I wouldn't take this as a reason to develop sympathy for the cunts - but I do think it's worthwhile to look at things critically and understand if you're being manipulated, because marketing strategies like these are also designed to get buy in from your anger at the people that are pissed off. I'm not sure if any of these decisions in film are actually cynical in this way or if they've all been genuine - but outside of film political outrage-marketing has been used again and again in the past decade. If you get whipped up into a rage at the other people whipped up into a rage by X corporation pushing Y hot-button agenda (eg Gillette and their foray into gender politics) it's important to remember that you're both getting played by a cynical capitalist machine. X company doesn't actually care about about Y issue - but they care a lot about the publicity and new loyal fans they can generate by cynically whipping up outrage.
