope the people disrupting the event will face some kind of punishment.

…well that’s kind of between those people and the French authorities involved and whether any/shat laws were broken…but personally I wouldn’t say it was cancelled as such/but halted because of safety concerns…

Thanks Ammi.

That admittedly does sound more reasonable.

…well, I’m not sure about reasonable……I don’t think that people feeling under threat while watching a lighthearted musical/movie screening could be any type of reasonable …but I don’t think that events/circumstance seem quite the slant that the media would have us think…yet again…and again…and again…etc…

I meant the response to not air the Film because of the psychopaths.

I should've elaborated that part better.
