Check out the TFA Plinkett review. He's got an entire section on "The Diversity Awakens".. complains about it then says that "kids don't care about diversity" and that it's just a corporate ploy.
God damn you're on fire in this thread. Definitely gonna be looking out for your posts in the future. Thanks for being an ally.
Also see the Ghostbusters stuff where they claimed that the "controversy" surrounding the movie, which included Leslie Jones getting temporarily harassed off of Twitter, was just something played up by Sony Pictures to advertise the movies.
Keep in mind, he tries to frame it like "oh yeah, diversity is generally a good thing!" but in the same breath criticizes said diversity. It's yet another example of these guys being completely out of touch.
That decency is left leaning. Do you know what Right leaning people do? Left and Right are just social and political alignment.
Removed of all context, sure.
Doing cool things for girls is bad because disney gets money. Should have bought them dictionaries instead.
Won't someone think of the poor white males who dominate every corner of this industry. THEY DESERVE TO BE HEARD TOO!
they responded to a woman expressing opinions regarding sexism and diversity by spending an extended period talking about how she expressed them too bitchily. it's a standard sexist trope for shutting down women's opinions.
Your entire argument that she 'just isn't being nice enough' is fucking weak. She's saying white men don't get the final word on shit not intended to speak to them. Any reasonable person among white male critics would get out the fucking way and acknowledge shit ain't about them all the time. Instead, it's this shitty tone-policing, with the RLM looking at innocuous fluff interviews and calling her a 'nasty' woman for that, as if that language ain't fucking loaded already.
Idk after watching the review they more or less seem aligned with exactly what you're saying.

What's superficial about Black Panther, Wonder Woman, or Captain Marvel?
Someone didn't read the interview because she very clearly talked about how she wanted things to change.
Lol, That's pretty much what I got from the people defending it in the thread. But was that essentially what they said in the video, cuz that could be way more damaging of a view than the causal mysoginism that is currently the focus.
Like, what does that even mean it wasn't made for them? Is A Wrinkle in Time about the black experience in America or something? How was it not made for 40 yr old male audience members?
The solution to that problem has been said by many people for decades on decades. Women, minorities, LGBTQ+ peoples have explained the solution to the issues that exist in and outside Hollywood since before the word Hollywood existed. The solutions exist and when they aren't implemented it's only because there's a contingent of people interested in the status quo.
"Look F-E-M-A-L-E-S, I understand your plight, issues and concerns, but just don't talk about them TOOO sternly ok? Otherwise you sound like a bitch. Me and all my guy friends agreed. #progressive #notsexist"
