re: .

It's a one sided argument. The female characters do plenty of risky shite throughout the movie. But the men are the only ones judged as destructive psychos in a lot of these articles.

Lacour mansplaining this movie to me has triggered me clean out of my safe space.

how many bitch and moan fest threads are you going to start? get a fricking life

I’m in your head. You wanna suck on mine don’t you?

I am a dad of a little girl. I want my daughter to grow up to be independent, and self sufficient. I want her to be a strong woman that has goals and sets out to accomplish them. I don’t want her subverted by popular culture that portrays men to be idiots and the punchline of the joke. The universe Disney is creating here is fricking atrocious.

But, when you give third wave feminists the reigns to anything, this is what you're going to get - the militant dyke fiction that men are dumb and women should rule - or more to the extreme, men should be phased out of humanity.

Which is ironic and crushingly hypocritical given the den of sex offenders that is "Disney."

But by in large, The Last Jedi’s examination of gender politics does fit into this trilogy’s message that the true heirs to the power in this universe are not white men like Hux and Kylo but women and people of color.

I'm not threatened by Hollywood making women the heroes in movies. You might, but that's a you problem. I'll continue doing man shite.

Wtf are you talking about? No one feels fricking threatened. What are we being threatened with exactly?

The outrage has everything to do with the fact that the director took time out of his schedule during the making of this movie to further SJW idealism and not improve and/or focus on quality and consistent story telling within the Star Wars universe.

Instead of focusing on central characters already established we had the Laura Dern character being thrusted into our face (who was short-lived and not in the least bit interesting), AND we got the Rose character thrusted into our face (equally uninteresting).

Both of those characters were obviously a part of the feminism theme in the movie.

This paved the way for less focus on the already established characters (some women btw), such as Leia, Rey, Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker.

So now since half of those people are dead or eventually wont be around, and you've done very little to build up the other half that is still around, what does anyone have to care about now?



EITHER WAY:

This is a movie/tv board, any criticisms and/or praises are about a movie at the end of the day. I thought that was a given? No one is going through an existential crisis because of this movie and I think its bizarre you jump so far into what people are saying to assume that they somehow feel "threatened".

Of course not, its a movie, but since this is the movie/tv board, why don't you assume that to begin with and let people talk without making ridiculous conclusions?

Really? OP clearly feels threatened. Refer back to OP's quote on page one and his posts in this very thread.

Explain the threat here. Please.

If the roles were reversed in the scenario, would you still be a whiny little bitch about it?

This really is an indictment of your insecurity as a man more than it is some "anti man" conspiracy.

I just saw it this morning. The SJW/Feminist themes are strong all the way through this movie. If you can't see the war going on against straight white males by Hollywood & the Media then I don't what to say to you. Wake up people.
