[:autism:]To be fair in the pilot episode 2 of the main characters spend about 5 minutes sperging about whether the word "girl" is anti-feminist and it comes off as hella preachy, so she may have a point when she talks about the characters being ~so woke uwu~ .She seems like the type to enjoy a superhero show that was basically designed to pander to Tumblr.[/:autism:]
That and how the characters were sperging on about how there "hadn't been a female superhero before" made me never want to watch the show after catching a glimpse. First impressions are important and if your first impression is "pander to Tumblr," you're off to a rocky start with anyone who thinks that kind of bullshit is retarded. It'd also piss off a bunch of actual comics fans because it's patently false that there haven't been other female superheroes before and because 'girl' is used for stylistic purposes. It sounds less clunky than some of the other choices when it shows up.
But, yeah, figures that she'd like that kind of condescending pandering bullshit. A lot of these Tumblr types don't give a damn about the actual quality of the story or any of that, just that their politics are being pandered to. While it's all well and good for a story to get political or to have some sort of message, it has to be handled with some tact and a deeper understanding of the subject at hand. The Tumblr type shit does not, just spouting off buzzwords and looking for discrimination where there is none.
