This is the trend in Hollywood these days, every crap movie that stars a female and bombs is somehow linked to sexists and toxic masculinity. This is like the fatty blaming Mcdonalds for being one, how about trying to do interesting movies, with great characters and writing. Or how about something original and not a comic book or the continuation of a franchise? Dudes had zero issues shelling out money for the Terminator, Alien and Wonder Woman movies because those were tough women placed into bad situations and had to survive, there was never the in your face "WOKE" nonsense you are bombarded with today, anyone want to see a horrific example just watch 2 minutes of the CW's Batwoman with that skinny supermodel Ruby Rose or whatever her name is.
This is it. There are lots of great movies with female leads that guys love. Kill Bill is a great example. The original Star Wars trilogy had Princess Leia who, while not the lead, was a beloved character and a total badass. This is where studios go wrong. They just shoehorn in female/minority/whatever characters who aren’t interesting or well written, then throw a fit and blame sexism/racism/homophobia for their movie bombing. No guys, the movie didn’t bomb because we’re sexist. It bombed because you made a shit movie and shoehorned in social justice-y nonsense, thus already alienating half your customer base.
I thought the point of all this nonsense was to be inclusive? Well, inclusivity cuts both ways. You can’t be inclusive by marginalizing another group, even if that group is the apparently worse than Hitler evil white hetero cis male demographic. That’s not being inclusive, that’s just swinging the hate pendulum to the other side. Like, it’s fine to have movies that are more aimed toward one group or another, everything doesn’t have to be for me, that’s fine. The problem comes when you openly mock or attack another group just to win brownie points from the idiot twitter mob. It doesn’t even work anyway. People are wise to it and they don’t like it. By all means, though, if you want to keep making bombs, go for it.
My point is, make good movies, make good characters, and we’ll watch them and enjoy them. Don’t blame us for your inability to produce quality content. The vast majority of people aren’t going to care one way or another if you have a woman or a minority playing the lead character, and the few who do aren’t worth pandering or listening to anyway. Just give us good movies and we’ll throw money at you!
