Does every film now need some anti-male commentary?

Every second film I watch has some 'men are bad' statement to make. I'm beyond fed up of it all.

This film just had to have (SPOILERS BELOW);

- The head chef have a history of pressuring his staff to have sex with him. This lead to the whole 'mans folly' course where all the men get chased and the women sit inside chilling and bonding.

- That old dude who cheated on his wife, he had to be some pervy dude with a daughter watching him masturbate fetish.

- Tyler (Margots date) being a complete asshole. Demeaning her in one scene with her telling him he can't speak to her like that. Felt like a #SlayQueen moment for the misandrist viewers to cheer for her. Also he brought her there knowing she'd be killed, so she got to punch him in the face. The crowd goes wild! #SlayQueen

- You even had the whole Margot being a poor prostitute (that was the implication?) sub-plot. Like Last Night in Soho (2021). Prostitutes are helpless victims of the evils of men now, but on on the other hand some people try tell us that sex workers are stunning and brave and deserve all the respect and rights in the world. So are they fierce and self employed queens or poor 'rape' victims? I'm confused.

- The chefs mother was a victim of domestic abuse.

I swear you need to have this shit in your screenplay to get the film greenlit.

Yes, men are bad. However, WHITE men are the root to all evil.

You must be absolutely fucking retarded if you actually believe all shit you keep spewing, all races and sexes are capable of great evil. The notion that men are bad woman are perfect if just a product of liberal Hollywood brainwashing, if you ask me white women are the root to all evil, they the definition of entitled, spoiled, assholes and I refuse to let liberal Hollywood brainwash me into thinking other wise. No race or gender is better then other, and you better get that through your fucking head shit brain.

I like how quickly you went from all races and sexes are capable of evil to white women are the root of evil :)

Unfortunately so many movies nowadays seem to be anti-male. Especially anti-white male.

I didn’t think it was too bad because these weren’t just men. They were foodies, rich assholes, and/or professional chefs. The former two are obviously fair game and as for the latter: like politics and the theatre, 95% of that industry, male and female alike, are narcissistic scumbags.

The term "foodie" is about as stupid as possible.

Its a thing now and is really bad in a movie like this because you already know the hooker is going to survive. Kills the suspense.

Well at least this time around it wasn't just white men are bad. At least they represented all the races. White black Asian Hispanic and the dude with the chubby face he kind of looked a little Middle Eastern I'm not sure though. So not only did we have man-hating but we had diverse men-hating.

Well I guess it's a start.

I've got some grief for making this thread but it's a blatant thing that's happening, if it were a once in a blue moon event it wouldn't be worth mentioning but when every second or third recently released horror film I watch has some form of 'men are bad' message, it just becomes eye roll inducing.

No but it helps
