Exactly, which is why I don't blame them, but do blame the producers of the mmp, i.e. Disney et al.

The masses are unwashed, and if you don't want to get yourself sullied by their odor, don't go to the shows that you are assigning to their tastes.
Um . . . once again the issue isn't one of class segregation, but of a few producers who are, consciously and deliberately, doing great harm to the theater medium.
Frankly, there seems to be a lot of concern about the people helping keep the lights on. I say welcome.
