Putting the boy in boycott.It’s funny how most of these YouTube “boycotters” are white males.
The thing I find funny about so many guys having a problem with female superheroes, is that I think I have at least as many, if not more superhero comics with a woman in the lead as I do men leads in my collection.
I have Batgirl, Batwoman, Black Widow, Mockingbird, Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers), and Catwoman. For men I have Batman, Superman, Dr. Strange, Hulk, Iron Fist, Iron Man, and Thor. I have a few more but those are just the one I can think of without looking. I also have a bunch of non-superhero comics with women as the main character.
Then we should want more like Ripley and then some. And politics (speaking as someone right leaning and voted for Trump) should have nothing to do with movie choices.As a Trump supporter I have no interest in seeing this movie because I'm not interested in comic books, or movies based off of them, but I did know this movie was going to do well because a majority of people aren't bothered by the social message. Now, when I was a kid, I watched Ripley defeat the alien and thought nothing of the fact that she wasn't a man. Her gender didn't matter. She was equal because she wasn't special.
It's a backlash though. When Ripley was a female action hero, there wasn't a movement to call her a female action hero. She was just an action hero. Same when Wesley Snipes was a big movie star. He wasn't marketed as a black movie star, just a movie star.If Alien came out now, the exact same people would complain about Ripley. The movies aren’t the problem, it’s a certain group of people who stir up even more people thanks to the Internet.
Imagine if TOS came out today! Sympathy for silocon mop create--how woke is that!?If Alien came out now, the exact same people would complain about Ripley. The movies aren’t the problem, it’s a certain group of people who stir up even more people thanks to the Internet.
I think they’re more upset that there’s more than one example now. Ripley was fine, as long as she’s the only one. Anything more in an assault on men... somehow. I can’t wrap my head around their thinking, but I do have a fully functioning brain unlike the average MRA.It's a backlash though. When Ripley was a female action hero, there wasn't a movement to call her a female action hero. She was just an action hero. Same when Wesley Snipes was a big movie star.

That's how it was explained to me by a MRA anyway.
