Of course it's performative, but it also normalizes these attitudes and makes it safe for the average person to express them.

I went from a 6 XL to a 10 Pro XL and I think the camera on the 6 was better. I actually liked the 6 better in general.

Hahaha, the Hollywood Reporter article that says this was in error and now they've printed a correction.
A screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter article that says:

"As befitting a filmmaker who is known for his meticulous attention to detail in capturing AC time period, when it comes to dialogue, sources say that this adaptation will feature actors speaking in Elizabethan English (aka early modern English), with lines straight from the play."A screenshot of the same Hollywood Reporter article that says:

"A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the script was in Olde English."

Wendel @wendelschwab.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Now the article appears to make a big deal that it has "lines straight from the play" as if that's a huge accomplishment and not regularly done by high school drama clubs.

It's based on a Hollywood Reporter article where the author seems to have thought the Early Modern English of Shakespeare was "Olde English."

Althia Raj: Whatever good is in Mark Carney’s Building Canada Strong Act is poisoned by the toxic rest
The Mark Carney government frames this law as part of its “Canada Strong” plan — and frankly, some parts are good — but toxic with good is still bad.
