And your political agenda is so pure?

Since mine is just treating people with respect and allowing them to exist, yes.

You'd come off as a lot more respectful if you quit using the word "manbabies" to dismiss opinions that you don't like. It's about as tiresome a phrase as "SJW."

Some opinions are so obviously based on a sexist agenda that they don't deserve respect, only mockery. Saying that white men don't get a fair shake in life or are being silenced in one of them and I really have no desire to even bother debating it.

Speaking as someone that just recently got into a disagreement with @Awesome Possum about the portrayal of a female character, I can attest I was *not* on the receiving end of such dismissive derision. Presumably because said arguments where not based on misogyny or other such nonsense, but honest subjective opinion and an inability to reconcile internal character logic. At no time was I disrespected, so I'm confident if Possum is throwing around language like that, it's both selective and probably deserved.

That makes sense but it would have been nice for them to include a shot of her at the end going off on her own, maybe with Star Lord or Nebula calling after her and her looking back with an ambiguous, wistful expression before leaving them behind. Or maybe just flying around on a space motorcycle during Tony's speech at the end.

Maybe, but in the words of Nick Fury... I mean did you want them to squeeze the scouring of the Shire in there too?

It's not though is it, it's extreme censorship and shutting down any opinion you don't agree with with vile accusations on their character.

I so agree.

No it’s not. She didn’t say that we should never hear from white men, just that we should hear more voices. You can’t just lie and recreate what she said to prove a point not based in reality.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

she "started paying attention to what my press days looked like and the critics reviewing movies, and noticed it appeared to be overwhelmingly white male." After that, she "decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive" to give the same opportunities to everyone.

I don‘t see how this can possibly be understood to be discriminatory against white men.

Well, you have to be delusional or trying to suck up to delusional people.

Just a question... but why did she draw attention to white men if she wasn't using them as a metric herself?

 

[Spot261]

Wrong again. You might want to look up what slander is. Second, her quote is racist, as it discriminates against a race (white people), ageist (since it discriminates against 40 year olds), and sexist (since it discriminates against men). Try substituting black for white, or women for men and see if you change your mind.

It’s sad that some have to lie and ignore how society functions just to claim they have a point.

You’re trying really hard to troll me by being transphobic. Remember that you aren’t in TNZ anymore. You don’t get to do that here.
