Nobody has the same criticism for the dozens of inaccurate movies made about it.

“We’ve had autistic children who are obsessed with Titanic… they love coming here and going on it because they know all the facts and all the figures,” he said.
He said: “It never even crossed our minds that there would be any backlash.”
“Because all we saw were £ symbols and a chance to profit, safe in the knowledge we could hold autistic children in front of ourselves to shield us and deflect any criticism. Next year we have a bumper opening of 9/11, 7/7, and Hindenburg rides! That way we can cover all forms of transport obsessed autistic children to ensure we can never be held accountable for our vile profiteering from death and disaster.”

James Cameron earned over $650,000,000 for directing Titanic, if you want to pearl clutch about profiteering start with him. Must be exhausting being so righteous all the time.

Nice whataboutism.
Just because one thing is shit doesn’t mean another can’t also be.
