Fury Road was not some kind of calculated propaganda made in California it was made by George Miller, a respected old white Australian filmmaker, in exactly the way he wanted it to be, and it is perfectly in line with his previous Mad Max movies, which also featured powerful female characters like Auntie Entity, and that blonde woman in The Road Warrior. Neither of those movies were offensive in the ways that their detractors claimed. A man named Aaron Clarey wrote an article that derided Mad Max: Fury Road as being feminist propaganda, and the character of Rey was introduced to the Star Wars universe and was called a "Mary Sue" by a portion of the Star Wars fanbase. This entire debate over modern movies seemed to begin in 2015, when two things happened. This entrenched sexism was just lying in wait for things to lash out at. When it comes to movies and pop culture, I say that they are the ones who struck first. They don't like the freedoms that we have, and fiercely advocate separate roles in society for men and women, always in such a way that men have more power and women have far less. They have millions of followers, and one of the cornerstones of their worldview is a a form of doctrinaire sexism. There are alt-right figures like Rollo Tomassi, Stephen Molyneux, Noah Revoy, Jordan Peterson, Gavin McInness, and many others of their kind out there. There are angry Elliot Rodger-stanning incels all over the internet. If you believe that "sexism exists out there, somewhere, but I haven’t found it," then I guess you're lucky. If you can't draw a bright and distinct line in your mind between annoying people online and the things they promote, that's a failing. If I found myself not wanting to see Wonder Woman 1984 because I associated Krysten Wiig with being yelled at by overzealous feminists on Metafilter, I would be horrified at the weakness of my character. Krysten Wiig has nothing to do with the people who comment on Metafilter, and I can't wait to see her as the Cheetah. who cares? It's not going to make me feel bitter towards the next Ghostbusters movie, or the four actresses who starred in it. So some people on Metafilter yelled at me because I didn't like Ghostbusters 2016. I loved Green Book and the third season of True Detective, both of which he starred in. So an article called me racist? It's not going to make me feel bitter towards Mahershala Ali.

Paul Feig might make a movie someday that I really like. So yes, being accused of racism and sexism is not fun.īut at no point could I ever see myself becoming so hurt by false accusations that I started making "scathing reviews" about every Paul Feig movie, or trashing any movie starring Mahershala Ali, and rooting for them to fail before ever seeing them. Once, I even saw an article on a liberal news site that asserted that the only reason I haven't yet seen the Oscar-winning film Moonlight was because I must be racist, and also hate gay people. They also yelled at me because I didn't see anything inherently wrong with Scarlett Johnassen being cast in Ghost in the Shell. In 2016, certain people yelled at me because I thought that Ghostbusters 2016 was a horrid piece of crap. I myself have received pushback from the Social Justice crowd at times.
There's always someone who says that "sexism exists out there, somewhere, but I haven’t found it," and that the real issue here is that people are getting angry because they see others that are "screeching that anyone who doesn’t like the movie is sexist, which just gives people a reason to make scathing reviews about woke movies because they’re tired of being called sexist." Whenever the subject of "wokeness" and superhero films starring women comes up, there's a few statements that I see more than any others.
