Wymin Are Strong!
This is clearly the message in the
CW Arrowverse, where they hammer it home in basically every episode. They make the men moronic, and the women are strong and in charge. Got it, you don’t need to spend an entire season on the same theme over and fucking over. A man wouldn't need Mjolnir to drive that point home. We get it, White Canary is a League of Assassins trained badass, that apparently can be thrown around like a ragdoll by a huge 300lbs man and still get up to kick his ass. Thea Queen can stop a strong swing of a sword one handed and kill illusory Death Stroke that was kicking the ass of Green Arrow and Spartan. Time travel, super speed, and inter-dimensional travel seem far more plausible.
In the
end, it’s about making good stories. The
CW has to make everything racially diverse with the requisite number of token
gay people. They made Obsidian gay in one episode of Legends of Tomorrow because... Don't know, there really was no point at all, other than getting SJW points. Why not just make good characters instead and not worry about
gender or racial politics? Because the left can’t leave shit alone! They can make Captain Cold, played by
Wentworth Miller, more interesting than the gimmick character he is in the comic
books, but at the same time make Jonah Hex less interesting because they need
to make a feminist point. That’s the problem with feminism – it can only empower
women by degrading men. I guess that means men are inherently superior.
Right when I was finishing up getting enraged at the idiocy of the last few episodes of the CW shows, I see again that the idiot writers of Rogue One are back on Twatter with their safety pins and comparing the election of Trump to the Empire. The Empire is an all-white organization, like the staff at Salon.com, and the Rebel Alliance is a multi-racial organization led by a woman. Well, great leadership there toots. How many Bothans had to die to show the evil Empire that wimyn are strong? I’m sure Alderaan was proud they had a strong wumin in charge of taking out the Death Star when it was targeted for destruction. You can blow up the planet, but not that moral high ground! And in the end, it was a sister-kissing hick from a backwater planet with minimal training and waving his glowing rod around that took out the Death Star. But let's evaluate their work based off of their values. Queen Amidala, Princess Leia, Mon Mothma, Jyn Erso and Rey are all cis-het white women, so obviously the Rebel Alliance isn’t progressive enough to be led by a trans-person of color. Captain Phasma got shiny new armor and everyone commented on her looks. The writers made her fucking worthless and had her dominated by an old white dude and a young black man. Obviously it's because of internalized misogyny and racism.
