Amazingly, WB might have lost less money if they had scrapped the Flash and spent the money to finish and release Batgirl instead.

Have any of these Batgirl movie fans looked at any of the leaked footage or anything? It looks just as shit as WBD said it did. It was supposed to be a straight-to-streaming movie. It was finished and they had already dumped money on touching it up. It would have fucking bombed in theaters, the tax benefits probably far outweighed the theater distribution costs alone. Notice that they made the opposite decisions with Blue Beetle, which itself has a cast of Latinxes and may technically be the first Gunn-DCU film.

The Flash had/has serious potential of legs, they had already sunk all the costs into it (the movie was done, during the wait they've been shooting more cameos and editing the ending not changing the movie), it's the ending of the DCEU, the director is so prized by WBD and DC they just tapped him to helm the next Batman movie, etc.

I honestly cannot understand how these people dig in instantly to some position they don't actually care about and adopted just to go with a mob popular in a niche "video game" forum.

Imagine being given a hundred plus million dollars to make a fantasy world and you make an even whiter version than the real medieval Europe. Talk about zero creativity and care for diversity.

Yea, I'm sure poc were on every corner of the street in medieval Europe

I've posted it before, but these people think current Europe has American levels of skin color diversity. And they think there's five times as many non-whites in America as there really are. They're ignorant of history in every way possible so they project their ignorance about other cultures backwards in the distant past based around irrelevant information like the Moors in Iberia.
