Two months ago: The new Annie movie gets bad reviews.

Tumblr: "If this movie had been about a white girl, critics would love it!"

Two months later: Jupiter Ascending, a movie about a white girl, gets even worse reviews.

Tumblr: "If this movie had been about a white guy, critics would love it!"

Not a secret because there's nothing more to say here, just shaking my head once again at the social justice side of tumblr's hypocrisy and treatment of "if" statements as universal truths.

Annie was god awful. Where was tumblr when Book of Life came out?

Oh, tumblr adored Book of Life (so did I, to be fair). It also tried to blame other tumblrites for the movie being a financial flop, because if everyone who claimed to care about social justice on tumblr had bought a ticket, it would be at the top of the box office, surely.

I feel terrible about Book of Life, because I ended up having to leave early. It was actually so bright and colorful that it triggered a massive migraine. :( At least I still purchased the ticket, I guess...

Are people saying that people would like JA if it was about a man? Most of the people on my dash seem to be saying "It is complete ridiculous schlock but in a fun B-movie way."

"If this movie had been about a white guy, critics would love it!"

I don't know about that, because (without seeing it, admittedly) I think the closest parallel sounds like the male-led Winter's Tale; both tap into that "cracked out middle school OC daydream brought to the big screen" sensation. And I think JA is going to wind up doing way better than WT, despite having the female lead.
