There are several popular Blake Lively snark subs, but none for Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey, or the dozens to hundreds of other male celebrity abusers and predators. If they do have them, they aren't nearly as hateful or snarky or popular as the Blake Lively snark subs. The hate has gotten so intense that Reddit is even taking action against these subs. I can also pretty much guarantee that the users posting in these subs are not commenting or posting to the same degree about these men. Can Blake Lively's haters explain why they're so much more passionate about hating Blake's hair, outfits, bathroom layout, hobbies, etc than they are for hating the behavior of actual abusers, rapists, and predators? It's really interesting.

ETA: A lot of people in here missing the whole point. If Blake's haters can prove to me they spend at least as much time on the internet hating male celebrity predators I'll certainly eat my hat

Some people didn’t like my last post because they felt those movies weren’t comparable to "It Ends With Us," so here are two better comparisons: "Big Little Lies" and "Safe Haven." Both are dramas involving domestic violence themes, both are based on books with dedicated fanbases, and both were marketed in ways that weren’t treated as “super serious.” They had alcohol brand collaborations, wine glasses, drinking-game style promotions, product placements, Valentine’s Day releases, and other lifestyle-focused marketing tie-ins.

Yet none of that sparked even a fraction of the backlash that "It Ends With Us" did, and certainly not the kind of intense criticism directed at one individual actress.

So what exactly was the difference?

All three movies dealt with serious themes of domestic violence or sexual assault yet had sexy/glossy marketing campaigns with fashion collabs, themed drinks, merch, pop-ups, etc. Why did only "It Ends With Us" get negative feedback?

They both look amazing!

Emily Blunt supported Blake even through the height of the smear campaign. She's a true friend to Blake!
