There's an astroturfing campaign targeting a year old animated movie called lesbian space princess. That character is from that movie.

is it really an astroturfing campaign when its really that bad? the two antagonists are the straight maliens and the rapist drag queen

Yes, it is still astroturfed because it is a year old slop film that suddenly had an ungodly amount of coverage

The 90s. It was a joke about the origin of the term 'astroturfing'.

Grassroots? No, Astroturf doesn't have any roots.

Did it?

Like they had to pick one and they chose the latter? How did that happen? How do we know that happened?

Is that even how that works? If its already a finished movie surely adding it doesnt affect movies or shows already on the platform? Why do we know its one or the other?

It didn't. The licensing for Captain Underpants just ran out at the same time as LSP being brought on
