First let me get this out of the way. Hem. Well I know what certain viewers (older miserable trolls probably) thought of an autistic kid being portrayed as superior to the average man: they took offense to that and called it propaganda. Bahahaha!
and I’m not even really a feminist
You don’t say? I would have never figured that one out if you hadn’t bravely admitted it. Honestly, I took a very good guess where this post was headed from just reading your first line. Tee-hee. Thoughts on all of this? Speaking as someone belonging to the generation the mighty baby boomers and a large chunk of Gen X greatly detests (icky Millennials and, since lots of those over 40 love to call every person under the age of 35 a millennial, I guess I also belong to generation SnapGram Z), I have this to say... all this was fun to see. Yep, that’s pretty much it! Now did others from my generation (except for proudly anti-PC hypocrites) take issue with this? Meh, hardly. The movie is receiving bad press... and it isn’t exactly for its obscene characters and what not.
But don’t kid yourself, back in the rad+simple pre-millennial days, many people, of all different backgrounds, complained regularly about what the world of entertainment had to offer. Difference is... social media wasn’t a thing back then. That said, u can look up tons of old footage of amusing news reports relating to people Hollywood offended. Funny enough, a large number of these people happened to be conservative, as anti-PC as they come, and yet they’ve always been so fragile. (Today they can’t stomach “satanic Hollywood” preaching about progress and stuff.) Hell, forget why the Hays Code existed back in old Hollywood? Hint: it wasn’t cuz of sensitive young progressive people. It was the very, very opposite. Lol.
Anyhow, patronizing feminism? Hey, as long as it’s feminism and girls are portrayed as tough, then older generations and young conservative minds will take offense to this and shout SJW! So you do you, modern Hollywood! :D [Now here’s comes my favorite people on MC!]

I think you misunderstood my comment... I meant that it seemed it was patronizing TO feminism/feminists.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.

Lol at SJW. If it walks like an SJW and talks like an SJW then it most likely is so. ROTFLMAO that SJWs don't like being called out on it.

Oh right. Conservatives were enraged my Princess Leia, Lara Croft, and Ripley. Oh wait ... or was it the complete opposite? Really am tired of partisan mud slingers.

Maybe I did. Darn it!
But naww, usually topics that start off this way go where I expect them to (“y’all can’t handle it, you’re a bunch of triggered SJWs!”). Lol, the irony with many so-called thick-skinned individuals that live to cry about political correctness and the modern generation (“get off my lawn!”) never ceases to amuse me.
In any case, these discussionss always persist (from this board all the way to the Captain Marvel board—which is filled with man babies complaining). Approach certain posts with caution and humor them in ways they don’t take kindly to.
