Hey everyone! Thanks for the amazing comments on this video! I love it!! Just FYI, I know I messed up and used the screenshot of Ghostbusters 2 instead of using the one from 2016. Also, I misused penultimate - should have said ultimate. Whoops! Just know I'm aware, but I can't fix the issues - whomp whomp :(
Thanks for speaking my mind...you are one more that I will have to check in with for sanity checks etc. Hating this society we are in now. It is anything but honest and spontaneous. Pick a side and argue like hell to win the argument.
I always catch my typos and grammatical errors directly after I hit SEND or REPLY. Never fails...sigh. Nicely done! Thanx for addressing the blatant misandry in modern Hollywood productions. Especially comic book heroes that appeal to children. Teach 'em love, not hate.
This was a brilliant video Absolutely brilliant ! It’s not happened over night either it’s been coming for a long time the government agenda. They also laughed at women and women didn’t see it whilst putting men down. They made a man women of the year two years running but women clapped and rejoiced because they where brainwashed by emotions leading up to the kartrashian guy accepting the award. It was that bad that Instagram on the day would block anyone posting anything bad or negative about the award who says that we are not being controlled by government /media. Then I’d was the girls wanting to be in the boy brigade even though they have brownies hmm then it was women wanting to be involved with football(soccer) awards ceremony night. Which meant that men where not able to be men on a lads night out. Sit there a shut up no jokes about women or anything. So in essence men couldn’t do what the do best which is have banter. Now you have women as referees etc doesn’t anyone get it that when women get together and men get together they talk about different things. Once you bring a woman into a mans domain ie lads night out the conversation changes and men can’t be themselves which impacts the woman as then she feels awful. It’s not a battle of the sexes. Now it’s been ramped up by gender equality which won’t produce the same outcomes plus it won’t produce the same amount of women and men in jobs or what ever gender they have come up with now. Ok if a woman does the same job that’s fair she gets equal pay but to say it a blanket thing is bad. Science and nature proves the process of men and women.
Society is vague enough to not develop at all but just identifiable enough for the audience to understand anyway. It's the perfect scapegoat for lazy writers.
@@theotherjared9824 what do you think of the Joker tho? Yes, that Joquin Phoenix film if I remember correctly society was kinda the antagonist of that story, but I think they did it right since most liked the movie
@@spadeecstasy8709 Joker is one of the better cases in that the movie actually elaborated on how society affected the characters. Still, it doesn't change the fact that the villain was an abstract concept that didn't need to be developed.
@@theotherjared9824 that's because to write a good story you do not necessarily need one. it's just an obstacle, like many others can be, that the main character needs to overcome to reach his goals.
My wife and I listened to this. My wife responded to the end of the video with, "I like her.", referring to the channel creator. I agree. And it's not just because she's a woman.
@@ToxicAfricanKing when i see replies like this which generalised women , call them golf diggers etc i hate men even more! Keep assuming stuff about us😂
Exactly! The new age "feminism" is a wolf in sheep's clothing! It's undoing everything feminism was originally meant to be, which is bad for all of us women! We need to call that bs when we see it!
@@lamppuu1 Indeed. Feminism is getting such a bad rep these days because they are completely twisting the original message and purpose. (Or at least the loud minority is but those are the ones that get noticed.) I hate it.
The word woke is basically shorthand for most sides of the internet culture war, disambiguated from its original meaning as African American vernacular generally meaning to be politically active and particularly attentive to racial injustice. Now it's mostly used as a broad pejorative. It's slang encapsulating any number of issues in a culture war, but ultimately meaning the same thing no matter how it's used. When somebody says something is woke, chances are they mean that because something is promoting acceptance, it's bad. If something features a strong female lead, it might be called woke for trying to appeal to a feminine audience. We've seen plenty of examples of internet hatred lobbed franchises like Star Wars where Rey was decried as an unrealistic Mary Sue because she could fight. Other franchises to cry woke include Captain Marvel. These franchises have a number of things in common besides making nerds mad. But most importantly they all featured strong women who could fight well before any even thought of the word Culture War. So why are they being criticized now? Alien featured a strong female lead with short hair. Aliens featured a masculine woman with a shaved head. To nerds, these are unimpeachable classics. But now short hair or shaved heads designs is seen as bad. It's seen as woke. The fine print may vary why people will call these franchises woke ranging from including non-binary characters to the way a particular character's hair is cut or colored. But the point is the same, if you're trying to appeal to a broad audience and featuring somebody from a perceived minority group, you're probably woke, and I say perceived minority group because the people who most often caught complaining about these things are usually straight white men. It's no surprise that straight white men have seen a lot of themselves in media from us Gen X and Millennials in online spaces, they been watching themselves in cartoons and movies since they were literal children and sure, there have been female characters and people of color occasionally, but rarely they were the center of attention. So is it nostalgia or the feeling of being threatened that the things you grew up with and help define you might not solely belong to you that drives them. There's a lot to be said about the drug of nostalgia and how it's often the basis of woke arguments. Many people come to these franchises bringing a lifetime of love and nostalgia, but also a very specific notion of what the franchises is and more importantly what it should be, and when the franchise doesn't align with those preconceived notions exactly, it doesn't get blamed on lackluster creator and the never-ending churn of Hollywood just regurgitating IP or just personal preference. Instead, the product now lacking because it went woke, so it went broke. And the here's the problem with just calling things woke, it displays a terrible lack of media literacy. See someone write something off as woke is the critical equivalent of seeing a child in a store screaming and throwing a fit even when their parents is trying to calmly and rationally reason with them, they can't be reasoned with, partially because they don't want to be also because they don't the ability to. So it is with critics who simply call something woke and label it bad because it might have women or there's a new purple MM. You're not actually engaging with criticism; you're just lashing out rationally.
There's one problem this attempt at transhumanism programming cannot surmount. It's not credible. A 15 year old boy of average strength will demolish a woman in a physical fight. It doesn't matter how many times these woke movies try, women will never be equal to men, let alone overpower them.
@@resonancewaves9659 well at least they can protest. Imagine a straight white male lead social justice peaceful protest we would be treated like total clowns...
@@TungstenViper And any criticism they hear is an attack so they try to twist the narrative to be in their favour because who wouldn't want to fight for feminism/racism/sexism/LGBT rights. If you disagree with them, you're a bigot and that's the end of discussion
And yes we, yes we, all GOOD MEN AND GOOD WOMEN............named you an AMAZON..................Yes like WONDER WOMAN...............if you still love the first movie.
The ENTIRE Alien series is about a woman who continually survives whilst being surrounded my men that all die. But it isn't trying to push men down, she was genuinely trying to work alongside them to survive!!
As a 44 year old man-child, I am proud to shout that Ellen Ripley is my favourite character ever. She's kick ass because she's scared, but still tries to do the right thing.
The first movies with Ripley was the perfect example. She elevated to BAMF status WITHOUT the xenomorphs devolving into anything less scary, and they were peak cosmic nightmares in those times.
@@darthvader1793hey woah, coming off a little desperate and weird there bud! This will absolutely not work for you. Work on yourself...your health, your wealth and your confidence then trek into the real world to find a potential mate. Honestly!
Alien series is the only collection of movies where I did not even notice who was male and who was female. I referred to everyone by the character name.
Toxic femininity is a thing and this was a perfect explanation of it. Toxicity in a person has nothing to do with gender. It has to do with character, mainly, arrogance and selfishness.
@the1_that_dgaf which is very sexist towards women if you think about it, because it's basically says that women aren't responsible for their actions and basically have no agency on their own.
If you think for one second your relationship to your gender does not have a direct relationship to your character you are sadly mistaken. Not your gender mind you, your personal relationship with your gender.
"It's almost as if woke feminists don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves, but instead be the worst versions of men." You've put words to a concept that's been on my mind for a while now but I've not accurately been able to verbalize. Thank you.
Professional feminists have no real motivation to actually solve anything. If anything, they want the issues to get worse, because that equates more money and more power. That's why the polarization in their stances and communications has been steadily increasing. Zero interest in solving their source of income.
Stop listening to modern media my guy!!! Im 39 and learned this lesson as a teenager that mainstream media is full of crap!!! Its sole purpose is to brainwash and lead the minds of the masses!!! N stop feeling bad for yourself that's exactly how they want u to feel. Noting is wrong with you, focus on being a good person, stand up for yourself, be unapologetically masculine and find a mentor!!! Should be your father but if u dont have one it better not be peaople like Andrew tate or Fresh n FIt
As 16 year old male I've learned to not care about the fuckers who wants nothing but feel better after pushing you down. You need to change yourself in a better way, not just in physical form (hard for me), but also in your worldseeing (you're not a man, who gets a benefits from a patryarchy, you're just a 17 yo person, who happens to be a male. That wasn't you to choose, how you was born, maybe they should blame your mom for that then? (I don't mean, that they should, I just mean that you simply need a barrier from any kind of toxicity))
@@DonMerigano I do and I usually don’t pay attention to those who are ish to insult but everyone has there limits. I just wanna watch a movie not be lectured.
If you are a 16 yo male your thoughts are very mature, be proud of your self for being aware of how the world looks like this moment. In a couple of years, or less, no one will listen to those toxic feminists. By the way, a tip, watch every video Jordan Peterson has released, his thoughts are fantastic.
"You will train her harder than any amazon before her. Five times harder, ten times harder, until she's better than even you" That line from the first Wonder Woman inspired the sh*t out of me, and I'm a man.
Ich mag den Spruch nicht weil er Schwachsinnig ist. Training muss sich an dem Menschen richten der Trainiert, nicht umgekehrt. Ein Rettungsboot das nur zehn Menschen trägt, kannst du nicht mit Zwanzig Beladen. Ich kann nicht sagen:“ Heut lerne ich 100 neue Vokabeln, morgen 1.000, übermorgen 10.000“ . Man kann nichts erzwingen. So funktioniert die Welt nicht.
@@L30GH05TDUD3 Agreed. Not a Trump supporter whatsoever but this "woke" crap is ridiculous. And it won't stop until everyone stops encouraging this kind of behavior.
A huge problem is that americans think this is a real left, that being a leftist equals woke culture (and it's spreading to other countries). But it doesn't. A left, a real left, is supposed to protect workers from exploitation and enforce workers' unions, give veterans a subsidy, give people a job, impose more taxes on rich people so that poor people don't have to pay more, fight for public healthcare etc.
@@nickn2794 unfortunately it seems that number is very low. Remaining leftists either avoid any political stuff or they switch to centrism. Both political sides right now are very dangerously in a extremism position. You’re either a radical or a centrist.
When I, a woman, first found this video and watched the first few seconds, I was bouncing in my seat! You don't know how insanely happy I was to find another woman speaking out about this issue! Edit: Nvm! I'm a trans dude!
People need to hear this. I'm a man and I want to see more Ripleys and Vrataskis (Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow) on screen and not these lazily written, garbage characters. These writers have no skills and they hide their mediocrity behind agendas. Their male characters suck equally because they're just clueless about their jobs. It's all low effort trash by people who have no business doing the jobs they do.
All three of you in this comment section are the types of people we need in this world. Men and women are not equal but they are equally as important to the success of each other. I'd be nowhere without a woman (my mum) but this woman never made me feel like one is better than the other
Me too! I’m sick of seeing everyone making “strong girls” and then having this savior complex thinking they’re inspiring millions. Like can we focus on writing good characters again
It’s more common than is portrayed in media, most women aren’t radical toxic feminists. Love that real feminists are using their platform to spread messages of unity rather than divisiveness
"It's almost like woke feminists don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves; they want us to be the worst versions of men." You hit the nail on the head with that. Thanks for putting this out there. As a woman who *used* to be proud to call herself a feminist, I have watched with growing alarm how feminism has been highjacked by woke feminism. I will never buy into the hypocritical argument that in order to elevate women, we must denigrate men. There are good men and good women, and bad men and bad women in the world. If toxic masculinity is a thing, then so is toxic femininity.
It was really about equality. It was a man can like knitting and an abnormally strong woman shouldn't be prevented from heavy manual work because "women are weaker" Now it's there's male soul and female soul that can be mismatched with their bodies 🤔
Thanks for showing us that not all women are out to destroy us. it gets prety dark out there and when I was single and unemployed it legit felt like all woman were just waiting to shit on you for being a man. I feel really sorry for young men growing up in this toxic wasteland.
well, I am a man myself and I believe there is only a handfull of toxic womens, if all women were toxic, the world would have been more chaotic than it is.
don't forget to mention Jennifer Lawrence's incredible performance in the hunger games. wasn't incredible because she was a woman, because she is a very well written character who was played by an excellent actor
You're also meant to relate and empathize with Katniss, but the books make no attempt to gould you into thinking she's the best at everything or too good for everyone else. She very much isn't! And much of her weakness is criticized and called out by the other characters. There is a reason why the plan to escape in the second book was hidden from her. And why she wasn't allowed to rescue Peta and why she wasn't really in charge of anything. Because while her passion and desires are noble, she also lacked the experience and maturity to channel thay passion effectively. She is, after all, just a kid. And to expect she could effectively lead other soldiers into battle or carry out complex plans with high stakes was a rediculous notion and I'm glad the author didn't go for that. In other words, Katniss was allowed to be a human being and behave in ways that were appropriate to her character based on her age and the book's themes. She was allowed to make mistakes. She allowed not to be liked by other people. She was allowed not to be trusted. She wasn't there just to be a strong character for its own sake, but to tell a particular story with a specific message about image, media propaganda, and hero worship.
@ChomziLand: Telemundo Africa II Yes, especially the women left behind by their husbands in those planes. As far as our useless Western feminists are concerned, they should go live under the Taliban who take their religion very seriously. They'll see what true patriarchy is.
Equality? Not anymore. It's gone completely the other way where its now a huge disadvantage to be a white male. Unemployed for 18 months, going to my job provider (all women staff), then going to social security (again all women staff except the security guard), then going shopping ( at least a 80% female employment rate). It's like this everywhere I go now. Companies are falling over themselves trying to prove how "equal" they are by employing females (even in male dominated disciplines) purely on their gender. Fueled by extreme left wing media propaganda hosted by feminist management and reporters. Bonus points for employing female migrants. Time for me to identify as a female and put some apples under my t-shirt.
The thing I find most disappointing is assuming that women who are soft, demure, self sacrificing and naturally quiet souls are a scorn on womanhood. Some women have these character traits and it makes them wonderful caretakers of others, which we also need in society. It's a character trait many men lack which is why most men seek these traits in women, as a compliment to their own traits. Not every woman needs to be a literal Wonder Woman.
Amen to that! The balance of softness and strength, demure and relentless, self sacrificing and confidence, plus quiet yet with actions that speak louder. These are just some of the real life qualities that make women great - which got lost in woke feminism
My daughter showed me this. This is the best critique of this movement that I have ever seen. Thank you for setting and example that my daughters can embrace.
@@bonifiedeagle6128 yeah it’s true unfortunately, kids that know better are such a breath of fresh air. You gotta give kids like Josh’s props plus the parents for raising them right!
The new Mulan didn’t put “I’ll make a man outta you” because it was “offensive to women.” What’s funny is, that song in the original movie shows Mulan being stronger than men.
I dunno. I think that the training montage showed her keeping up with the guys finally, but what set her apart was her cleverness. She can't match the men in sheer strength, so she has to think her way around problems. Using the weights together, starting the avalanche, etc. She never really overpowers an enemy or wins through brute force. That's what feminist movies do wrong: They force female characters to beat men at what men are good at. Problem is that it devalues what women are good at.
does quitting the woke act mean women accept themselves as inferior? only asking here, genuinely curious, if anyone could let me know plsss, I'm new to the knowledge of this woke thing. Edit: thanks for clarifying y'all
Wokeism has been probably the worst thing we've created on the Internet, It has hurt more people than it has helped in the long run and makes society honestly terrifying edit: also the ironic part about the bad wonder woman movie is that the message is "You can't take shortcuts" and then the writers take shortcuts
"Its almost as if woke feminists don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves, but instead be the worst version of men" Absolutely! why am I supposed to cheer on characters that are rude, entitled, bratty and have a massive ego problem, just because they are female? why are those considered "good" role models for young women? these literally are traits under the "toxic masculinity" umbrella when they appear in men, but are somehow worthy of applaud when they appear in women??
Ooohhh you put the words straight put of my mouth when I couldn't put it into words! I knew there was something I was hating about these woke feminist films more than the obnoxious protagonists. It was the double standard all along!
Toxic feminism indulges in revenge fantasies against a perceived patriarchy that is supposedly supported by every single male on the planet. Little wonder they just come off as insufferable fascists, for that's precisely what they are. Try pointing this out to any Toxic SJW "feminist", & instead of engaging in anything resembling reasoned debate, focus all their energy upon shutting you up. It's a VERY strange & increasingly twisted world we live in today. At the same time when massive strides toward equality & acceptance of not just women but different sexualities & gender identities HAVE been made (compare the '80s to now, dimwit historians!), that a vocal minority of rabid sociopaths should be attempting to shut down every dissenting voice & establish a fascist matriarchy in which EVERYTHING male is automatically considered bogus at best, & evil at worst. It'd be funny if it wasn't so damn dangerous & poisonous.
Amazing. I've thought about this for a long time and how to answer these issues. I've frankly been at a loss for words on some of these stickier topics. Here's the beauty: I'm a man, yet her command of the topic kicks mine's butt. Can't wait for more content from this towering intellect. Gonna use it.
This is refreshing, as a woman I can't agree more, the road that wokeness is taking is advocating for arrogance, hateful attitude towards men, intitelment and irresponsiblity, This image is discrediting the cases in which struggles are endured around the world, it's childish & digenerate to want to turn women into angry, irrational creatures that are constantly defensive .
the problem is that only women can say this because if a man says it theyll be cancelled. woke culture isnt equality its censorship and discrimination against people who have a different opinion
"Why do they need to kneel down for you to stand up?" Bravo. That is a line that works against almost anyone nowadays. This was a spectacularly and maturely written and produced video. Thank you!
@@elizaclem I will stand up for women's rights and true feminism but Western Feminism? Like the Believe ALL women BS? A lot of men have had their careers destroyed by fake rape allegations and you want us to believe everything that comes out of a woman's mouth? That's not equality.
@@elizaclem i think you shoud clear your eyes, he said "WOKE feminism" which actualy is NOT feminism ! everything related to woke is pure trash and just dumb. Its people who are mad in their life and abuse the right of speaking earned by people (mostly men btw) and some literaly died for it, to make society evolve, and they just use thise power to unleash their personal frustration for everything and create chaos... Real feminism exist for long time, it has done a big change few decades ago some women literaly died because they had the courage to stand up, talk, fight for their right and thats wonderfull ! BUT woke people those day that pretend fighting for what is right, pretend to be feminist, are not, and they are highly disrespectfull toward those women who gave their life for the cause
Yes. Feminists are second grade men. Scratch that, they're fifth grade men, and that's being generous. They act like what they perceive us to be, which is a horribly warped view.
@poetjohncanyon well I agree but feminists usually want to break gender stereotypes. Toxic masculinity is a really big problem and it's because of gender stereotypes and some of these "certain traits"
In the words of my female significant other: "No one likes them because they aren't written as strong female characters, they're all written as bitter rich Hollywood feminists."
To be honest i think they are written exactly as what they think strength is : Entitled, narcissistic, being born in to privilege, not having to train to get anywhere and everything being handed to you, thinking you're better and good at everything you do and everyone telling you how great you are, thinking they are morally superior, and bitter and resentful when others dont act the way they want. It's basically a Hollywood rich kid who writes themselves in to a role thinking they are amazing.
Thank you! That moment when Captain Marvel blasts her mentor garnered a laugh in the theatre but it didn't have the emotional pay off that was due at that moment.
To be fair, humans on average have lost an actual lemon's worth of brain size since the advent of modern civilization - over the past 3 thousand years. So ironically, they may have a point, just for the wrong reasons.
Great Video; this Planet really must learn the difference between supposed strong Characters and strongly-written Ones! BUT im worried about the Consequences of pushing this fact under the Umbrella of the extremly-vaguely-defined Word Woke. Even if we ignore the Fact Homophobics and/or Super-Rich have already politicized this Word and JUST point at a Thing they disliked and said 'Its Woke! Get it!!', we're still left with Problems.
Because men are taller, faster, tougher, stronger, and have more willpower individually than the 4 billion women on this world combined. The simple truth even Baggage Claim won't acknowledge is that men HAVE to kneel down or women simply will not have a chance.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Yeah, except: No, thats a made-up 'non-fact'. Its you putting feelings over facts SO MUCH that you have no problem in making-up a measurement of something intangible like Willlpower and just crowning your Gender King; and i f i had to guess: of your gender, you just happen to be King? Yikes, what an Edgelord you are.
I really admire the elastic girl from Incredibles 2. She is a mother and a wife, that makes her highly relatable. But the reason I like her is that she is intelligent and mature, she knows how and when to use her powers and on top of that, she loves her family.
The opposite of Rihanna .. She is perfect at everything, one of the best selling artist...But all her perfection doesnt give her a man who will love her for her imperfections, and normalcy.. or she would love herself as well.
I really like seeing how Mr. Incredible struggles and learns to be a stay-at-home dad, and how he finally accepts support from friends. It makes me realize the hard work Elastigirl must have gone through, and makes me appreciate both her and Mr. Incredible for it!
Holy smokes!!! What an amazing video!!! No seriously home freaking run!!! The entire breakdown, all solid points, top marks all around! To listen to a woman expose this kind of toxicity so intelligently and eloquently is simply poetic justice! I’m not being facetious at all, pure honesty and sincerity. I’m not surprised at all at the level of sophistication of this video. It truly takes a woman.
In the original version of mulan, she isn’t stronger than the people around her but uses her wit to succeed. The new mulan is just inherently stronger than everyone she comes across.
And in the original, she doesn't have super power and she is aware that she is physically inferior to men. But she still pushes through and saves the day by mind and will power. THAT was the part that was so empowering. The hope that average, everyday women can also follow this path, accept their limits and still rise. The new Mulan has superpowers and is just superior to everyone. At the end of the movie, you're just left thinking that: "God, if I had superpowers... But I don't".
Exactly!!! When I first watched the original Mulan I was so inspired and empowered by how despite being the weakest among her peers, she pushes through to sacrifice and fight like nobody else. the real power does not come from sth supernatural, it is all about mind and perseverance.
like, it's actually sexist in my eyes to make movies with female leads like this. People start to hate them and they eventually don't want female roles.
Hermione was the most intelligent out of the trio but she ALWAYS reminded Harry that HE was the one who had to defeat Voldemort, and supported Ron by making him feel more confident. She never tried to do something without them, rather she was sure they needed to work as a team, and she was next to them, not below, not above. Even after the other two would always recognize they couldn't do it without her, she used her intelligence to compliment Harry's and even Ron's personal skills. That's why I loved her and she was my role model as a kid.
There were certain aspects of Hermione that I didn't like, but they had nothing to do with her being female. She was often dismissively arrogant, especially toward Ron, and treated people less intelligent than her as either someone to be pitied or dismissed. But see, those are personal traits that I dislike in men as well. And despite this, there was no denying that she commanded respect for how she developed herself and worked with those around her. Sort of like an arrogant quarterback who thinks they ARE the team (something I hate) but nevertheless works with the team such that all members succeed (something I admire). Hermione personifies what I'd see as the ideal feminist: don't tell her she CAN'T do it, but also know that she is as prone as anyone else to being less than perfect. What we've gotten with woke culture however, is that nothing is perfect UNTIL it involves a woman.
I'm glad you mentioned Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor! She's literally the first character that comes to mind when talking about actual feminist characters. Sarah Connor has a great character arc. She starts out as your average 80's teenage girl but grows into a cyborg killer. She's great and not just because she shoots rifles and has a athletic body, but she's resourceful and competent at what she does!
"Can Hollywood come up with better villians than just society?" Excellent observation. Hollywood is so out of touch with their customers it's laughable.
Culture is literally changing and Media reflects that but Media is also the Cause, cause it's all symbiotic. For example, Quotes from the 12. Doctor: "Oh, the Mechanized Space-Suits malfunction and attack us? That's funny cause that means we're like Anyone-else Everywhere-else: We're fighting the Suit!" 12. Doctor:"What makes you feel so superior? It it the good House? But Human-Progress isnt measured by Industry, it's measured by looking at a Life. An unimportant Life... a life without privilege. 13. Doctor: "OMG, OMG, OMG, have you heard of Space-Amazon? Amazon is so epic, everyone who disagrees with that is a literal PIG. We should all stop criticizing Amazon forever." I kid you not, they said that. Holy Penguin, wtf. And yeah, Critical Drinker's massive Success with his 'Why modern movies s-ck'-video-SERIES speaks for itself. People DO want Quality back.
A Good Example of a Non-Woke-Fanbase that asks for more Female Representation and even the 1.Woman-Protag is Yugioh. No Wokeness that i ever saw. Silly Ideas like 'Shonen must be full of Boys and only be for Boys' hold back the Quality. People just want the natural thing of the Franchise aging together with them; ya know, the 'Harry Potter Treatment' as well as well-written Females (which was always a big Problem in Yugioh and Naurto) and even a female MC. So 'out of Spite' (lol) the MC was Aged-Down, haha. Not only do we get no Female Protag who's in her Twenties, but we got the Youngest and Creamy-Whitiest MC ever.
They just did, they made the villian WOMEN, but not for their movies, but for real life. I agree this is toxic feminity, but now this has led to most PEOPLE hating these movies and their characters for their strong females, that hollywood made. hollywood does not care about women, not even humans at all, they just lure on money, as it has always been for them.
They’re not outta touch at all. They know what they want-and that’s to give people 2 choices of nonsensical bullshit to fight over. “Pick a side, feel intensely about the side you pick, and go fight the other side … They know what they’re doing. You don’t.
Look at Lara Croft as a character, she’s a total badass but the fact that’s she’s a woman never comes into play. The ladies of Resident Evil are the same.
Same with Ripley or Vasquez from Aliens or Sarah Connor from Terminator series. Heck even Uma Thurman's the Bride from Kill Bill is a far better option than most female superhero characters of today.
Just like Ripley and Connor showcases us, portraying them as truly women is what made them so great to begin with. They didn't become icons by denigrating men, but by showing they are effeminate characters who would still act like real, strong women in such situations. To note that no male character would win sympathy over the audience by denigrating women...
i think of it more of as, respect is given but has to be kept. everyone deserves respect, its their human right, but its up to them if they wanna keep my respect, or if they wanna be toxic or bitter or arrogant and lose that respect
Humanity is Young af, i'd say thats the problem. I mean, we do still have entire Political Parties who could just be dubbed 'THE Anti-LGBT Groups' so maybe going far-beyond-normal in trying to push-Representation-and-other-stuff is kinda to be expected? In Popculture at least, i oppose Wokeness - the Sludgehammer-Diversity. I always explain it real-simple: Diversity is good and LGBT is good, so Owl House is just good Representation. Great even. Current Star Trek, Star Wars and Owl House meanwhile; guess what; are 'Wokeness'. Not everyone gets this, a lot of people think nothing is woke, a lot think everything lgbt-representing is woke, both is objectively wrong. It aint your fault though (i guess) as the Word is not-clear-defined and BIG. So yeah, the Woke are clearly overreacting in some Cases, at least if you ignore that LGBT is still the unfairly-opressed thing that the most-infantile Groups on our Plan hate-with-a-damn-hot-Passion. But we also cant ignore the obvious fact that the Right mainly oppose Wokeness and mainly associate it with the Left, is just them being infantile once again. Its just them being really, really infantile. Even those that arent infantile little phobic's are totally seeing this as a 'LEFT ISSUE FROM THE EVIL LEFTTTT!!'. Many Left are not aware that Wokeness (in one defintion of the word) literally kills Franchises, even if we dont count-in 'Diversity-Hires' and 'Checkbox-Hires' as part of Wokeness. And many Right dont seem to know how opressed LGBT is, how targeted it is, and much more.
The feeling when kid's cartoon shows like Kim Possible and ATLA wrote better female leads than most series and movies now. Sometimes writers are so obssessed with writing a strong female character and ignoring the other ingredients that maketh a good character that they do exactly the opposite 🤷
Right? From the very beginning (literally 30 seconds into this video) I could think of several action heroines like Ripley from the Alien franchise or Alice in the Resident Evil franchise or Trinity in the Matrix franchise or Letty in The Fast and the Furious franchise.
yeah imagine building up a universe of incredibly powerful and respectable characters over several years just to throw it out the window for one movie (captain marvel)

Could've been better with a depiction of how she came to hone her powers and strength. The way she came it was to easily slapped together. Not enough arch complexity. They were great works of art. Ashame though that she (Brie Larson) ruined a completely good character

Thank you for this video! I've been calling these things toxic feminism for years now! I love hearing other fellow women speaking out about it. And yes, WW1 was the only female superhero movie done right.
they took the idea of “a woman can be anything” and made it “here’s a woman that can do everything” and it just reinforces the idea that you have to be perfect in every way and it’s what everyone should expect of you
Not to mention that a lot of 'strong female characters' are written to essentially be men in women's bodies, and it kind of pushes a narritave that being feminine makes you weak. The tender, nurturing side of a woman is very underappreciated these days.
There's also the unintended consequence that the real message little girls get is that if they are not perfect at birth, then they are failures. Do you feel unsure of yourself or fear; then that's not a normal human experience there's something wrong with you. You tried something and didn't ace it, then their's either something wrong with you OR the game is rigged. And if the game is rigged you work to get the rules changed because the only reason for your failure MOST be that the system is against you. That message, that you are secretly great but that the system is against you, is a horrible message. Because the woke focus on the 'you are great' part; but in reality you are not born great. You have to work and earn it. So when people fail (as they must) they blame 'society / the system'. Social change and progress is good, but the real message here becomes you are powerless in the world. All the power lies with society, you have no control of your life; only the 'others' do. And that's a horrible way to try to go through life. You can see it it some many woke movements: The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations
Exactly, and, like another video (about the latest Charlie's angels movie) highlighted it, if a character can do everything, is equally good at everything, then she's ultimately particularly good at nothing, hence not remarkable, not admirable and not endearing. COUGH COUGH *Mary-Sue COUGH!
The way I felt relieved after hearing a woman talk....A brown woman at that! Finally someone talking about how toxic this "woke" feminism is and how it's ruining society instead of making it better as those "feminists" claim to be.
completely agree, ill never forget the seen were she wraps the weights around the pole to climb it, she uses her cunning to get the arrow down showing that you don't have to be physically strong to be a strong person
And probably most importantly of all, in both the original ballad and the earlier Disney film, she turns down honours and titles in favour of humble retirement. Couldn't be a sharper contrast to the warmongering 'get ready for Mulan 2!' 2020 ending.
And if period correct would have gotten her entire family despatched as such an action would have brought immediate shame and disgrace upon the families name. Because history.
Never seen the new Mulan, but if she has "powers" I will NEVER watch it. The reason Mulan is my favorite Disney movie is that she is a normal village girl who joins the military and quickly becomes known as the runt (Obviously, she has no training, stamina, or muscle mass. She can barely keep up with her chores). It is only after working hard to keep up that she earns the respect and camaraderie of her fellow soldiers. Even then, she's no stronger than them, but she holds her own and asks for help when needed. The original Mulan was realistic of a female soldier of today. Strong, but not unrealistically so. Keeps up with everyone else and has respect for her fellow fighters. Doesn't expect special treatment, but asks for help when needed.
and what makes her able to defeat the villain in the original is her creativity and quick thinking. and these traits are not just available to women. she just happens to be another soldier with different sets of strength in battle, but coincidentally a woman
@@doctorkuroshi Exactly, and she didn't do it alone, she recruited the help of her friends and it was a team effort with every member playing to their strengths.
Everytime it highlighted "She is black/lesbian/trans/wse" I ask myself: "Okay... but... why does it make her better?" I mean: Why is it relevant for her role, that she sleep with women in her freetime? Best example for this in your video: The Doctor "I got an upgrade" ---- Why is it an upgrade? And whats the next step?

While I think it’s important to be aware of racial prejudice (or indeed any kind of prejudice), there does come a point where people are just whining for the sake of it, as evidenced in this video.

@@gulfmarine8857 Wokeness is the current ideological forms of feminism, LGBT rights, racism, migration and to some degree the environment. All of these topics needed work decades ago, but in their current form they are undoing much of the work, or bringing it back in other forms. Racism for example, societies attack on Whites is obvious, in California they tried repealing the Anti-discrimination act brought in in the 60's so they could hire and fire on race again, the goal was to exclude White people from certain jobs. Wokeness has many issues and next to no positives.
As a girl I absolutely love her for saying this!! I am so happy that this video is blowing up and showing that not all women are the brainwashed woke feminist. We are all just people woke culture is extremely toxic and it disgusts me in every little bit. Men and women should work together everybody with their different strenghts.
Yes, James Bond is one of the rarer instances we're his sexuality (and specifically his attitude towards women) _is_ a defining characteristic, and, therefore, swapping the gender would not work. In contrast to making The Doctor a woman which could have worked fine had they not gone down this "woke" feminism journey.
Exactly make him have a love interest or a colleague who is female that can kick ass eg Grace Jones in her role as May Day. the problem is I remember Ripley, Sarah Connor, and Wonderwoman. I also grew up with kick-ass singers Like Suzy Quatro, Joan Jet, and Debbie Harry. Just be talented and Kickass and you will shine and be respected for it nobody owes you anything for nothing. I want my daughter to be respected for what she achieves not because it's expected deep down no one respects you for that.
Same here, all my woman friends tend to stare weirdly at me after I tell them that I think that feminisms in movies is for the most part badly executed. Then they let me feel like I’m being sexist :(
Baggage claim, I love, love, love you! You are so great in your analysis, so eloquent, so clear in your message with our being patronising. You are AMAZING!
The vast majority of directors and producers are white men. They don’t know how to write female characters. That’s the issue. We are already conditioned to see male roles positively.
I feel like Moana is a great female lead, she struggles with society’s expectations but her main character development is tied to overcoming her flaws, which she does
Plus right from the get go the movie let's you know that her father doesn't want her to sail because of her gender but because he's afraid and she's meant to be their next leader.
Perhaps the character Moana herself was done well, however, her success during her story telling also required that Maoi, the demi-god that supposedly did so much for humanity and was so amazing at being a demi-god, had to behave like an egotistical self serving misogynist. She literally has to force him to help her save the world, while his plan was to... what, run away to nowhere? I think the beginning of Moana's story was set up pretty well, but like most current Disney/Hollywood stories that have come out lately, establishing the Heroine's worth requires that male counterparts have to either act like douchebags, or get their asses handed to them in 1v1 or 1vMany scenarios. From a realistic standpoint, I'd rather the Heroine motivate change through her actions rather than get into a verbal pissing contest, or worse, physically fight off male characters who solely exist to be a bully that deserves an ass kicking. The latter being the most unrealistic scenario for audience members to accept because 9 times out of 10, women lose to men in physical bouts of strength. This is a terrible formula for both young women, and young men. Reason being, it teaches young women that they have to be needlessly aggressive or assertive when dealing with boys/men, rather than reserving that approach only for bullies. But since these stories teach that men NEVER acknowledge women until getting a beat down, well now young women go into the world thinking that they need to prove themselves to every male they run into because obviously, every male has no respect for a woman until it happens. Which means there's no room for women to embrace their femininity because somehow, it's now a weakness when it comes to earning respect. As for why it's bad for young men, it's because they no longer have any good male role models in these stories to look up to. Maoi should have been a good role model for boys, but as the movie portrayed, Maoi had NO redeeming qualities. He gave up when things got hard for him at every turn, belittled Moana because she was a girl, and ran away in the end. I don't know why he would have come back after his hook was broken when all throughout the movie, he clearly always meant what he said when he didn't want to risk his neck for humanity. He took an action that was in direct conflict to how the story set his character up, and did something completely out of character for the sake of a last ditch effort to paint him in a good light before the story inevitably gets its happy ending. This is horrible for young boys.
I don't see his character that way. He's an arrogant jerk, yeah but Moana is a force all her own and would likely have treated anyone who tried to runaway the same way. I think it's just that Moana's character finally got through to him in the end. Plus he's a god and when you look through literature of most gods they're arrogant and self serving. The point is they see and experience the world differently not because of gender but because she's human and he's a god. Plus he's the epitome of the saying, "no good deed goes unpunished." He helped out humans before but only did it to benefit himself and in turn caused more problems. The lesson I think is to see how when he finally helps someone for unselfish reasons, things work out for him. Or I could be wrong and it's just the optimist in me wanting to see it that way but that's my opinion.
@@SeraphimDragon Hmmm I didn't think about it that way. I'm not saying you're wrong, since they didn't really explain why he came back, so it's up to interpretation. But the way I saw it was, I do think that he did care about humanity--I mean, that was the whole cause of this mess, he took Te Fiti's heart because he wanted to use it to save humanity--time and his failure just made him bitter about it, as well as nobody remembering him. But ultimately I think not only did Moana's desire to save the ocean get him to change his mind, he also remembered that--his original desire to protect and save humanity. So they were united, in the end, by that commonality, Maui just had to think about it a little bit more. Moana is one of my favorite movies (mostly for the emphasis on family and ancestors--I cried at everything about the Grandma) and I think Moana has a rightful place among the Disney Princesses, even if she isn't really one herself xD
@@rAnd0mTr0ll the point in that statement is no simping at all, it's just to express what we as men can feel when things runs natural and smoothly in our favorite entertaining products, there was nothing forced or entitled about that particular scene, it was just great, so no simping there, he would've been a simp if he glorified Eowyn for just being a woman, which was not the case.
"Women are born perfect and only society holds you back" is, in my opinion, a very dangerous thought for (especially) young girls and adult women. If we don't reach our goals and aren't as perfect as the women on screen, then that would mean something is inherently wrong with us. Or maybe we aren't part of the "strong women". But that's not true! Let's be honest: most of the time it's not society holding you back, its your own flaws... real people aren't born perfect, we grow and we learn and that makes us strong :)
These female characters feel like forced creations they lack any substance. People only watch these programs to support the cause not because they like the show or the character. It's a messed up extension of virtue signaling.
Women are all born equal. It is the sweat, long hours, application, practice , focus, sacrifice, excercion, and bloody hard work that has elevated men from women in all sectors of life. Especially the acting profession. No starlets bed interviews for young Male actors. Just good old honest ard graft.
@@den264 As a woman I would not sit through these 90 minutes to 2 hours of torture flicks. I do not understand why a woman or anyone would be willing to actually watch something that sucks just to feel woke.
Hollywood won't. They don't have the guts. I hate to admit it; Hollywood is one of many reasons why society is failing and why there is so much corruption.
But it's almost like Hollywood wants society to be the 'villain', because that is the narrative that will drive them attention; much like how the nfl, wwe, and us govt do certain things.
What's this?! A sensible, rational, well-thought out, factual, much-needed video about the toxic woke feminism in our media?! FROM A WOMAN?! I subscribed immediately. 🙂
No, this is a bunch of bias bullshit trying to paint movies that have absolutely nothing to do with it, as "woke Feminists." There is no difference between Captain Marvel and say Rey, Rey is a badly written character, Captain Marvel is a well written character. This has literally nothing to do with feminism. This video is just stupid. And this is all coming from someone who agrees with the underlying point, that "Strong female lead" or that feminism in movies is wrong. The female batman, bad, female versions of other stories are bad. But this video just goes into the personal opinions of the maker, it means nothing.
Thats what villains do, like captain marvel being a woman so she can't be a captain, and her torturing a guy cause he flirted and she decided to use her powers on a normal human. Also it was a lame movie, she did'nt overcome anything, she just one shot the boss while barely moving an inch. What "action" If i do say so myself
@@darkg5103 how is saying "I'm better than you because I'm wahmen" demanding equality. This is actually the exact opposite of equality; poorly-written female superhero characters who have never overcome huge odds are given special treatment; hence, not equality.
"Why do they need to kneel down for you to stand up." One of the most spot on observations about what's wrong with our culture, summarized in one simple, eloquent sentence.
because "you" don't stand up .. but once everyone kneels down .. it looks like you're bigger and that is exactly what feminism pushes for at least the last 10 years if not far longer
@David Benson you can interpret that kneeling literaly or figuratively both fits. but yes pretty much what i also said. feminists embody what they accuse men of
They want to paint this picture of empowerment, but anytime you have to make someone weaker to be stronger it really defeats the whole idea and meaning of empowerment.....
@@ShadowString_Edward_Johnson and there cancel culture and accusations of misogyny jump in (or in other "progressive" contexts .. accusations of racism or xx-phobia)
@David Benson One thing that is still actual theses days is that women have to put WAY MORE efforts than men to be taken seriously and have the credit they should already have
"Our movie did bad because men don't like powerful women." Alien, Tomb Raider, Metroid, Uncharted, a lot of Tarantino movies, Wonder Woman, Terminator, The Last of Us, and so many more. People don't like your movies because they're bad.
Showing the fear on Eowyn's face when she sees the Witch King's flail is such a great moment! It's not that she's perfect or invincible, it's that she has true courage. That was a big part of what made those movies so great. Even ARAGORN showed fear in the face of danger. True courage is not fearlessness, it's overcoming fear.
I was thinking the same. This scene is so powerful in the movies and even more in the books. Eowyn is just standing there, facing a nearly-immortal being thousands of years old, because she wants to protect her dying Father and because it's her duty as a knight of Rohan. The fact that Eowyn and Merry kill the King of the Nazgul is such a mindblowing moment. It's not a free victory either: they both get their arm permanently damaged, they pay the price for choosing to fight a being that is absurdly stronger than they would ever be.
Kim Wexley in Better Call Saul is an amazing strong female character too. She stood up against bully clients and drug cartels. AMAZING! She is my top favorite strong female character along with Princess Leia, Ahsoka Tano, Ripley and Sarah Connor to name a few.

You really have cracked down in detailed what was the main problem. I have seen so many vedios talking about this issue but you explained it most accurately. Respect !
@@redboxgamingyt3452 ¿? They didn't paint neither Moana's Dad nor Maui as greedy. Anyone with half a brain understands that the dad is obviously worried for a very justifiable reason, like for example a trauma that scarred him for life. And Maui wasn't greedy, he was self-centered at first but then learned that by collaborating he could get out the best of himself while helping Moana to strive towards a larger goal that benefitted him too. Near the end of the movie, he became angry with Moana for, again, a very justifiable reason, because Moana's recklessness had made them risk their own lives. Moana also understood her mistake and listened to Maui, and finally, both got what they wanted, all because they were willing to cooperate with each other. Regarding Zootopia, ¿did you even watch the movie? Even if Judy, a prey (who are actually the majority of the population) is the protagonist and suffered from discrimination, Nick and other predators were the minority that suffered most of the discrimination even if they were in a position of power compared to the preys. It's not a story about the discrimination of a minority, is a story about how evil individuals can manipulate gullible people into believing that racism and segregationism are good, also advocating that the way to achieve equality for everybody is not by bringing others down, but by rising each other up. If anything is an anti-discrimination story.

thats how all movies should be written,, genderless and raceless and just hire whoever fits the part best. like its not that hard. but i guarantee disney goes "its going to be a strong brave black woman cuz we are progressive"
@@ikeepgettinbanned5525 - Except that "raceless" is often code for "an essentially white character that might just happen to have non-white skin." That is, a character that says and does things that any white character might do, but "just happens to be non-white". For example, in the MCU, War Machine is pretty much a "raceless" character that "just happens to be" black, because he's never done or said anything that a white character wouldn't. But Falcon is not a "raceless" black character, because he actually has said and done things that would be more expected of a black character than a white one. Such as telling Tony that he'd have to "go Mark Furman on my ass to get info out of me". Or such as recommending Marvin Gaye's TroubleMan blacksploitation soundtrack album to Cap, and later listening to it at Cap's hospital bedside. Would we want to water down Falcon to not say or do such things, so that he can be "raceless"? Getting back to your proposal more generally about making all characters genderless and raceless. Well, it depends on the story. Would it have made sense for the lead character in Tootsie to be "genderless" and have both men and women auditioning for the part? And would it have made sense for both men and women to audition for Julia Robert's part in Pretty Woman? Or non-blacks to be auditioning for Richard Roundtree's part in Shaft? Etc, etc. The stories wouldn't make sense (or at least be taken far from the writers' vision) by changing the genders/race of those characters. Hell, even something like Beverly Hills Cop, which could indeed have a "raceless" lead character. They first wanted Sylvester Stallone for the lead (and I think he could have done well, given his Demolition Man performance), but when they changed it to Eddie Murphy, they took advantage of his being black which allowed them to do things with the character that they couldn't have done with Sly. Which is to say, I think the movie would've worked with Sly, but it worked differently with Murphy, precisely because they did NOT make the character "raceless". A character's demographic characteristics can impact the story (and sometimes is vital to the story, like in Tootsie or Pretty Woman or Shaft), and there's nothing wrong with that.

This was a brilliant video Absolutely brilliant ! It’s not happened over night either it’s been coming for a long time the government agenda. They also laughed at women and women didn’t see it whilst putting men down. They made a man women of the year two years running but women clapped and rejoiced because they where brainwashed by emotions leading up to the kartrashian guy accepting the award. It was that bad that Instagram on the day would block anyone posting anything bad or negative about the award who says that we are not being controlled by government /media. Then I’d was the girls wanting to be in the boy brigade even though they have brownies hmm then it was women wanting to be involved with football(soccer) awards ceremony night. Which meant that men where not able to be men on a lads night out. Sit there a shut up no jokes about women or anything. So in essence men couldn’t do what the do best which is have banter. Now you have women as referees etc doesn’t anyone get it that when women get together and men get together they talk about different things. Once you bring a woman into a mans domain ie lads night out the conversation changes and men can’t be themselves which impacts the woman as then she feels awful. It’s not a battle of the sexes. Now it’s been ramped up by gender equality which won’t produce the same outcomes plus it won’t produce the same amount of women and men in jobs or what ever gender they have come up with now. Ok if a woman does the same job that’s fair she gets equal pay but to say it a blanket thing is bad. Science and nature proves the process of men and women.

"It is not enough that I should succeed. Others must fail."
Only weak women require men to kneel for them to be strong.

I can’t say I’ve liked many of the recent dominant female characters in media recently. Hollywood has been celebrating WHAT we are, not WHO we are.
The word woke is basically shorthand for most sides of the internet culture war, disambiguated from its original meaning as African American vernacular generally meaning to be politically active and particularly attentive to racial injustice. Now it's mostly used as a broad pejorative.
It's slang encapsulating any number of issues in a culture war, but ultimately meaning the same thing no matter how it's used. When somebody says something is woke, chances are they mean that because something is promoting acceptance, it's bad.
If something features a strong female lead, it might be called woke for trying to appeal to a feminine audience.
We've seen plenty of examples of internet hatred lobbed franchises like Star Wars where Rey was decried as an unrealistic Mary Sue because she could fight. Other franchises to cry woke include Captain Marvel.
These franchises have a number of things in common besides making nerds mad. But most importantly they all featured strong women who could fight well before any even thought of the word Culture War.
So why are they being criticized now? Alien featured a strong female lead with short hair. Aliens featured a masculine woman with a shaved head. To nerds, these are unimpeachable classics. But now short hair or shaved heads designs is seen as bad. It's seen as woke.
The fine print may vary why people will call these franchises woke ranging from including non-binary characters to the way a particular character's hair is cut or colored.
But the point is the same, if you're trying to appeal to a broad audience and featuring somebody from a perceived minority group, you're probably woke, and I say perceived minority group because the people who most often caught complaining about these things are usually straight white men.
It's no surprise that straight white men have seen a lot of themselves in media from us Gen X and Millennials in online spaces, they been watching themselves in cartoons and movies since they were literal children and sure, there have been female characters and people of color occasionally, but rarely they were the center of attention.
So is it nostalgia or the feeling of being threatened that the things you grew up with and help define you might not solely belong to you that drives them.
There's a lot to be said about the drug of nostalgia and how it's often the basis of woke arguments. Many people come to these franchises bringing a lifetime of love and nostalgia, but also a very specific notion of what the franchises is and more importantly what it should be, and when the franchise doesn't align with those
preconceived notions exactly, it doesn't get blamed on lackluster creator and the never-ending churn of Hollywood just regurgitating IP or just personal preference.
Instead, the product now lacking because it went woke, so it went broke. And the here's the problem with just calling things woke, it displays a terrible lack of media literacy. See someone write something off as woke is the critical equivalent of seeing a child in a store screaming and throwing a fit even when their parents is trying to calmly and rationally reason with them, they can't be reasoned with, partially because they don't want to be also because they don't the ability to.
So it is with critics who simply call something woke and label it bad because it might have women or there's a new purple MM. You're not actually engaging with criticism; you're just lashing out rationally.
In a world where madame marie curie should be icon of feminism. There are barbie, a sexualized man defaming woke character as icon of feminism.
There's one problem this attempt at transhumanism programming cannot surmount. It's not credible. A 15 year old boy of average strength will demolish a woman in a physical fight. It doesn't matter how many times these woke movies try, women will never be equal to men, let alone overpower them.

Alien series is the only collection of movies where I did not even notice who was male and who was female. I referred to everyone by the character name.
Toxic femininity is a thing and this was a perfect explanation of it. Toxicity in a person has nothing to do with gender. It has to do with character, mainly, arrogance and selfishness.
It’s also a thing that’s always to do with low self esteem and realising there is nothing interesting they can actually offer.
@the1_that_dgaf The oppressor can do no right. The oppressed can do no wrong.
@the1_that_dgaf which is very sexist towards women if you think about it, because it's basically says that women aren't responsible for their actions and basically have no agency on their own.
If you think for one second your relationship to your gender does not have a direct relationship to your character you are sadly mistaken. Not your gender mind you, your personal relationship with your gender.

Agreed! I liked that!
Professional feminists have no real motivation to actually solve anything. If anything, they want the issues to get worse, because that equates more money and more power.
That's why the polarization in their stances and communications has been steadily increasing.
Zero interest in solving their source of income.
I felt that way too!
@@sneezyfido well said. Very well said. Why solve the problem akin to killing the golden goose that lays the golden eggs?

As 16 year old male it definitely hurts when modern media kicks me while I’m down, tells I suck for being male, then beats me again for good measure.
Stop listening to modern media my guy!!! Im 39 and learned this lesson as a teenager that mainstream media is full of crap!!! Its sole purpose is to brainwash and lead the minds of the masses!!! N stop feeling bad for yourself that's exactly how they want u to feel. Noting is wrong with you, focus on being a good person, stand up for yourself, be unapologetically masculine and find a mentor!!! Should be your father but if u dont have one it better not be peaople like Andrew tate or Fresh n FIt
As 16 year old male I've learned to not care about the fuckers who wants nothing but feel better after pushing you down. You need to change yourself in a better way, not just in physical form (hard for me), but also in your worldseeing (you're not a man, who gets a benefits from a patryarchy, you're just a 17 yo person, who happens to be a male. That wasn't you to choose, how you was born, maybe they should blame your mom for that then? (I don't mean, that they should, I just mean that you simply need a barrier from any kind of toxicity))
@@DonMerigano I do and I usually don’t pay attention to those who are ish to insult but everyone has there limits. I just wanna watch a movie not be lectured.
If you are a 16 yo male your thoughts are very mature, be proud of your self for being aware of how the world looks like this moment.

I will never buy into the hypocritical argument that in order to elevate women, we must denigrate men. There are good men and good women, and bad men and bad women in the world. If toxic masculinity is a thing, then so is toxic femininity.

don't forget to mention Jennifer Lawrence's incredible performance in the hunger games. wasn't incredible because she was a woman, because she is a very well written character who was played by an excellent actor
yupp same with Katniss in the books she isn't a great character because she is a woman but because she is strong and fights for what is right!
You're also meant to relate and empathize with Katniss, but the books make no attempt to gould you into thinking she's the best at everything or too good for everyone else. She very much isn't! And much of her weakness is criticized and called out by the other characters.
There is a reason why the plan to escape in the second book was hidden from her. And why she wasn't allowed to rescue Peta and why she wasn't really in charge of anything. Because while her passion and desires are noble, she also lacked the experience and maturity to channel thay passion effectively. She is, after all, just a kid. And to expect she could effectively lead other soldiers into battle or carry out complex plans with high stakes was a rediculous notion and I'm glad the author didn't go for that.
In other words, Katniss was allowed to be a human being and behave in ways that were appropriate to her character based on her age and the book's themes. She was allowed to make mistakes. She allowed not to be liked by other people. She was allowed not to be trusted. She wasn't there just to be a strong character for its own sake, but to tell a particular story with a specific message about image, media propaganda, and hero worship.
She’s the actor who made me want to read books hahaha soon as I seen the movies I went straight to the books for more

I've heard women in Afghanistan have it pretty good. Maybe we should send our western feminists over there ? 😉😉
@ChomziLand: Telemundo Africa II Yes, especially the women left behind by their husbands in those planes.
As far as our useless Western feminists are concerned, they should go live under the Taliban who take their religion very seriously. They'll see what true patriarchy is.
Equality? Not anymore. It's gone completely the other way where its now a huge disadvantage to be a white male. Unemployed for 18 months, going to my job provider (all women staff), then going to social security (again all women staff except the security guard), then going shopping ( at least a 80% female employment rate). It's like this everywhere I go now. Companies are falling over themselves trying to prove how "equal" they are by employing females (even in male dominated disciplines) purely on their gender. Fueled by extreme left wing media propaganda hosted by feminist management and reporters. Bonus points for employing female migrants. Time for me to identify as a female and put some apples under my t-shirt.
The thing I find most disappointing is assuming that women who are soft, demure, self sacrificing and naturally quiet souls are a scorn on womanhood. Some women have these character traits and it makes them wonderful caretakers of others, which we also need in society. It's a character trait many men lack which is why most men seek these traits in women, as a compliment to their own traits. Not every woman needs to be a literal Wonder Woman.
Yes exactly that! The feminine spirit is beautiful. What's so bad about being soft, nurturing etc? It's wonderful
Amen to that! The balance of softness and strength, demure and relentless, self sacrificing and confidence, plus quiet yet with actions that speak louder. These are just some of the real life qualities that make women great - which got lost in woke feminism
These are traditional female qualities, from time when women didn't need to imitate men to feel powerful and meaningful.

The new Mulan didn’t put “I’ll make a man outta you” because it was “offensive to women.” What’s funny is, that song in the original movie shows Mulan being stronger than men.
I know
I dunno. I think that the training montage showed her keeping up with the guys finally, but what set her apart was her cleverness. She can't match the men in sheer strength, so she has to think her way around problems. Using the weights together, starting the avalanche, etc. She never really overpowers an enemy or wins through brute force. That's what feminist movies do wrong: They force female characters to beat men at what men are good at. Problem is that it devalues what women are good at.

Let's just dispense with the genderering and just call it for what it is which is toxic behaviour.
Ooohhh you put the words straight put of my mouth when I couldn't put it into words! I knew there was something I was hating about these woke feminist films more than the obnoxious protagonists. It was the double standard all along!
THIS.
Toxic feminism indulges in revenge fantasies against a perceived patriarchy that is supposedly supported by every single male on the planet. Little wonder they just come off as insufferable fascists, for that's precisely what they are. Try pointing this out to any Toxic SJW "feminist", & instead of engaging in anything resembling reasoned debate, focus all their energy upon shutting you up.
It's a VERY strange & increasingly twisted world we live in today. At the same time when massive strides toward equality & acceptance of not just women but different sexualities & gender identities HAVE been made (compare the '80s to now, dimwit historians!), that a vocal minority of rabid sociopaths should be attempting to shut down every dissenting voice & establish a fascist matriarchy in which EVERYTHING male is automatically considered bogus at best, & evil at worst.

In the original version of mulan, she isn’t stronger than the people around her but uses her wit to succeed. The new mulan is just inherently stronger than everyone she comes across.
And in the original, she doesn't have super power and she is aware that she is physically inferior to men. But she still pushes through and saves the day by mind and will power. THAT was the part that was so empowering. The hope that average, everyday women can also follow this path, accept their limits and still rise.
The new Mulan has superpowers and is just superior to everyone. At the end of the movie, you're just left thinking that: "God, if I had superpowers... But I don't".
Exactly the same thing happened with The Legend of Korra. It's just so forced
Exactly!!! When I first watched the original Mulan I was so inspired and empowered by how despite being the weakest among her peers, she pushes through to sacrifice and fight like nobody else. the real power does not come from sth supernatural, it is all about mind and perseverance.
like, it's actually sexist in my eyes to make movies with female leads like this. People start to hate them and they eventually don't want female roles.
It's almost like they are admitting they need a handicap.
Hermione was the most intelligent out of the trio but she ALWAYS reminded Harry that HE was the one who had to defeat Voldemort, and supported Ron by making him feel more confident. She never tried to do something without them, rather she was sure they needed to work as a team, and she was next to them, not below, not above. Even after the other two would always recognize they couldn't do it without her, she used her intelligence to compliment Harry's and even Ron's personal skills. That's why I loved her and she was my role model as a kid.
If I remember correctly she wasn’t even just “naturally gifted” she had to work twice as hard with her little time necklace thing
And more importantly, she wasn't a perfect goddess (not talking about the movies but the books). She had her flaws and she dealt with it.
I never liked hermoine, mainly because of her personality, but I definitely have to agree, pretty decent character as well.
@@harveyquinn3535 it was more she chose to word harder because she enjoyed it.
There were certain aspects of Hermione that I didn't like, but they had nothing to do with her being female. She was often dismissively arrogant, especially toward Ron, and treated people less intelligent than her as either someone to be pitied or dismissed. But see, those are personal traits that I dislike in men as well. And despite this, there was no denying that she commanded respect for how she developed herself and worked with those around her. Sort of like an arrogant quarterback who thinks they ARE the team (something I hate) but nevertheless works with the team such that all members succeed (something I admire). Hermione personifies what I'd see as the ideal feminist: don't tell her she CAN'T do it, but also know that she is as prone as anyone else to being less than perfect. What we've gotten with woke culture however, is that nothing is perfect UNTIL it involves a woman.
I'm glad you mentioned Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor! She's literally the first character that comes to mind when talking about actual feminist characters. Sarah Connor has a great character arc. She starts out as your average 80's teenage girl but grows into a cyborg killer. She's great and not just because she shoots rifles and has a athletic body, but she's resourceful and competent at what she does!

In Popculture at least, i oppose Wokeness - the Sludgehammer-Diversity.
I always explain it real-simple: Diversity is good and LGBT is good,
so Owl House is just good Representation. Great even.
Current Star Trek, Star Wars and Owl House meanwhile; guess what;
are 'Wokeness'.
Not everyone gets this,
a lot of people think nothing is woke, a lot think everything lgbt-representing is woke,
both is objectively wrong.
It aint your fault though (i guess) as the Word is not-clear-defined and BIG.
So yeah, the Woke are clearly overreacting in some Cases,
at least if you ignore that LGBT is still the unfairly-opressed thing that the most-infantile
Groups on our Plan hate-with-a-damn-hot-Passion.
But we also cant ignore the obvious fact that the Right mainly oppose Wokeness
and mainly associate it with the Left,
is just them being infantile once again. Its just them being really, really infantile.
Even those that arent infantile little phobic's are totally seeing this as a 'LEFT ISSUE FROM THE EVIL LEFTTTT!!'.
Many Left are not aware that Wokeness (in one defintion of the word) literally
kills Franchises, even if we dont count-in 'Diversity-Hires' and 'Checkbox-Hires'
as part of Wokeness. And many Right dont seem to know how opressed LGBT
is, how targeted it is, and much more.

Thank you for this video! I've been calling these things toxic feminism for years now! I love hearing other fellow women speaking out about it. And yes, WW1 was the only female superhero movie done right.
they took the idea of “a woman can be anything” and made it “here’s a woman that can do everything” and it just reinforces the idea that you have to be perfect in every way and it’s what everyone should expect of you
didnt filmento say that
Not to mention that a lot of 'strong female characters' are written to essentially be men in women's bodies, and it kind of pushes a narritave that being feminine makes you weak. The tender, nurturing side of a woman is very underappreciated these days.
toxic feminism enforces everything orginal feminism was trying to end
There's also the unintended consequence that the real message little girls get is that if they are not perfect at birth, then they are failures. Do you feel unsure of yourself or fear; then that's not a normal human experience there's something wrong with you. You tried something and didn't ace it, then their's either something wrong with you OR the game is rigged. And if the game is rigged you work to get the rules changed because the only reason for your failure MOST be that the system is against you.
That message, that you are secretly great but that the system is against you, is a horrible message. Because the woke focus on the 'you are great' part; but in reality you are not born great. You have to work and earn it. So when people fail (as they must) they blame 'society / the system'. Social change and progress is good, but the real message here becomes you are powerless in the world. All the power lies with society, you have no control of your life; only the 'others' do.
And that's a horrible way to try to go through life. You can see it it some many woke movements:
The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations
Exactly, and, like another video (about the latest Charlie's angels movie) highlighted it, if a character can do everything, is equally good at everything, then she's ultimately particularly good at nothing, hence not remarkable, not admirable and not endearing. COUGH COUGH *Mary-Sue COUGH!
The way I felt relieved after hearing a woman talk....A brown woman at that!
Finally someone talking about how toxic this "woke" feminism is and how it's ruining society instead of making it better as those "feminists" claim to be.
Yes! I'm an Indian and this made me sigh with relief.
You’re glad that women (and minority women) are finally part of this discussion? You sound woke.
Original Mulan used her Wit, creativeness, leadership, and abiity to inspire her comrades made her character strong.
completely agree, ill never forget the seen were she wraps the weights around the pole to climb it, she uses her cunning to get the arrow down showing that you don't have to be physically strong to be a strong person
And probably most importantly of all, in both the original ballad and the earlier Disney film, she turns down honours and titles in favour of humble retirement. Couldn't be a sharper contrast to the warmongering 'get ready for Mulan 2!' 2020 ending.
new mulan has had superpowers since age three
Mulan 2020 is just awful
And if period correct would have gotten her entire family despatched as such an action would have brought immediate shame and disgrace upon the families name. Because history.
we love heroes not because they are heroes its because what sacrifices and hardship they had to go through to become a one
Never seen the new Mulan, but if she has "powers" I will NEVER watch it. The reason Mulan is my favorite Disney movie is that she is a normal village girl who joins the military and quickly becomes known as the runt (Obviously, she has no training, stamina, or muscle mass. She can barely keep up with her chores). It is only after working hard to keep up that she earns the respect and camaraderie of her fellow soldiers. Even then, she's no stronger than them, but she holds her own and asks for help when needed.
The original Mulan was realistic of a female soldier of today. Strong, but not unrealistically so. Keeps up with everyone else and has respect for her fellow fighters. Doesn't expect special treatment, but asks for help when needed.
This comment deserves more likes 👍
and what makes her able to defeat the villain in the original is her creativity and quick thinking. and these traits are not just available to women. she just happens to be another soldier with different sets of strength in battle, but coincidentally a woman
@@doctorkuroshi Exactly, and she didn't do it alone, she recruited the help of her friends and it was a team effort with every member playing to their strengths.
I won't watch the remakes regardless, they're just a cash grab because they can't think of anything better to do.
Mulan had a dragon in it, its hardly realistic, but still really good
Everytime it highlighted "She is black/lesbian/trans/wse" I ask myself: "Okay... but... why does it make her better?"
I mean: Why is it relevant for her role, that she sleep with women in her freetime?
Best example for this in your video: The Doctor "I got an upgrade" ---- Why is it an upgrade? And whats the next step?
I got so furious when the BBC announced the new companion for Capaldi's Doctor (the one before they turned him into a chick for no reason 🙄) and they went screaming all over the global media "our first openly gay companion!!!" I was like, "I'm fucking sorry, but who the fucking hell were Jenny, her alien wife Vastra, and CAPTAIN JACK I WILL SHAG ANYTHING THAT BREATHES AND MANY THINGS THAT DON'T AS WELL HARKNESS???!? And, of course, her ENTIRE character was "oh I'm gay and I'm in love with a girl I'll never see again." Yeaaaah, I flipped a few tables over that shit 🤬🤬🤬
@@kristideeley The BBC is killing the show by going out of their way to please any/every group/lifestyle that may be slighted. they are more worried about who they've included than actual quality. It was much better when they had to hide political/moral ideas in the stories to get it past the censors or the bigshots in power. People used to have to think, now it's what PC propaganda do we get this time.

an example of a platform clouded with wokeness is tiktok and twitter. they dont become 'woke' as they intend to be, but rather retarded, shown with their degenerate attitude by attacking people who may or may not raise a finger on them nevertheless with mindless and rage-fueled comments.

No, they’re allowed to be good female characters who embrace the fact that they’re female, yall are just misogynists
I feel like Moana is a great female lead, she struggles with society’s expectations but her main character development is tied to overcoming her flaws, which she does
Plus right from the get go the movie let's you know that her father doesn't want her to sail because of her gender but because he's afraid and she's meant to be their next leader.
Perhaps the character Moana herself was done well, however, her success during her story telling also required that Maoi, the demi-god that supposedly did so much for humanity and was so amazing at being a demi-god, had to behave like an egotistical self serving misogynist. She literally has to force him to help her save the world, while his plan was to... what, run away to nowhere? I think the beginning of Moana's story was set up pretty well, but like most current Disney/Hollywood stories that have come out lately, establishing the Heroine's worth requires that male counterparts have to either act like douchebags, or get their asses handed to them in 1v1 or 1vMany scenarios. From a realistic standpoint, I'd rather the Heroine motivate change through her actions rather than get into a verbal pissing contest, or worse, physically fight off male characters who solely exist to be a bully that deserves an ass kicking. The latter being the most unrealistic scenario for audience members to accept because 9 times out of 10, women lose to men in physical bouts of strength.
This is a terrible formula for both young women, and young men. Reason being, it teaches young women that they have to be needlessly aggressive or assertive when dealing with boys/men, rather than reserving that approach only for bullies. But since these stories teach that men NEVER acknowledge women until getting a beat down, well now young women go into the world thinking that they need to prove themselves to every male they run into because obviously, every male has no respect for a woman until it happens. Which means there's no room for women to embrace their femininity because somehow, it's now a weakness when it comes to earning respect.
As for why it's bad for young men, it's because they no longer have any good male role models in these stories to look up to. Maoi should have been a good role model for boys, but as the movie portrayed, Maoi had NO redeeming qualities. He gave up when things got hard for him at every turn, belittled Moana because she was a girl, and ran away in the end. I don't know why he would have come back after his hook was broken when all throughout the movie, he clearly always meant what he said when he didn't want to risk his neck for humanity. He took an action that was in direct conflict to how the story set his character up, and did something completely out of character for the sake of a last ditch effort to paint him in a good light before the story inevitably gets its happy ending. This is horrible for young boys.
I don't see his character that way. He's an arrogant jerk, yeah but Moana is a force all her own and would likely have treated anyone who tried to runaway the same way. I think it's just that Moana's character finally got through to him in the end. Plus he's a god and when you look through literature of most gods they're arrogant and self serving. The point is they see and experience the world differently not because of gender but because she's human and he's a god. Plus he's the epitome of the saying, "no good deed goes unpunished." He helped out humans before but only did it to benefit himself and in turn caused more problems. The lesson I think is to see how when he finally helps someone for unselfish reasons, things work out for him. Or I could be wrong and it's just the optimist in me wanting to see it that way but that's my opinion.
@@SeraphimDragon Hmmm I didn't think about it that way. I'm not saying you're wrong, since they didn't really explain why he came back, so it's up to interpretation. But the way I saw it was, I do think that he did care about humanity--I mean, that was the whole cause of this mess, he took Te Fiti's heart because he wanted to use it to save humanity--time and his failure just made him bitter about it, as well as nobody remembering him. But ultimately I think not only did Moana's desire to save the ocean get him to change his mind, he also remembered that--his original desire to protect and save humanity. So they were united, in the end, by that commonality, Maui just had to think about it a little bit more. Moana is one of my favorite movies (mostly for the emphasis on family and ancestors--I cried at everything about the Grandma) and I think Moana has a rightful place among the Disney Princesses, even if she isn't really one herself xD
It’s fine to have sexism represented in a film because it does exist, but annoying when it seems like the character is looking for it.

But that's not true! Let's be honest: most of the time it's not society holding you back, its your own flaws... real people aren't born perfect, we grow and we learn and that makes us strong :)

"Can Hollywood come up with a better villain than society?" 🤣🤣🤣
Hollywood won't. They don't have the guts. I hate to admit it; Hollywood is one of many reasons why society is failing and why there is so much corruption.
But it's almost like Hollywood wants society to be the 'villain', because that is the narrative that will drive them attention; much like how the nfl, wwe, and us govt do certain things.
Yes. KK. The all time SW villain.
I had never heard it said like this, but I’m gonna start using it now. It’s perfectly said.

Such an amazing on point message, 100% correct in every single aspect!
What's this?! A sensible, rational, well-thought out, factual, much-needed video about the toxic woke feminism in our media?! FROM A WOMAN?! I subscribed immediately. 🙂
So did I when I first saw this. And I’ve been very happy with her other content
Well said, #metoo subscribed ! haha
XD!
From a THINKING WOMAN....folks here like you get it
No, this is a bunch of bias bullshit trying to paint movies that have absolutely nothing to do with it, as "woke Feminists." There is no difference between Captain Marvel and say Rey, Rey is a badly written character, Captain Marvel is a well written character. This has literally nothing to do with feminism. This video is just stupid. And this is all coming from someone who agrees with the underlying point, that "Strong female lead" or that feminism in movies is wrong. The female batman, bad, female versions of other stories are bad. But this video just goes into the personal opinions of the maker, it means nothing.
"why do you need to put down every man before you" YES. Empowering women DOESN'T MEAN demeaning men! Thank you!
Thats what villains do, like captain marvel being a woman so she can't be a captain, and her torturing a guy cause he flirted and she decided to use her powers on a normal human. Also it was a lame movie, she did'nt overcome anything, she just one shot the boss while barely moving an inch. What "action" If i do say so myself
facts!!
You have to demand first for equality. Men dont understand otherwise
@@darkg5103 how is saying "I'm better than you because I'm wahmen" demanding equality. This is actually the exact opposite of equality; poorly-written female superhero characters who have never overcome huge odds are given special treatment; hence, not equality.
@@aparna2701 are you a troll? A boy with a girl profile
"Why do they need to kneel down for you to stand up." One of the most spot on observations about what's wrong with our culture, summarized in one simple, eloquent sentence.
because "you" don't stand up .. but once everyone kneels down .. it looks like you're bigger
and that is exactly what feminism pushes for at least the last 10 years if not far longer
@David Benson you can interpret that kneeling literaly or figuratively both fits. but yes pretty much what i also said.
feminists embody what they accuse men of
They want to paint this picture of empowerment, but anytime you have to make someone weaker to be stronger it really defeats the whole idea and meaning of empowerment.....
@@ShadowString_Edward_Johnson and there cancel culture and accusations of misogyny jump in (or in other "progressive" contexts .. accusations of racism or xx-phobia)

One thing that is still actual theses days is that women have to put WAY MORE efforts than men to be taken seriously and have the credit they should already have
Absolutely brilliant explanation! So glad it has 6.3 million views!
"Our movie did bad because men don't like powerful women."
Alien, Tomb Raider, Metroid, Uncharted, a lot of Tarantino movies, Wonder Woman, Terminator, The Last of Us, and so many more.

Pretty much all Ghibli movies. The most successful anime films of all times.
Resident evil.
Showing the fear on Eowyn's face when she sees the Witch King's flail is such a great moment! It's not that she's perfect or invincible, it's that she has true courage. That was a big part of what made those movies so great. Even ARAGORN showed fear in the face of danger. True courage is not fearlessness, it's overcoming fear.
I was thinking the same. This scene is so powerful in the movies and even more in the books. Eowyn is just standing there, facing a nearly-immortal being thousands of years old, because she wants to protect her dying Father and because it's her duty as a knight of Rohan. The fact that Eowyn and Merry kill the King of the Nazgul is such a mindblowing moment. It's not a free victory either: they both get their arm permanently damaged, they pay the price for choosing to fight a being that is absurdly stronger than they would ever be.
@@TheDarkever I absolutely loved that scene.
Kim Wexley in Better Call Saul is an amazing strong female character too. She stood up against bully clients and drug cartels. AMAZING! She is my top favorite strong female character along with Princess Leia, Ahsoka Tano, Ripley and Sarah Connor to name a few.

It for sure is a uncomfortable topic to talk about between women.
Kudos to you for caring enough to bring it up.
In reality, they are the ones brainwashed by the patriarchy :/

"It's about time we had a true strong female in star wars!"
-Women who hate Star Wars or have never seen it
Also people tend to forget about Ahsoka Tano.
Even though we already have Ahsoka, who is a much better character than Rey will ever be.
Exactly....
Leia is one of my favourites to this day.
They want a strong HUMAN woman in star wars so they are actually specieist cause apparently Ahsoka doesn't count.
Moana, Zootopia, kill Bill series and Hunger games are some great examples of movies with female as lead character.
All woke
@@redboxgamingyt3452 ¿? They didn't paint neither Moana's Dad nor Maui as greedy. Anyone with half a brain understands that the dad is obviously worried for a very justifiable reason, like for example a trauma that scarred him for life. And Maui wasn't greedy, he was self-centered at first but then learned that by collaborating he could get out the best of himself while helping Moana to strive towards a larger goal that benefitted him too. Near the end of the movie, he became angry with Moana for, again, a very justifiable reason, because Moana's recklessness had made them risk their own lives. Moana also understood her mistake and listened to Maui, and finally, both got what they wanted, all because they were willing to cooperate with each other.
Regarding Zootopia, ¿did you even watch the movie? Even if Judy, a prey (who are actually the majority of the population) is the protagonist and suffered from discrimination, Nick and other predators were the minority that suffered most of the discrimination even if they were in a position of power compared to the preys. It's not a story about the discrimination of a minority, is a story about how evil individuals can manipulate gullible people into believing that racism and segregationism are good, also advocating that the way to achieve equality for everybody is not by bringing others down, but by rising each other up. If anything is an anti-discrimination story.

When everyone is a Queen, no one is.
Nice truth-telling, Syndrome.
Exactly, when everyone has a million bucks, it has no meaning, when every woman is a queen, it's a meaningless name
@@llllllllsssss5468 I have to disagree sum what, I think ALL women should strive to live by the qualities of being a queen. Not so much from a literal sense but living up to being the best person a woman can be.
@@tikifreaky5204I think you misunderstood me slightly, it's not that every woman shouldn't be living their best life (they should)

Wow. This was so good. Great expose!!!!! You really nailed it!!
The characters in Alien (1979) were written genderless, and cast only according to personality. That's why they feel like real people.
If that is indeed true, then I’ve just gained an entirely new respect for Alien
That was a promotion gimmick and not how they actually cast the actors. Ripley was always meant to be a woman and only women auditioned for the role of Ripley.
@@clary3020 Well gimmick or not, it clearly worked!
thats how all movies should be written,, genderless and raceless and just hire whoever fits the part best. like its not that hard. but i guarantee disney goes "its going to be a strong brave black woman cuz we are progressive"
@@ikeepgettinbanned5525 - Except that "raceless" is often code for "an essentially white character that might just happen to have non-white skin." That is, a character that says and does things that any white character might do, but "just happens to be non-white".
For example, in the MCU, War Machine is pretty much a "raceless" character that "just happens to be" black, because he's never done or said anything that a white character wouldn't. But Falcon is not a "raceless" black character, because he actually has said and done things that would be more expected of a black character than a white one. Such as telling Tony that he'd have to "go Mark Furman on my ass to get info out of me". Or such as recommending Marvin Gaye's TroubleMan blacksploitation soundtrack album to Cap, and later listening to it at Cap's hospital bedside. Would we want to water down Falcon to not say or do such things, so that he can be "raceless"?
Getting back to your proposal more generally about making all characters genderless and raceless.
Well, it depends on the story. Would it have made sense for the lead character in Tootsie to be "genderless" and have both men and women auditioning for the part? And would it have made sense for both men and women to audition for Julia Robert's part in Pretty Woman? Or non-blacks to be auditioning for Richard Roundtree's part in Shaft? Etc, etc. The stories wouldn't make sense (or at least be taken far from the writers' vision) by changing the genders/race of those characters.
Hell, even something like Beverly Hills Cop, which could indeed have a "raceless" lead character. They first wanted Sylvester Stallone for the lead (and I think he could have done well, given his Demolition Man performance), but when they changed it to Eddie Murphy, they took advantage of his being black which allowed them to do things with the character that they couldn't have done with Sly. Which is to say, I think the movie would've worked with Sly, but it worked differently with Murphy, precisely because they did NOT make the character "raceless".
A character's demographic characteristics can impact the story (and sometimes is vital to the story, like in Tootsie or Pretty Woman or Shaft), and there's nothing wrong with that.
I feel like the female warriors in black panther where a great example of powerful women who where not obsessed with Identity politics.
