Men argue about what's true. Women argue about who's allowed to say it. That's why the second one always wins in politics.

@Deplorable_Degenerate @coded_artist there just wasn't attention drawn to it and that was so much better for their cause. They took it too far and now they can't stop.

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. 🙄
