>But really, why would a woman want to come here? An entire genre of film can attest to the appeal of the Old West as the ultimate male fantasy. Like so many of HBO’s programs, particularly its dramas, the park is billed as a unisex adventure but is pretty clearly designed for men. It’s not as universally appealing as its engineers would have us believe.
I wonder how crazy sjws and feminists would go if deadwood and sopranos came out today
Evan Phillips
To be fair, the west is mainly appealing to white men who feel like they were born in the wrong generation and missed out on the freedom of the 'Wild Wild West'.
This childlike fantasy chooses to ignore the groups of minorities living in squalor and oppression on the east coast. The only people who idolize this time period are those who stand to benefit the most from its existence: white men.
Sebastian Harris
even game of thrones would have been ripped harder if it had premiered in say 2014 instead of 2011. HBO got lucky with that.
Carson Allen
Did this writer posit ANYTHING that could be a "Female Fantasy"?
Because that concept couldn't possibly be put forth without immediately being shot down as "Sexist Stereotyping".
Looks like these idiot just stumbled on the truth comedians have known for years, Time travel to the past is EXCLUSIVELY a white fantasy.
Thomas Cox
Nah. Asians are obsessed with that shit too
Daniel Brown
Did they miss the part where the lesbo guest ate pussy, shot people to death and had a generally fun time? Or would that ruin their narrative.
>Did this writer posit ANYTHING that could be a "Female Fantasy"? ecause that concept couldn't possibly be put forth without immediately being shot down as "Sexist Stereotyping".
That's why it's only used in echo chambers now, though it was everywhere about two years ago. You'll rarely see the term now to describe media because they know that will be the first question and critique they get.

The fuck are you on about
Levi Roberts
All they do is bitch
Anthony Nelson
Most of the free world has tuned out this constant drone of complaining about pop culture. Why haven't you?
Bentley Ross
it gets worse
Jordan Carter
The "Wild West" wasn't even that good for white men. It was barely good for anybody. Read All the Pretty Horses.
Carter White
I'm mexican and I would love to go to Westworld and roleplay as a bandito stealing the white women from the white cucks
Sebastian Nguyen
lmao
Oliver Morales
This article was a ruse to make it seem it's a "show for guys". No, it's still crap and it's effeminate and dumb and PC
James Smith
just don't give these """"journalists"""" attention
Michael Nelson
You're supposed to be mexican but you can't spell bandido? Nice try Josh
Grayson Gutierrez
Bandito is the english translation of bandido, for some reason, compadre
David Williams
Mata'te imbecil
Cooper Green
I think he was trying to spell bandaid
Tyler Allen
Not to mention blonde snake tattoo, black British madam remembering stuff, and Dolores herself slowly becoming a cowboy.
Oh, and the tech who's the only one who seems to be concerned with any of it rather than a philosophical babbler.
Jordan Martin
Literally the only part that is specifically male leaning is the fact that there are female prostitutes. When a woman joined a crew, she was treated as an equal, because she was a guest (she also happened to be a lesbian, but they catered to that too.)
It's the wild west. If women don't want to be cowgirls, don't go to Westworld. If men don't want to be cowboys, go to Knotts Berry Farm instead.
Luis Fisher
Black men don't have to fantasize about the wild west because they're already shooting each other and raping women every day.
Kevin Butler
I have NEVER ONCE seen a female writer describe female fantasies and how people should cater to them. They seem only to exclusively complain about male fantasies, and literally EVERYTHING is apparently a male fantasy.
Zachary Cooper
My girlfriend and I both love this show.
It makes exactly *neither* of us wish we lived in the Wild West—not even me, a guy who was (last time I checked) white.
The further into the episodes we go, the more the female characters gain awareness and decide to take no more shit. In fact, other female friends of ours are liking the show more and more.
We all win. The Wild West loses.
Robert Roberts

Get a real job, OP.

the world sucks now

Hate to break it to you bro but she's already banging someone else because you're smothering.
Dylan Lewis
Lesbians are basically men. At least for the sake of this argument they're making.

Next you're going to him it's probably not some "ethnic" with a swinging and massive BBC.
Bentley Ross
>Park full of horny cowboys >Guns available for anyone
I forgot women don't like sex and violence. What a boring place for them. I'm sure every dainty lady there doesn't get gangbanged by a bunch of hombres and then go shoot some outlaws.
Hunter Reyes
>mfw Logan keeps fucking up my immersion of the old west
Carson Walker
But Delores is pretty much the main character
Wtf are these retarded journalists fucking problem?
Benjamin Rodriguez
she's right, westworld would be a sausage fest of "adventurers."
Oliver Gutierrez
Most LARPs are.
Brandon Roberts
She absolutely is. Evan has top billing as well.
Kevin Ortiz
Here scenes are so fucking lame and boring, now the man in black he is interesting.
I'm glad they went with making him a guest instead of a host.
Brayden Ross
>'not a unisex adventure'
Yeah it's not like the show is currently focusing on not just one, but two female characters gaining sentience or anything
Mason Myers
Haven't watched the last two episodes. Have they given him any motive that doesn't seem to be just getting the high score, or solving strange quests?
Nicholas Bell
He wants to find the secret level.
Hunter Collins
Westworld should start focusing on some real issues. Like the government grants that allow horribly disfigured people to go once a month so they can feel human contact.
Justin Gray
Was that actually established?
Ethan Robinson
>Like the government grants >$40,000 for human contact That would be absurdly stupid investment and they shouldn't put it because of how contrived it would be.
Luke Richardson
That's still his primary motivation, but he mentioned that his plan is to never leave the park if he reaches the end of the maze.
They also dropped some hints about his life outside. Another guest recognises him and tries to thank him for his foundation saving the guy's sister's life, but the MiB quickly tells him to shut the fuck up or he'll cut his throat. He's on his fucking vacation.
Jordan Jones
Is westworld actually legitimately good/?
Nolan Kelly
Okay. Not seeing any reason why they would create a secret level that almost nobody would ever reach, or what that could possible be to motivate someone to never leave.
Hunter Collins
ugh white men are the WORST
Brayden Gonzalez
>What is an arcade? You really can't see why a secret hard to find level would be put into a game that charges to play...?
Austin Clark
Well, that's the mystery.
Brayden Bailey
The levels aren't so compelling that nobody would want to do anything but play it again. Also, creating such a level in a theme park such as West World seems more ambitious than a secret level in any arcade.
