Poor Faye (spoilers)

Faye seemed like a decent person who didn't deserve her fate. Her idiot boyfriend and his two idiot camera men did, though.

Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you. Not anymore.

I remember she was a bitch, but she wasn't a rotten as the rest of the guys. I don't think I felt sorry for her, though. While she didn't support extreme cruelty, she was in fact enjoying herself during many nasty acts against the natives.

What? Faye was just as bad as the rest. She stood by and allowed them to commit their vile acts and enjoyed recording them.
Notice how her objection to the rape wasn't the fact they raped the woman, but the fact they were wasting footage on it

Also notice how she really flipped only when Alan was about to take his turn. The fact that she wasn't the only girl for once and her realization of what a *beep* boyfriend she truly had both came to light. But even that didn't stop her from venturing on. Just as *beep* up and corrupt as the rest of em.

Exactly. She cared more that her BF was basically cheating on her than she did that a women was being raped.

Exactly.

Bingo. That, and the fact that recording the rape was using up 'precious' film.

Faye was, in my mind, the lesser of the evils. She still had blood on her hands. Originally, I mentioned that she tried to intervene the raping of the tribal woman because I thought she did it out of human decency. Then someone said she only stepped in because they were wasting film.

All three of them were rotten human beings. Not an ounce of sympathy from me.

Faye was as screwed up and as evil as the rest of them, which is why she meets the same fate.

When Professor Monroe goes to meet with the natives and tries to get the footage, he is treated with apprehension at first and then with kindness; because he's not an evil sick *beep*. Faye was.

I'm sorry, but did you just group racists and feminists together?

passive aggressive. Kind of like your typical racist white woman or white feminist.

If you're asking if he's creating a super passive aggressive group of racist white feminists, then no. What he said is that Faye is a passive aggressive, like racist white women. Then using the comparator OR he compared her to white feminists.

Quite why he'd use WHITE feminists is a mystery though, since feminists in general are passive aggressive.
