Like is this complaint about the worries of the non-existent viewer who's watching THE KING'S MAN and then running to wikipedia to learn more about history? Like it's schlock. I don't think anyone who enjoyed that movie (i.e. would be influenced by it) is learning about the real>

Considering that hundreds of thousands (perhaps over time millions) of Wikipedia viewers looking up King's Man, don't you think a percentage of them will want to know more about inter-credit scene (a de facto trailer for next film)? Especially considering how fans are? 2/2

capturing imaginations, and a brief spike at that. Not a spike in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories or this Erik Jan Hanussen guy. And "a percentage" is kinda a so-called weasel word. Like there's "a percentage" that does anything. Doesn't mean it's significant. Are you saying >

My grandpa was a Holocaust refugee. I don't think anti-Semitism isn't dangerous. I just also think fear mongering is also dangerous.

In fact I think it's dangerous to Jews so when real anti-Semitism does arise it makes people take it less seriously because they're used to cheap rhetoric that exploits it for personal gain.
