: Seomin said "We are asking Miramax for some money." NOT "We will consider dropping this campaign if you give us cash".
But it was pretty concretely complied.
A bully's about to beat the shit out of you, you ask what you can do to prevent that beating, they say they're going to ask your parents for $200... so you hand over the $10 you have in your pocket... and they tell you they're still gonna beat you up on Friday.
It's just so fucking transparent.
Honestly. Is this a case of a few dozen people drawing a conclusion in defense of a director they like... or one person defending an organization's abysmal strongarm tactics because she believes in what they claim to represent?
