Lmfao. To pull an infamous quote from your own handbook, "Kill all men."

Watched zootopia woth my nephew recently

I know its a kids movie and there is some racial allegories there but.

This did not feel like it was about race. This felt very close to what men experience. To what men are frustrated by every time they see the popular rhetoric.

"Oh so there's a them now"

Lmfao, “Its becauae women prefer men to be their victims, not theor beloveds” a male weighing in on women’s preferences, the spelling mistakes really highlighting your urgency to blabber your drivel out is the sweet cherry on top. Was your other hand occupied since you were so excited to share what you felt was a perfect “gotcha”? 

Maybe the reason why there aren’t many female-centered films around the same theme is because seeing a woman on screen is too “woke” and is just part of the “forced diversity agenda”. Perhaps the reason why male characters are always attempting to “avenge” their female lovers is because writers love to disservice women and their female characters by having them raped, cut up, killed, etc - only to use their trauma as a catalyst of their male lead’s journey in the name of propelling their character development. Women’s pain and abuse is used as a trope for the purpose of mobilizing their male characters. You can be someone’s lover but also be a victim.

This is not a compliment to women as their stories and trauma are sidelined and weaponized by their male counterparts. Instead of focusing and observing the actual victim and learning how they attempt to recover and react from their experiences, their stories and personhood are commodified - expendable and thrown aside, and instead, we allocate our attention to how a male character makes their lover’s pain all about themselves. They demand attention and sympathy for what someone else’s trauma did to them.

Women are only ever the victims in these stories. They were the ones murdered, they’re men’s victims who are further disrespected even in death. To insinuate the opposite is just a lack of media literacy. 

But, don’t be too annoyed. You can take your grievances up with the people who actually wrote such stories - who all happen to be men.

And if it weren’t already made clear - if the roles were reversed - this trope wouldn’t be a compliment to men either.

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her
