Hey folks, we just want to take the time out and address an on-going issue we're noticing more and more in the comments; the issue of Patrons insulting, berating or belittling others.

We understand that movies and shows can be very personal and special to the individual, hell that's probably why you searched for reactions in the first place, cause you want to see what other people thought about your favorite film/moment. However, keep in mind that if someone else does not like what you love, it is not an open invitation to insult them or belittle them, whether directly or passive aggressively. That is not them targeting you specifically, they're not shitting on your childhood or best memories. What is special to you remains special to you and no one can take that from you, we're all open to discussions as long as it remains civil and peaceful. 

Those who choose to actively insult, berate or belittle others will be issued warnings publicly in the comment (every comment posted we get an email, so we see all of them. May not be immediate, but we read all of it), those who do not heed the warnings will be permanently banned. We want this platform to remain pleasant for everyone, the world has enough ugly in it as is. Let's keep this place an escape from all that out there, and be excellent to each other. Thank you.

You guys are the best! Thank you for this! It’s great to be a part of a positive scene.

Deano

Humans 😔 can't we all just get along

Jon Johns

Luv you 2 so much. Thanks for taking care of us.

Kage

Party on dudes.

Nik

You using a Bill & Ted phrase makes me very, very happy. Also, it's a curse. I haven't stopped referencing it and it's been 30 years. 😁🤘

Chris Kimmel

Thank you. You guys are great

damonlfc

Come on let’s all be friends we are here together!! Can’t we settle this over a pint

Alfredo Topete Escamilla

That's one of the reasons I stopped commenting. It's great to see you guys are taking action on this! Much love <3

Mark McKeown

Crazy this even needs being said, but have seen how ridiculously common it is across the reactor space. Sorry you're even having to take time out to say this!

ancientmoros

Well said. Like what you like and let other do the same.

eric micke

How could you possibly watch and be a fan of these two enough to pay money for extra and early content and then go be an asshole in the comments? That's crazy to me. They deserve better from all of us.

Emmet Farrell

This aggression will not stand, man!

Greg Lehto

“Two heads are better than one only if they contain different opinions.”

Robert da Spruce

Well said. On a side note, did anyone else read the title of this post in the voice of Keanu Reeves from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure? 😉

Smellwell

Facts. I may have said some nasty things, I don't remember personally. But I apologize if I did. :)

Reid Mclellan

Godamn man, seriously? Cant Get get away from it

Theoshin

and party on, dudes (AKA Thank you)

Florian

Good point!

David Lengyel

Sad to see a need for such post, but hey... humans being humans. I totally get that someone didn't like a specific movie but consider this: as you're experiencing life, you're constantly changing and evolving. That being said, a movie that felt dull 10 years ago might hit quite different today, so maybe give it another chance and enjoy it along your favorite reactors instead of insulting folks with different life story.

Ken Schneyer

Thank you for posting this. This phenomenon strikes me as an example of the wider tendency of fans to take their fandom (and especially their own memories or interpretation of the canon artifact) personally, and to feel violated when others disagree with it. Memories formed in emotionally formative moments (childhood, teen romance, trauma) are personally important and probably well defended. It takes a certain perspective or just plain distance to overcome the connection.

Rockstar

What about peoples opinions of you? Is criticism allowed?

overdev

oh wow, didn't know about that, sad that something like this is still happening :/

Liam Nissan

Any chance you could set up a Discord server? I'd love a spot to talk nonsense, make recommendations and hang out..

Nathan Jasper

Let me take the opportunity to apologize to anyone who I may have wronged. I know I come off strongly and yes I can get defensive. I know I'm guilty and want to make amends with anyone that I have hurt or criticized. I will try to be more civil, or just avoid jumping in a conversation altogether if I know where it will lead. I don't want to be hurtful. Oftentimes I let alternative stress fuel the fire and that's not fair to anyone. Again, I apologize, and I will try to be better.

redddfer44

Even So-crates himself couldn't have put it better. You guys are the best. Here's to a more harmonious and respectful community!

Onno Smits

❤️ I envy y'all's faith in humanity to do better.

Matthew Richson

Good thing I don’t comment much here then.

Ian Forbes

100% agree, well said! We’re all here to have a good time. Everyone’s opinion is valid … even, and especially, when we don’t agree. 😃📽️

Young Blood Priest

It had to be said and it’s good to see you guys take control of the situation to keep this a safe place. Respect.

Tenn Seven

Glad to see this message. I had someone on here personally attack me and suggest I need therapy just because I think "Tropic Thunder" is a below-average movie. People get crazy for some reason when it comes to movies they like.

Diego

You guys are great. Thank you for posting this and for taking action in this kind of matter.

Lock_Down

Patreon shouldnt be twitter. appreciate it.

Eric S

Party on dudes. :)

Jay

Was Jesus banned? Haven't heard from them in a while but they were the closest thing to a troll here, without a doubt. Also Cinebinge - "As paying patrons, we can recommend whatever films we want. If they don't want to consider them, fine, but don't shit all over the idea of them watching something like The Full Monty or Withnail & I. They could read your response and immediately dismiss them. Let them go on a poll and see how they do. Also, The Full Monty was huge when it came out. Can't imagine it doing that badly views wise." I made that comment in response to someone yesterday, and yous replied with "be civil.....violators will be banned etc." Am I missing something? I don't see any insults or belittling in my comment. Is cursing not allowed? Genuinely curious because I'm not sure what I've done wrong there.

Jenny Tolls

Im glad you guys said something. A lot of people will feel personally attacked by someone’s else’s opinions and then will try to hurt them back out of spite. It just spreads more unnecessary negativity. I think this is a good opportunity to reflect that we are all people will different opinions that we are all entitled to have. We’re allowed to disagree with each other but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Just because someone doesn’t like something doesn’t mean it’s a personal attack on your character or your past. This is a good community and I have faith that we can all evolve past this.

Śéáń

Start a second patreon - commenter Battle Royale. Banished commenters are pitted in there to argue amongst each other in their own space where they can't annoy anyone else, and whoever is left standing is allowed back in here. It's the most objectively humane way to govern.

Brendan Rafferty

But what if I’m right and they’re wrong? 😀

David Martin

Please block everyone who disagrees with me. Seriously, this is a great policy.

Samuel Eng

And another reason why i love you guys.

Tim Hibbard

Love you guys and love this message, but hate that things were such that it even felt necessary. Anyone know if it patrons getting nasty in the comments on the page here or were they being rude with the comments on YouTube with each other and/or the general audience?

Wyatt Nuxoll

You guys won't have to worry about me, I never , berate or belittle anyone who has a different opinion than me on a particular movie. Instead I keep on open mind and try to see it from their point of view . I also remember this before you swing the sword with intent to cause pain , remember that they're two sides to the blade and that they can cut equally same

Jeff K.

And George! Say hello to the princesses for us!

Garmonbozia93

I am sometimes baffled by some polls results. But so what? Who cares? Just don't say anything, believe me, we will still be alive despite the fact that George and Simone are going to react to what we would consider to be a bad movie or at least a movie a lot of us don't like. But if you leave a comment that's just normal and civil, they will notice that one movie is beloved and eventually watch it. So anyway, please watch "Shin Godzilla" (2016), it's a masterpiece ;)

Bryan Moriarty

Thank you for setting a clear expectation for all of us. If I may, I think it's also worth noting, if it's not already obvious, that the reverse is also true. Just because someone else loves a movie that you dislike/hate, doesn't mean it's ok to trash them for it either. Art, after all, is 100% subjective. It's ok to just let people like things.

Tyler Foster

I voiced a mild personal objection to one of the movies coming up on the channel about a week ago, and I was a little concerned about what people might say back, but I was pleased to see that even the dissenters, for the most part, kept it civil, and I don't think anyone came after me. Maybe you two are just good at deleting comments, and of course you made this post based on something, but I have to say that I think Cinebinge is already doing pretty well at creating an agreeable community. Keep up the good work.

Richard

P.S. now go get your shinebox!

Simon Clifton

I sincerely apologise if I inadvertently set anyone off with my film suggestion(s) that I think started this - as a self declared old fart, I do sometimes misjudge how to approach these comments sections and if I kicked off a slanging match that might have escalated then I am truly sorry - happy to learn!

Christopher Greenley

I'm in total agreement! Let's just love each other and not fight over silly things.👍👍

Matt O'Keefe

Now he needs to watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

bostonate

I guess I’m not in the comments enough to notice it’s been a problem, but I’m glad it’s being called out. Don’t be a dick, peeps.

FaceMustache

I’m new to your patreon (been watching for a while), so I haven’t had the chance to notice, but that’s an unfortunate situation. Especially from paying members.

Travis

Hi— can you link me to the drama? Please and thank you

Squ33ky

Thanks I hate when people are complete jerks towards others Just because of Opinions.. Movies and Art in general is Subjective.. Will I ever see a Kurasawa film on here not sure.. would be interesting for sure Peace all

Blips of Our Lives

I think often we forget the difference between debate and defending / fighting. Theres really not much tolerance for the intolerant these days. I don’t know of anyone who wakes up and wishes to be insulted, especially in such a group where its designed for fun, very inclusive, and for the appreciation of these wonderful art forms / mediums. I think we all want to have a good time here, together right? Unlike what Joe Fox says in You’ve Got Mail, there’s no need to “Go to the Mattresses” over something so awesome as this group! I hope everyone has a wonderful day / night and can’t wait for more fantastic times from this smashingly great collective of film and tv reactions, and those who comment AND make it such a lively, friendly, uniquely solid place to spend some good time at / with.

Ronny Boss

Very well said. Stay Awesome guys. Speaking of favorite films and childhood memories. What are some of y'alls favorite childhood films and or memories? Mine was watching Legend at probably too young an age and acting out my favorite scenes in my back yard

Mat

I think your dealing with different generations and how they express themselves which is why you should review Clint Eastwood’s Gand Torino. And if any of these pusscakes disagree they can eat a 😛

Hamesque

Make cinelove, not cinewar.

Merlin's Merkin

Wild how Simone and George even need to say this. Some of yall need to reevaluate your shit and realize that this is a community of people that exists to appreciate films of all sorts, to enjoy watching films of all sorts, and to discuss the merits of these movies with one another in a civil manner. Why you'd think there's any room here for negative bullshit is beyond me. You're literally paying to be here. If you don't like it then go away.

Thijs

Sorry to hear that this is a step that has become necessary to implement, but I am glad that you are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that the comment sections stays healthy. I will never understand the reason to insult someone just because they have a different opinion than your own, especially over movies/series that are made to entertain. Nobody is forcing anyone to watch something they do not enjoy, no reason to lash out at others who do enjoy it. Try to keep it positive and/or a discussion rather than mud throwing.

MasterElodin

I was often annoyed when some movie I have never even heard of wins in these polls. But after I got through all reactions of movies/shows I know, I started to watch the other stuff because I like their commentary style and thought why not. And man, I have discovered some of my new favourite movies and directors through these. It has opened my mind so much and I'm now a lot less afraid to try new stuff because I've found some genuinely great movies on here. Of course there are some that I still didnt enjoy but for the most part it has just widened my horizon of great movies.

Victor / Gooric

Did this start with the Expanse? It seems to happen in other reaction communities where the reactors dislike a tv show or movie, and groups start to form around those thoughts!

Stephanie Bedworth

Just for the record, whenever I poke fun or rag on a bad movie, I am in no way making fun of anyone who might enjoy that particular movie. God knows I love my fair share of cheesy, bad films. Hopefully none of my comments have ever been taken personally. They were certainly never meant that way.

Joanthan Skidmore

Be excellent to me and any Kiwi's out there and watch THE WORLDS FASTEST INDIAN! It's such a feel good movie, everyone will be chill and happy! :)

J.R.

off topic by a mile but... RIP RARBG and my condolences George.

BND

I'm taking a break from this page for a while, I do enjoy your reactions so I'll definitely re-sub at some point in the future, but the comments section has just gotten a bit out of hand for me. I like interacting with fellow patrons to discuss the movie you just watched and other movies we'd like to see, but there's certain people on here that seem to think they're the moral arbiters of what can and can't be said, even when something is said in jest they start going off about how and why that person is wrong and calling them names. For some reason your comments section seem to be a lot more divisive than others, I suppose it's good that people are passionate about the movies they love but no reason to be hostile about it.

2026-09-17 05:00 It’s one reason why I don’t like the idea of cinecringe. I understand everyone has their right to have an opinion on whether a movie is good or not. But cinecringe movies could be someone’s favorite movie, and it just seems rude to openly mock it. To me it just seems similar to someone in the comments calling someone’s recommendation stupid.

Shibby

Thanks for all your hard work it is really appreciated.

Cory Garron

Thank you Simone and George for the distraction. I, like Simone, am from a small Canadian town (East COAST), and my home community is currently being threatened by our province's largest wildfire on record. So thank you for the distractions during this time.

Bobby Belanger

Beautiful sentiment, thank you for calling out such negativity. Let’s all try to be better. Please watch ‘Ted Lasso’ 😉

MasterElodin

I know this may be a weird place to ask but what is you guys' favourite reaction on here ? As I said in another comment I discovered lots of great movies and would love to find some more great ones so please let me know :)

Ben

People arguing in the comments? that definitely should be called out and stopped, it's ridiculous that people would get so heated on a Patreon comment section. Criticising movies we dislike? I dunno, I honestly don't see the harm. Obviously I would never call someone stupid for liking a movie I dislike, but if I was just talking about the specific movie and the problems I have with it, I'd just consider that a part of the discussion. George & Simone do it too, like when they talk about Speed 2 for example, it's just a bit of fun! it's hardly something to get upset about. Some movies have a lot of problems and it's satisfying to express that and see that some people share your opinions, other movies are just fun to poke fun at! I would hope the latter example isn't being lumped in with the former. Obviously tone is hard to get across in text sometimes, but if I ever make a comment insulting a movie, I do it without malice and I certainly never mean to offend people.

Michael Langille

LOL, I never really read the comments until now. I don't get it, I love the channel, and George and Simone are a hoot, but what are we commenting on? The movie? Their reaction to the movie, or our reaction to their reaction to the movie.... I got lost somewhere. I like the stuff, hence here for the stuff. Keep doing the stuff please. Thank you. :)

Richard Maurer

As a new Patron of yours I really appreciate that you're keeping an eye on the insults and such that occur in the comments section. I recently left another reactor's patreon and one of several reasons that I left was that people were allowed to throw around insults over the most minor of differences ( I was called a idiot and a psycho for daring to say that a lot things in Harry Potter were "borrowed" from LotR - which is literally true). For clarification, would actual non-insulting criticism of the actions of non-specific commenters be considered a problem? For instance I find people who delete their comments during a discussion especially irritating, and I will sometimes comment on it. Would this be considered a problem?

Jade Richardson

Well this all happened before I got here y’all. Not on my watch, lol. ✌🏻

David Zabel

Enhance your calm, everybody.

Pompidou

Well damn. I just signed up a few days ago and I was looking forward to being a right bastard. But I guess I'll just have to be a decent human being instead. Stupid, sexy rules.

Deano

It saddens me that you need to remind people again about this

Jeff Norwood-Brown

Well, if you watched Paul, I wouldn’t need to be so angry.

FrancescoTakesItEasy

I never read the comments, is it really that bad? What the fuck is wrong with people? Chill, everybody.

Gaius Frakking Baltar

It's ridiculous how obnoxiously rude people here can be sometimes. If everyone would just accept the simple fact that MY opinions matter far more than all other subscribers, life would be much simpler! 🙃

ArabianPrince

comments are a great tool, abusing it is not going to get your point across

FischerMax98

I made a comment a few polls ago (meant as obvious joke), but if it caused any bad feelings, my apologies . From the posts I have read, everyone seems pretty cool.

Den

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little worried. You mean to tell me there's a chance Street Fighter The Movie isn't the best film ever?!

Alan Kobb

Thank you for all of your work to provide a great, active community for all of us. Come on, people. George and Simone do a lot of work to provide us with all of their great reactions. Please try to give them a little break from having to micro-manage your temper!

Martin

Gotta love the internet. Right, guys?

Hathaum

If this is still happening, it is a shame. Good for you guys to put out a reminder, not just because it is the rule, but because this kind of behavior diminishes and hurts the community. Much love! ❤️

Andreas Bergerstedt

I like Jar Jar Binks. ... Bring out your wrecking ball. Give your best shot.

Bryan Moriarty

I'm sorry that you have to keep making this reminder.

Jon

... it's amazing to me (and REALLY sad) that you have to post that, again and again....... why, people, why ? 🤷🏻 it's just fuckin movies... Jesus...

Richard Maurer

Just to play the devil's advocate, while I would never attack someone personally, I would say that I find, for instance, Harry Potter to be derivative, childish trash (possibly with nicer words). I would hope this wouldn't be considered a personal insult (because it's not), but it would rather be taken in the spirit it's intended, that is a reasonable criticism of Harry Potter. So, would I be in the right here or not? This is a (semi) serious question.

James Falato

Keeping Civil in Civility is... the Civil thing to do... TY

Blips of Our Lives

I dont know about anyone else, but so far, ive only felt welcome here! Lots of cool folks who enjoy great reactions. The only negative thing I have to say, is george still hasnt released his secrets to having lush hair like that! ha I must know at some point. jk But seriously, I think all of you are wonderful and I would highly recommend anyone that wants a good community, come here. Lets all try to better to others, giving ten times the positivety we could ever expect to recieve for ourselves, and we might just change a few peoples days from good to bad, to take the low moments ang give them an escape to jovial nature of your videos. Lets be the antidote folks, not the poison. :) Have a great day folks!

David Zabel

Enhance your calm, patreons.

Joe

Does anyone know what happened to the collection of shows at the top? It's disappeared. The only way to browse through shows and films is to scroll through everything.

Michael Langille

I only drop in from time to time, dropping CLUE-s and some good movies, even those not OSCAR worthy. Even if I don't care for the movie right off, we watch the reaction, sometimes resulting in just watching the full movie with you, :), little tiny people in the corner of my screen.

Maarten Martens

It's a shame that this post is relevant again. Personally I have only experienced this once on CineBinge, when I was wondering if the reaction format would work for Donnie Darko, and somebody thought I meant this in a belittling way. Trying to clear this up only invoked more trash talk and it was at that moment I realized this was why the post was up in the first place. Thanks for the reminder and I'm glad this place is being looked after. Keep up the great work!

Jared Winn

I stay out of the comments for the most part so I've never seen anything worth addressing, but the fact that y'all need to make multiple messages about this is terrible. Remember everyone "Don't forget to love each other". <3

Wiser Soze

A good rule of thumb: Before you speak (comment) ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.

Gary Brown

Simone and george, i'm glad yall addressed this because i rarely comment because i'm always afraid i might get hostility because i don't hold back my criticisms, but i'm always respectful of others . so thank u for all yall do for us.

Will

Maybe I just haven't noticed, because once a comment section gets too busy I don't even bother paying attention...but are people really getting mean about movie/tv show OPINIONS??? Any artform is subjective, chill out people.

Mo's Not Mortal

Dang, I just came back to this Patreon. It was so peaceful when I left. What tf happened!? I thought everyone was on the same page?

Purple Dragon Knight

I am so happy Bill & Ted's made it into your lexicon! Party On, Simone and George!

RogueRN

I *just* joined a few days ago. This is disappointing to read about, but I’m glad it’s being addressed, and addressed ‘aggressively’ (for lack of a better term).

Jesse Weston

The world is hurting, wars are everywhere and everyone is disagreeing with each other, hate is filling peoples hearts and we are taking our pain out on each other, let’s not let that happen.
