The person admitted it on his Facebook page, Down With Disney's Treatment of Franchises and Its Fanboys, and it sounds like he's serious about it. He claimed to have created bot accounts to cause the audience score to drop. His post included a screenshot of the Tomatometer from the review aggregate site. Here's what he wrote:
Guess who's back? And yes it was me that caused this. While that vile troll page No More Legends had me banned, they set in motion my ultimate revenge plan against a person and a fanbase that attacked me and my friends like Brendan who had to leave his page Alliance to Defend the DCEU & Star Wars EU ou of intimidation as well as the good people in the The Alliance to Preserve the Expanded Universe group and The New Canon Criticism Page.
Thanks to friends of mine who taught me a thing or two about Bot Accounts, I used them to create this audience score through Facebook accounts created that subsequently logged into Rotten Tomatoes who rigged this score and still keep it dropping.
It astounds me how I successfully bring out the worst in all of you and turn all of you against Disney. The Anti-EU fans bought this on themselves and I did what had to be done.
Shall we create something similar for Avengers: Infinity War?
He sounds like a classic evil villain but some would say that Disney is an evil empire, but who cares? This just sounds immature and is probably trolling for attention. I wouldn't be surprised if the audience score was rigged but I wouldn't be surprised if it was legit either.
