I'll admit that going back and rewatching things I used to like has been a mistake largely.

I still like Aliens, and like you said it doesn't beat you in the head with the feminism angle. But Ripley and Vasquez are both clearly still girl boss archetypes. They have better personal flaws that grounds them as characters. They aren't perfect, they aren't always right, and they still depend on men often enough for support but once you start noticing it is hard to stop. This was always a step towards a larger agenda.

That and I didn't remember Vasquez being that small. The actress is tiny and seeing her running with a heavy weapon like a smart gun is almost comical when they're first breeching the colony.

But if I bring this up and get the "you're just imagining things!" spiel from the same people that would be tearing a modern feminist crap piece together with me I am probably going to get cranky with them.

Like those retard faggots that screech how Warhammer 40K isn't satire. It just makes them come across as brain dead. While they've been toned down with time 40K always had satirical elements to it but you've got Omega Chud over here who doesn't want to accept the idea that a bunch of British nerds in the 80s were poking a bit of fun at religion or whatever. You can still like something without the authors agreeing with everything you think. You don't need to imagine Paul Veerhoven as turbo based to like Starship Troopers.

Then they call YOU the tourist. 🙄

i sometimes see people saying things along the lines of "X story and Y story tackle the same 'woke' issue but you still like X story even though you hate Y story so you're just a hypocrite!"

what these people fail to understand about "the message" and "woke" shit is that it isn't abrasive because of the actual topic, it's abrasive because of the way the topic is delivered.

it's the difference between things being tryhard and being genuine. between trying to appeal to a certain demographic (or repel one) and being tactful.

the interesting thing is that, by and large, this is an issue with those who create things on both sides of the political spectrum. however, the people who actually consume it on the left far outnumber those on the right, seemingly. it shows to me that the left doesn't exactly care how a story is told or a character is portrayed, only that it is something that they agree with, and the opposite is true for the right. speaking in broad strokes, of course.

it's the same sort of thing you see with the right and left between realism and idealism, respectively. the idealists cannot see reality, in the same way that they cannot see how a person could possibly like one video game and hate another one even though they have the same themes because one is simply done better.

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN

That mean's you can ask me to draw for you a thing, and I will draw it, and you pay me whatever! Just don't ask for anything crazy ok

Just look at this bean! She's very expensive to feed! You wouldn't want her to go hungry, would you?

I have enough context clues to hazard a few guesses.

I think over the next five years we'll see a lot of disclosures of terrible parenting by women. Lindsay, her lawyer and her phalanx of minions pushed the button. I don't think there's any undoing it.

>Trump: Iran wants to make a deal.
>Reporter: Have you heard from them directly?
>Trump: Yeah.
