My confusion about raging antifeminist incels

I get what she was trying to say, but in this day and age, any mention of race, even though thats her entire point, and people lose their minds!

She shouldn't have mentioned skin colour, but at the same time, there are a shitload of white guys that review movies, so shes not wrong.

Is she right to ask the question about whether or not there should be a bit more diversity in the critics? Maybe, but its not as if it was going to help A Wrinkle in Time anytime soon.

Did American tweens skip the movie because of the opinion of a bunch of white guy critics? No, Wrinkle in Time was doomed the second it deviated too much from the book..... and it was crap

I don't disagree with your points here, but can we all please stop using the term 'incels'?

Some, in fact many/most, of the biggest misogynists in the world are the most well-sexed men (Trump, after all, is a multiple-adulterer/three-times divorcee with a string of porn-star girlfriends and mistresses behind him, and was given the rather dubious title of class ladies' man at his military prep school). Some of the most feminist and progressive men are often the least well-sexed (i.e. the guys who are so egregiously concerned about coming across as chauvinist jerks that they refrain from asking women out - a recent study has shown that many Millennial men now regard simply asking a woman out for a coffee may amount to a form of sexual harassment).

Also, be mindful that the term 'incel' was originally conceived by a celibate and progressive woman who wanted to bring lonely people of all genders together. By using the term as a pejorative we're actually playing into the hands of the assholes who have (mis)appropriated the term for their own malign, anti-women, agenda.

I don't care what Bree Larson said and don't care about her politics. But the way said it was ill conceived. All she had do was say "We need more diversity in film criticism." The end. Film Criticism is the least important job on the entire planet. Nobody going die because of someone botched a review. And with something called the "Internet" were anyone can be a film critic. If you really care about Social Justice. You don't make movies for multi-trillion dollar corporation who pay employee in shit. and you don't write film reviews. You go work at soap kitchen. But sometimes a movie just sucks and it has nothing to do with actors politics or Incels. By the way can you come up with better new insults. Incel sound like a exotic Mexican food. Or you could go back to the classic of Poo Poo Head and Do Do Brain.

I'm personally astonished at the mass campaign of hate and derision towards anyone who dares say Capt Marvell is anything less than a ground-breaking women's rights masterpiece. Woe betides any SciFi fan declaring any negative opinion of CM, for it's now considered incel-like hatred towards all womenkind.

Now for the elephant in the room; not a single word has yet to be published explaining how these self-same 'women hating man-babies' can love, adore and damn near worship every female SciFi/Action lead over the last fifty years from Princess Lea to Alita. What about the dissent from a great number of ladies too? What name do these girls deserve from our glorious social puritans? "Women hating girl babies?"

I feel sorry for the makers of Alita Battle Angel because they had the gross temerity to release a female lead superhero movie that found itself competing with CM. That with the protagonist committing numerous sins like daring to have relationships with men, 'gasp' white ones at that. With so many "women hating manbabies" loving Alita, the SJW twisted logic can only assume watching and enjoying Alita must also be some act of hatred towards all women by men.

With the new-wave feminists' complete obsession with race, colour and gender, they would do well to study history to see where it leads starting with the 1930's. REAL feminists over the last 100 years have sacrificed far too much bring equality and mutual respect we enjoy. My father came here to Australia to escape a regime also intolerant of any criticism. He and the rest of the civilised world is well over this race-hatred and recognise it no matter how you re-brand or re-present it.

For all my time on the internet, one thing holds true above all others. Almost no one reads past the headline/title and people will always believe beyond all doubt what fits their narrative.

As for Brie herself, IMO, she’s utterly unlikeable. Granted I’ve not seen much of her, but what little I have I don’t care for. She comes across with a kind of self entitled personality that one has to wonder how she makes it through the day putting up with all the little people surrounding her.

She tweeted this a few years ago: “I merely smiled at a TSA agent and he asked for my phone number. To live life as a woman is to live life on the defense.”. This pretty much sums up who she is as a human being and how she sees others. She doesn’t say he was rude, or that he wouldn’t take no for an answer or anything that might justify vilifying the TSA guy on her twitter feed. His only crime seems to be that he had the audacity to ask her for her number. As thought basic human social interaction was beneath her.

Her fans later tried to mould it into being “inappropriate for a person in authority”, which she jumped on as the reason for her post in the first place. Which is about as true as I have a pet unicorn who only smokes camels because he hates camels and thinks camels are made from real camels. And yes, my unicorn is a boy, and yes he does get a lot of shit for the heavy eye make up he wears, but he doesn’t care, he wants his eyes to pop.

So while, I’m sure things she says are twisted sometimes, for people who aren’t incels it’s going to be because of things like this tweet. A guy asked her out. He didn’t force the issue, he wasn't rude, he didn’t abuse his position, he just asked her out. She said no, and that was that. She decided that was enough to start a conversation about how women are always being attacked. As though being asked out and having some guy screaming “do you take it up the arse?” In the middle of the street is the same thing.
