I know what you mean. They did get into a huff about toxic masculinity in Deadpool when...
Wade (before he became Deadpool) allowed his girlfriend to peg him for International Woman's Day and you could see that he didn't enjoy it. And they thought it would've been better if he did enjoy it since it would be less toxic or something.

So a man's not allowed to have preferences or say "no". He has to do whatever the woman wants, however and whenever she wants, and like it.

Does he also have to make her a nice supper every night and wear high heels and pearls while he vacuums the den?

I think it would have been funnier if he enjoyed it, but the movie as a whole was really funny, so I guess it's a moot point.
 
Guys, remember the "Can They Remake Final Fantasy VII Without Sexism?" article? Word has just gotten out that it's a Sokal-styled ruse cruise.

Controversy = money. Manufactured feminist outrage sells right now. If you're an artist, you produce what will earn you money if you want to continue getting paid. Take a look at any of the other usual suspects, who are making money producing complete garbage, or in the case of Quinn or Wu, nothing at all. I'm a little jealous that I didn't think of this first.
 
I wonder if the Mary Sue will issue a response about this...
Doubt it. SJWs have a knee-jerk reaction without doing further research to just about anything and when it's revealed to be bullshit they just quietly pretend they never said anything about it. I have an SJW on my Facebook who does this all the time.

If you actually create something, SJWs will find something problematic to get angry about.

So the best kind of creator from an SJW perspective is someone who never actually makes anything at all.

That, or they insist that it "spurred dialogue we so desperately need" (as when, for instance, it's discovered that the swastika on the SJW's car was spray-painted on by the SJW himself) or that "even if it didn't happen, it could've happened, so we were still right to assume it did".

In a fair world it would have killed not only this site, but others that did something similar.

But, you know...

I doubt their captive audience cares enough, starts a conversation after all (a very loaded, toxic, accusatory driven conversation plagued by fallacy and bad faith... but a conversation that can generate more cli... progress)
 
I sense butthurt....

Boo fucking hoo. You could try being happy for that kid, but no.

Oh wow. Just goes to show how easy it is to exploit progressive themes.

I wonder if the Mary Sue will issue a response about this...

If most SJWs and feminists did background checks, then there wouldn't be any pedos or apologists.

I'll agree that Zara's death was a bit overlong.

But I'll counter that by saying it was funny as Hell because of it's length, a very minor character being thrown about like that is fucking absurd.

Lighten up cocksuckers, maybe then actual people will like you.

At least they're asking for people's opinions this time. Most of their articles have the tone: "This is Gospel and if you disagree you're a problematic shitlord".

You have to admit the tweet itself is worded in a surprisingly open-minded fashion for TMS.

I skimmed the review. In a way, I am strangely impressed. Not a single mention of high heels. But I am being facetious. Other than that his opinion was pretty weak and the article was, as usual, very misleading.

See, I've figured out how TMS twisted this one. Read the following excerpt from the article:
So, the only thing that really characterizes her is that one phone call concerning her upcoming wedding. This is the only thing that really keeps her from being just another face in the crowd, so it’s the only possible thing the movie could be punishing her for, and it fits so neatly into a stereotypically “woman” category that it can lead to only one conclusion: Jurassic World is punishing Zara for being a woman.

You've got to love the sinister-sounding non sequitur he cooks up here."It can only lead to one conclusion, you guys! Jurassic World hates women!"

No it doesn't, you unperceptive, weaselly fuck. And this is why:

The author does not elaborate on what specifically Zara is addressing in regards to her wedding or, even more importantly, what happens immediately after she does this. Now first let me say that traditionally, weddings in the western world are widely viewed as happy and joyous events that one should look forward to being involved in. Without context, one who has not seen Jurassic World or was not paying close attention to Zara's dialogue during that scene could assume that talking about her wedding means planning innocently about the kind of dress she will wear and the varieties of food that she wants to have served for her guests at the reception and just how wonderful her new life with her fiance will be!

This is what she actually says:
[in a childish, selfish tone]

...because it's MY wedding!
...
No, Alec's not having a "bachelor party"!
...
Because all his friends are animals!

Literally immediately after this dialogue, Zach and Gray, the two boys Zara was supposed to be taking care of while instead choosing to make selfish last minute arrangements to her wedding, took advantage of her self-absorbed planning session and sprinted off to do their own thing. Because of Zara's greedy behavior during this phone call and her decision to spend time making final adjustments to her wedding to ensure that it is all about her instead of the two boys she was tasked to escort, she fails to do her job and the boys are put in serious danger many times after this moment.

One recurring theme you will notice when you study most of the deaths in the Jurassic Park movies is that often times, the characters who are killed "had it coming to them" in some way or another. Gennaro the lawyer and Dennis Nedry from the first film are two great examples of this. So is Peter Ludlow, the greedy corporate exec who was killed by the baby Tyrannosaurus at the end of The Lost World. Often there is something about the character of an individual who dies in a Jurassic Park film that at best makes you feel something along the lines of, Sucks for them to be eaten, though they weren't very nice. At least it wasn't Jeff Goldblum, and at worst fills you with a sense of satisfaction knowing that the fat motherfucker who stole away your chances of seeing real dinosaurs using nothing but a can of Barbasol got his guts ripped out by a four-foot-tall frilled lizard.

So what was Zara's "crime" that allowed her to become a viable candidate for execution via two sets of razored Mosasaurus teeth? It wasn't, as the stupid fuck at TMS claims, "because she was a woman".

It was because she was a self-absorbed, controlling bridezilla who cared more about herself and her own happiness than the happiness and safety of the two children she was asked to take care of.

If anything, Zara was killed because she was not a woman at all.

I just want to say, that of all the people who could have posted this, you were the best choice.
