You can be that, without calling for violence. The moment you do otherwise, you are a coward unless you’re fighting yourself.

You can try to justify it any way you want. If you call for someone else to commit violence in your stead, you are a coward.

The answer is no, most of these people calling for violence are cowards themselves.

Isn’t that the problem though? Pandering by creating overly masculine women doing things that men traditionally do?

Idk, maybe I’m over simplifying it - but I’ve known a decent amount of sexists that love Alien. I don’t think she was overly masculine, nor do I think her role was overly masculine. Idk.

I think it really depends on why the story has a female lead.

I think Alien is a good example, Ripley could have been male and it really wouldn’t have changed the plot that much. If I’m not mistaken Ripley actually was male at one point in the movies writing.

Doesn’t matter that the shift happened, it happened, Sigourney Weaver fucking smashed it out of the park and the rest is history.

If the story is good and happens to have a female lead, I don’t think people are actually against it. The Menu is the first movie to come to mind, I don’t think anyone said anything about the lead in that being female (although being a lead in an ensemble cast with damn near equivalent amounts of screen time is kind of meaningless). I think what people are against is blatant pandering because it usually indicates that the product is poor.

Edit: this is my limited, anecdotally rooted opinion. There are probably a decent amount of people who will just not watch a female lead. I’ve known women who won’t watch something or play a video game without a female lead or the ability to create a female character, so I assume the same has to be true for men.

I think that’s the point, right? Outrage generates interaction, a Democrat ‘admitting’ that they (Republicans) are right about immigration is the perfect hook.

Problem is there are too many old people misguiding young people, the capacity for change doesn’t matter if the same mistakes will be repeated by the next generation.

Something tells me you needed the hysterectomy with or without Trump.

Ah yes, I guess I should have provided the caveat of ‘Go fight for yourselves if that’s something you want so badly.’ but I guess I didn’t do a good enough job of making my point.

Weak bladders beware, with this one trick you will wake up early. Not the way you want.

That’s great, if you feel the need to fight for yourself then do so. If I didn’t have people who rely on me, I’d probably be dropping everything to do so.

I can’t. I’ll help how I can, I’ll try to make the world a better place. I cannot simply drop everything and fight, my mom needs to eat.

I’m going to avoid calling you insults in this first response.

I’m very clearly stating that I’m unwilling to fight, and you won’t see a single comment suggesting otherwise on my profile. I dislike people who cry war from their comfy battlestations at home. If you can’t fight, for disability reasons or whatever you can help without calling for others to fight for you. Otherwise you’re just a coward who’s making things worse.

ITT, and every thread about Trump, : ‘Fight guys! I’ll sit here with my tendies and watch how it goes. “They’ve picked the wrong fight!” and all that, carry on!’

When you’re asking yourselves how the Germans let Nazis happen, remember: if you haven’t shot a fascist yet, you’re one of the Germans that let Nazis happen. Stop calling for other people to fight, you fucking cowards. Go fight for yourselves.

Edit: for what it’s worth, I’m American and will not be flying across the country to throw my life away.

Aptly put, I appreciate that there are people like you who still want to find the good in people.

Me, personally, I’m pissed. You can only fail 1+1 so many times before you’re deemed defective.

They really do invoke the thought of a goldfish, don’t they?

Let games die

‘Fell for’

I’m sorry, it’s a very simple conclusion that the genocide will be worse under Trump. There is quite literally no way you can interpret otherwise - he has made it very clear what his plans for Israel are.

They didn’t ‘fall’ for anything, they’re just fucking stupid. They didn’t think, at all.

Looks like famines back on the menu for red states, get the fuck out while you can.
