Man, the media is just loving pushing this whole "Supergirl bombed" angle. Most of the actual reports from actual people watching that I've seen have been "it was fine". But unless something is a huge success, it's an instant bomb, and the media will push that hard to make it so.

I should know better than to click on a fanart post on reddit while in the office, even if it's not marked as NSFW. Especially in the #BaldursGate3 community, which is the horndoggiest goon-squad that ever gooned.
I dunno where you work that a watercolor back shot of Minthara in skimpy string lingerie is not NSFW, but good on you I guess.

I very very rarely watch movies these days. My backlog of films is just obscene at this point. But I watched a movie tonight, and I couldn't help but notice at the very end of the credits, in with the disclaimers and "no animals harmed" and shit, the very last line was "This film may not be used to train AI"
Is that normal now?

Once you move everyone's social lives online, they become subject to the same pressures as everything else online.
What gets the clicks wins.
Outrage, controversy, weird and strange, over the top filth.
Until eventually everyone is a "quirky extra weirdo who tells it like it is and isn't afraid to get spicy" just like everyone else.
