On the subject of airmen. I think less than 100 women fly fighter jets out of maybe 5000 total.

There's a female pilot in the new top gun movie. Based on the original 85 film, we know they pander strongly to gays. Well now they're obviously pandering to women. Because what are the odds that out of the thousands of fighter pilots in the us military, maverick would encounter one out of a hundred or so female pilots?


Guess who these ladies are:

Go hang out on 4chan or something. Maybe your white male victim complex will gain more traction there.

Maybe they are pandering to me as straight white male bc I dont want a sausage fest and would like a chick in there. 

I dont know who the female pilot is but I like Jennifer Connelly and this Monica Barbaro looks hot so i'm ok with it. Sorry you're upset queer.





I'm not upset about it. I don't care.

So not enough time to name any examples that you're complaining about?


You've got wrong. I'm not complaining. I'm discouraging it and discussing how pointless it is.

Wait a minute...


The Top Gun program is a training school.


You think it's unrealistic for a female pilot to be attending a training program?

I don't have a victim complex. I'm not complaining about anything. I'm saying the complaining is pointless and should stop.

Pander away. People want it.

Yet you posted this thread. You might as well have signed on and posted I'm a bigot who wants ever role to be a white man.

I should have known you were a nut when you claimed Inglourious Basterds was a "terrible movie."

Also, I'm sorry that you occasionally have to look at a gay, trans, and/or black person in a movie or TV show occasionally. The horror!

We're all over here enjoying the massive amounts of quality content being pumped out by multiple platforms by the day. You don't HAVE to join, my guy.

I posted the thread just for something to chew on. It's not a big deal.

The point of the thread is to stop complaining about pandering and virtue signaling and to let go of any fantasy it will backlash.

I'm perfectly fine with it all because it's what the movie going public wants.

You're not getting it. I don't care. I'm saying the people who do need to let it go.

Try not to be so testy.


Oh and basterds was terrible.

You're the only one I see complaining about it, and you're getting backlash because you sound like a bigoted a-hole not because of some Hollywood conspiracy.

I haven't complained about hollywood pandering or virtue signaling not once. And no, there's no "hollywood conspiracy" and i stated in a previous post there's no agenda. Market research and focus group studies aren't a "conspiracy".

You should go back and read my comments. You're testy and confused.

So all of you out there hanging on to some desperate fantasy or hope that it will backlash, well give that shite up now. It hasn't and it won't. The pandering will continue

So when marvel coughs up some homo super hero or netflix hires a black actor to portray Achilles (one of our more egregious pandering moments)

Those of you waiting and hoping for your SJW "backlash" tipping point. Let it go, it's not coming.


Oh so you're doing the Trump thing where you say a bunch of mean, nasty shite and then go "But I would NEVER say that! I'm saying THAT'S what what THEY would say!"

These comments don't sound like a guy that doesn't care. It's pretty clear a rise in minority and LGBTQ+ actors/characters has gotten to you. At least own it, my guy.

You're complaining but ok lets say you're not. You're saying there is pandering but providing no legitimate examples of it. You cant just say it is like its a fact but not give anything to back it up.

But im done, you're an idiot

He def got triggered by the announcement that a black woman will have the code name "007" when Craig returns as Bond in the newest film.

"ZOMG, A BLACK, FEMALE JAMES BOND?!?!?! MUH WHITE, BRITISH MEN!!!" while not even understanding what was actually going to happen in the film.

Nope.

The first one is Cmdr. Becky Calder. She was the first woman to complete TOPGUN.

The second one is CDR Leslie Mintz. She completed TOPGUN too.

This is LT Emily Rixey. She completed TOPGUN too:



There's probably more by now, but I can't find a list of TOPGUN graduates.

Seems like it would almost be odd if Maverick didn't cross paths with a female fighter pilot.

Emily is pretty cute. Love a brunette with a smattering of freckles on her nose like that.
