Right.
Your entry into this thread announced that you found what you described as “feminist chest thumping” to be tiresome. You explained that everybody else liked Wonder Woman (a film you have not seen) for entirely the wrong reasons. Then you described why we should actually all be grateful that there are so few action films featuring female leads.
Oh, but you’re certainly not telling anybody else how or what to think. You’re just expressing an opinion.
Right.
Sorry, no. Everything you have said in this thread follows a common theme – you’re telling everybody else here that they are wrong, that you’re the only one who knows what he’s talking about, that everybody else’s experience is invalid, and that their voices and ideas are not worthy of being heard.
And when you get called out on it, when all these other people try to explain to you that no, we have reasons to feel the way we do about this, instead of trying to learn from them, and instead of taking a moment to reflect and wonder why nobody here agrees with you, you decide to double down, and choose to be indignant.
No, but absolutely everything you have said screams that you believe their opinions and experiences to be worthless. You’re attempting to retreat to “that’s just, like, my opinion man” when your “opinion” belittles and erases the real experience of millions of people for whom this movie resonates; when your opinion dismisses others’ genuine concerns and frustrations and informed observations as “trite”; when you relentlessly attack and disdain everybody else’s observations and ignorant and less than your own.
You don’t understand what these people are telling you, or why this film impacts them they way it does. Fine. You could choose to recognize that there’s something you don’t understand, and you could try to learn from it. You could choose to respect the experience and feelings of others, even when you don’t personally share them. But instead, you’ve chosen to dismiss them as invalid, and attack them over and over.
And then you choose to get upset when the people you’re dismissing point out that they would prefer not to be dismissed. Because obviously we’re being the jerks, here.
Right.
