Finally, someone in Hollywood does something good for a change
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/alit...43064.html
Quote:When she was just 15 months old, Tilly Lockey, from the north of England, fought the battle of her life against meningococcal septicemia. She survived; however, both her hands needed to be amputated.
Tilly, now 13 and an advocate for kids with prosthetics, received a surprising gift from the creators of the new film Alita: Battle Angel : a set of state-of-the-art bionic hands.
The film is the ultimate girl power story of acceptance, technology, humanity … not to mention cyborgs who are given bionic limbs to fight a futuristic war.
The hands were created in partnership with Open Bionics and 20th Century Fox to make sure the limbs could do things like grasp and move properly and weren’t just aesthetic.
James Cameron, who produced the film, is a big fan of Tilly’s.
“Tilly has grown up to be an incredible person and has never let her disability hold her back in anyway,” he said.

Did I say that Hollywood has never done anything good? No, I did not.
You're post is an attempt at a strawman.
The truth is, the past few years have seen almost nothing but hostility and hatred coming out of Hollywood, because of their reaction to Trump being elected president. They've focused their energy on trying to highlight racism, sexism, homophobia, etc to prove that America is a bad place and Orange Man Bad.

It's a refreshing change of pace after this whole Jussie Smollett travesty.
Or Kathy Griffin
Or Madonna
Or De Niro
Or Midler
Or Reiner
Or Milano
Or Baldwin
On & On & On....
