you know what’s really genuinely unsettling? the degree to which men fucking do not want to sympathize with/be interested in women.
male audiences will happily watch a dozen superhero shows, but then something like Agent Carter or Supergirl turn up and they’re panned from the first trailer and have to struggle for ratings. male audiences will watch countless installments of a franchise as long as it’s about men doing man things but the second a character like Rey or Furiosa or god forbid four entire female Ghostbusters steps up and takes a position of prominence it’s “pandering sjw bullshit”.
it’s not pandering. men just aggressively don’t want to have to be invested in a woman’s narrative and it’s really gross.
In case anyone was wondering, THIS is why Ghostbusters was a financial disappointment. Not because it was bad-because it wasn’t-but because men are fucking awful lmao.
Or maybe people are tired of reboots and you’re making this a gendered issue when it’s not????
Yeah you’re right, men got just as unreasonably angry about Jurassic World as they did for Ghostbusters.
Oh wait… no they didn’t. I wonder why?
