>“It’s something that they are not used to and they don’t like that,” she said. “Anything that deviates from the norm is difficult to accept. I think if you’ve been used to watching characters that look like, sound like, think like you and then you see someone up on the screen and you go, ‘Well, that’s a girl, she doesn’t look like me. I want it to look like me so that I can project myself onto the character.'”

So women need to be represented on screen but men need to just get used to projecting themselves on female characters? This bitch is so fucking dumb. I have never once in my life given a shit about the gender of a character in a movie. If I relate with them it's because they're relatable and well-written, not because we're both tri-gendered pyrofoxes.

Fuck man, on X-Men alone I'm pretty certain you've got more important female heroes than male ones. Mainstream wise you've got what, Wolverine and maybe Cyclops for males? Meanwhile for female characters you've got Storm, Rogue, Jean, Kitty, Mystique thanks to the new movies, and I'd argue most of those are more mainstream than just about any other X-Men character that isn't Wolverine
Ayden Myers
I don't even know what she's talking about. Films with female protagonists have become million- or even billion-Dollar mainstream successes. What fucking "barrier" is she talking about? Us it only because boys have a hard time IDENTIFYING with movie heroines? She really should've taken courses in psychology instead of studying whatever subject she studied at Brown.

I feel like this about black superheroes. When I was a kid, I never had any problem relating to white superheroes or white crimefighters on television. So all these grown men talking about how they can't possibly relate to a character if he's slightly darker than they are seems bizarre.
It's either their imagination or empathy that is broken, maybe both.

You passive aggressively slandered white men on the basis of generalizations fueled by what I assume to be insecurity driven racism. Blacks today will not shut the fuck up about having their own representation in media, yet if whites dare even think about doing the same, we are pathetic, hateful, childish, evil, etc etc etc
No, it's you who has the growing up to do buddy. We are white, and we want to stay that way. You need to learn to deal with that.

Don't forget beautiful. She's a famous millionaire in the first place primarily because she's beautiful, and little else. Lookism! We are the all victims of lookism!!! Murder your parents and piss on their graves right now for their role in the lookist oppression!!!
This bitch is triggered far more than you or I could ever dream of being. Pointing out that she's a useless airbag that never shuts up about bullshit, made up, perceived inequalities, isn't being triggered. It's being bored and disappointed in how weirdo feminists have such warped views of the world that they want to attack 10year old boys for not wanting to be cat woman. Now go to bed. Your mother and I will be up shortly to tuck you in.

Because she said it therefore it must be true, like those Resident Evil/Underworld series? forget about that, the protagonist (unlike the man counterpart who has to be handsome and be fit) has to be ugly or average like me, they aren't allowed to be sexy even if they don't fit the rol, like Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman.
I have to swallow everything that Hollywood and filmmakers puts in front of my face especially female """"""heroes""""""", is my dutty as a men to watch the movies Emman wants me to watch, affirmative action in every choose I make.

Chase Brown
>You passive aggressively slandered white men on the basis of generalizations fueled by what I assume to be insecurity driven racism.
No, I was talking about a specific group of people, not all white men, or even a majority. I was talking about people who complain about black characters in media because they apparently can't relate to them as fellow human beings.
You really need to dial back the victimhood complex and crocodile tears my man.
>Blacks today will not shut the fuck up about having their own representation in media, yet if whites dare even think about doing the same, we are pathetic, hateful, childish, evil, etc etc etc
White representation in media isn't being threatened. The vast majority of protagonists in film and television are white. You're living in a fantasy world.
