I'm aware of the url mishap with the dolls and vaguely aware of the poster controversy but I've also seen people online call it a PR disaster and I'm entirely out of the loop on that

Here's an opinionated article on the subject that includes a copy of the modified image contrasting it to the original (and also the poster for the musical), https://worthitorwoke.com/wicked-star-cynthia-erivos-reaction-to-a-fan-made-poster-is-everything-wrong-with-celebrity-entitlement/

What the fuck is wrong with that article author? The blanket admonishment of celebrities hides the lack of critical thinking or analysis the author was required to do for the story. Such lazy "news" is just a polarization vector to hate on celebrities and is not worth the time or energy to read.

The site has a clear mission of "fighting the woke." It's main purpose is to rank movies and games on a scale from "Woke👹" to "Based😊" so that users don't have to be triggered by wokeism. So yeah, I wouldn't expect high quality reporting.

Do I need adblock for tinfoil hats now?

It’s never a bad idea.
