Nobody went 'internet detective'; the trailer literally says that donation will be made on purchases in the US with some exceptions in the small print. How the hell can anybody see that and conclude 'Well, obviously all profits will go to the family'?
I'm super confused about how people are saying it was "internet detectives" faults and this all got taken out of context.
I mean, the official advert made mention that only purchases in the United States would have the money donated, then it was tweeted confirming that when people asked. It's not "internet detective" to read what is in an advert then tweet at the guys that put out the advert for clarification and it isn't on the general public that they were given incorrect information and then had confirmation on that incorrect information.
It was in no way obvious all proceeds would go to the family. I mean, usually when you do something like this it is, but when you then add small print say "actually, only if you buy it in these places will we give money" then of course it casts doubt on the whole thing. Especially when you then double down and say "yeah, we're only donating on purchases made in the US".
It's WB's fault for not actually checking the shit they give out.
This man gets it. Internet outrage culture at it's finest.
You do know it didn't go down like that at all right?
