This is probably the fourth most insulting thing I've read on the internet. I mean, I know you didn't mean it, but still. Damn. The Internet, FTFY This is dumb. You're being dumb. Stop being dumb. The most that "feminism" - and those air quotes could have their own airport, they're so large - touches this movie is that it says "sex slave is bad, and freeing sex slaves is good." Literally. Like, that's it. You'd know if you watched the fucking movie. I mean I guess you could say that part of it is Charlize Theron being a badass, but she was already in Aeon Flux so that's a moot point. First of all, indoctrinate holy shit I'm dying. Second of all, they brought her on as a consultant for scenes where the actors would play sex slaves and rape victims. Because she did work on that sort of thing. In the Congo. 3 days. Out of a six month shoot. This is not the first time a director has ever done this. Not only is your lack of self-reflection in regards to "Men's Rights" disturbing, but if you're going to shit on something, at LEAST do your research first. Oh, but wait, if you did that you'd probably realize that being part of the MRA "movement" is fucking stupid neeeever mind~Being a MRA basically means recognising that men are human beings and their rights are systematically being violated in Western countries.
As a matter of fact, the biggest MRA community in the world
I haven't even watched this film, and I'm a little mad about it.
I remember reading that the director, George Miller, had invited the author of The vagina monologues on the set to indoctrinate the actors on the issue of violence against women - and I remember thinking "what the fuck?"
8bit bby pls, keep it coming. I'm in too foul of a mood to even deal with this nonsense. No one's life is easy - However, there are some people whose lives are significantly easier than others.
That's fair. I mean he hasn't even replied. But I feel it's important for other people to read, you know? Like I was thiiiiiis close to being a women-hating MRA dude when I was in high school, but I did some reading and I learned. If this changes one lurker's mind who's on the fence about their feelings in regards to this stupidity, then in my opinion it was worth it.
If no one else had done this by the time I got here I would have. Can't not. Must be because I'm such a (snicker) white knight. But since it's been taken care of (and thank you for that), I can just - not. Your reply was expressed much of what I feel. It was the word "indoctrinate" that killed it for me, I think. It has been echoing in my head ever since.
