Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

Alison Bechdel wasn't intending to start the whole thing - she was really noticing something Virginia Woolf already had sixty years before her - but she did anyway. It was really only a joke in her comic (the joke being that the last movie the protagonist saw under those conditions was Alien) but it took off anyway. To her credit, though, she's been a good sport about it.
By the same token, most real women I know wouldn't pass the Bechdel Test.
 
I'm pretty sure the Black Panthers did something similar back in the day and also left intact, at least on that occasion.

Yeah, they did, but some of them were a bit more disruptive and were convicted of misdemeanors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party#Protest_at_the_Statehouse

It does my heart good to see those men so devotedly defending the capitol steps like that.
 
While Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and On the Basis of Sex pass the test, Pacific Rim: Uprising and Transformers (2007) also pass the test.
I'd say that's kind of the point of the "test". It's a literal bare minimum kind of thing. While it was originally a joke, it does point out the fact that a lot of movies cannot even meet this standard, and it's largely unnoticed at first.

Because of two months of WuFlu, you automatically get the deed to whatever shack you happen to be living in.

This idea couldn't possibly backfire.
Yeah! That's right! Cancel all rent and mortgages!

Force all those landlords to have to take mortgages themselves and then give their mortgaged buildings to the bank when they can't pay!

Have the banks throw your stupid asses out on the street when you can't pay the hiked-up rents they're implementing!

Who needs to think about consequences? DADDY! I WANNA FEEL VALIDATED NOOOOOOOW!
 
To be fair, SA is a shithole that we should be condemning a lot more than we do. Somehow, I reached the conclusion that they should both be condemned, and she seems to think it means we should criticise NK less. Doesn't make sense to me, but there you go!
Bitch, if Donald Trump closed the doors to Saudi Arabia tomorrow, you'd all be clutching your pearls over "Islamophobia." You guys have proven time and time again that you don't actually care about the evils of Middle Eastern culture. In fact, you absolutely adore those misogynistic, homophobic, violent pigs.

That's a troon btw.

I think the problem is trying to use a one off joke a serious standard for measuring artistic feminism.
Personally I’d rather have a movie just be a movie than try to pass some arbitrary test, ie treat female and minority characters as characters rather than something to check off a list.
 
When it comes to the Bechdel Test, I think it is an arbitrary test that doesn't measure quality. While Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and On the Basis of Sex pass the test, Pacific Rim: Uprising and Transformers (2007) also pass the test.
What's funny is I remember SJWs wanting to add another kind of test based on Pacific Rim. I think it was named after the female protagonist of the film, and it was something about films passing if they had a female character go on a fulfilling character arc.

The reason they wanted to institute this test? Because Pacific Rim didn't pass the Bechdel Test, but they loved it. So rather than having to cede any moral high ground, they wanted to make a new test that Pacific Rim passed, just so it was acceptable for them to like the film.

It really emphasises just how morally hollow all these SJWs are, establishing rules that have to be followed - but forcing justifications for why, when they don't follow those rules, it's OK. Not just OK - it's good, actually. Because it can't ever be enough that hey, some films don't pass the Bechdel Test but that doesn't mean they're bad films; instead, they'll make up a new purity test that the film does pass that makes it OK for them to enjoy it.

The Bechdel Test is pretty much useless on a film-by-film basis - I think it's only useful in terms of how many films don't pass it when they probably could, or should. SJWs will stretch it to the limit to make it something they can use to judge whether a film is morally acceptable or not (Gravity, for example, which is a film where the only person onscreen is Sandra Bullock for the majority of its running time, barely passes) - but as is to be expected by now, they'll also create some other criteria when it clashes with their reaction.

tl;dr: The subjects of this thread are horrible people.

Broke: "This is feminist, so I like it."
Woke: "I like this, so it's feminist."
Bespoke:" "I like this, so I'm going to change the definition of the word 'feminist' to include this."
 
Remember the dumb troon that was sperging about "orcs in D&D are raycisssssst!"?

Pointing out that they were having a catastrophic and hysterical chimp out over a game they don't even play is now "targeted transphobia."

And in youtube-related SJW fuckery, there's a new plug-in that will flag users names in red if they've been deemed "transphobic", including trans people like @sophnar0747 -

And naturally, the enbies are up in arms, because their flavour of genderspecial isn't being treated as anything beyond insanity -

Edit - of course there's some completely exceptional fuck arguing that transphobes would "totally date people they're irrationally afraid of!" -

There has to be a bingo somewhere because it’s always either SPOP or SU.

You gotta love the implication of that racists still date outside of their race. Apparently some women just have so little respect for themselves that they would commit to someone who doesn't see them as an equal.
