  • Yeah, I don't know. I feel much more sorry for the girls and women who get hit by that hatred. And they definitely do. Online and sometimes offline as well. I see it in school (in Germany) how some boys as young as 12 already bought into the incel narratives and treat the girls accordingly. This has to be stomped out.

  • Because a lot of the people here never were the victim of a crime and think they never will be. Crime is something that happens "to others". Especially sex crimes like rape is something people here feel especially apologetic for. Those poor rapists... I wonder why that is.

  • What are your thoughts on how to actually prevent crime? What is your plan for the victims? What should happen with the people who have been tortured, raped or killed by the criminals you care so much about? What about the children, parents, friends, loved ones of the victims?

  • Wasn't the trouble some people had with the drag queen shows the dances? I don't know the situation in the US(?), but that's what some people disliked about some of the shows in Germany.

    Here is a video of one of these shows that was a program for kindergarden kids: https://youtu.be/p2zsZHb_Y7E?feature=shared

    It's dishonest to leave it out of the discussion when people didn't have a problem with the clothing in the first place.

    I am no pro in pedagogy or whatever. Not sure if that's super harmful or whatever tale the alt right tried to spin. But it's definitely not just some people with a cleavage or other types of sexy clothes.

  • When people accept something happening in a male character they do not accept in a female character that is at least sexist. If Rey was male perhaps there still would have been some whining, but the sheer amount of angry men tears online over Rey being too good is in part due to her being a woman.

  • Why is it woke when female or "minority" characters are this way but not when white male characters are this way? Your points describe the majority of movies featuring a male white protagonist.

    And how is Galadriel not the way she is described in the original IP?

  • I wonder why people didn't lose their mind over that Lego movie being political. Why is "average Joe is the real hero when he just lets go of restrictive norms" not a political statement? But "Barbie is the hero in her own movie by abolishing restrictive norms" is woke/political?

  • As someone who was in the same shoes as the person you reacted to: I was absolutely repulsed. It's the main reason why I waited until my late thirties to get a partner for life.

    When I got the slightest whiff of the men being with me because he liked that I was short / skinny / childlike that was the end of the relationship. It's not only superficial, but also highly questionable to find your partner attractive because of these traits.
