That’s the other thing. Take a beloved franchise, with expectations through the roof. Hire the laziest writers you can find, making sure none of them understand what people connected with in the source material. Market it as “look, the movie you loved, but with vaginas now!”

I’m convinced ghostbusters 2016 was created solely to give ammo to chuds.

Yes it was. That wasn’t the primary reason to do it, just a little bonus. But it was and is.

It might be connected to a cultural shift.

If that’s related, it’s because the writers decided to address the cultural shift by making their jokes increasingly hokey and forced. The shift is there in the content.This isn’t just a change in audience perception.

it’s punching down on the feminist movie remakes.

Is that feminist? Giving women a recycled story with a history and a ton of baggage instead of a universe thats really theirs? You’re setting them up to never be their own thing, always compared to the original.

Have you considered a career as a baby?

If AI scanning code for vulns is the problem, why don’t the developers have AI scan their code for vulns before release?

I didn’t realize the NAACP got involved in climate issues but according to this article they have a whole department focused on them.

Wouldn’t it be funny if it’s religion that saves us from Christian nationalists

Ask the outraged masses, commenting on opinion pieces here or on reddit as if they’re actual policy. Truth isn’t the point, anger is, and opinions generate a lot more than fact does.

I see this constantly on the internet. “Some backwater Podunk state puts the 10 commandments in classrooms” becomes “The US puts the 10 commandments in classrooms”. It’s like people don’t understand how this country is architected.

Flush with cash from the military industrial complex, repurposing factories built for the war, and with its largest economic rivals lying in ruin. Yes.

People have never hesitated to say Pelosi, Klobuchar, or Slotkin, for example.

That’s a really good point

Did you ever wish mass effect had a weaker story and Bethesda loot mechanics?

Since the first round of updates it’s less buggy than fallout 4 at least

It smells a little like sexism, like theyre taken more casually than male candidates. But your point about Hillary Clinton is a good one. I don’t know the answer tbh.

The only man I can think of who falls under this phenomenon is Bernie Sanders. In his case it seems like a conscious decision on the part of his campaign.

I know. I’m not blaming you or criticizing you. I’m not even sure this phenomenon is problematic, and if it is you’re just following everyone else’s lead. I do think it’s worth thinking about, though.

Hillary and Kamala

You mentioned 5 candidates in your post. Two of them are women, and they’re the two that you called by their first names. It’s not just you, I see that a lot. I can’t help but think that also has something to do with it.

Assigning a gender identity to a browser icon will surely change society.

Reminds me on sesame streets response to the “are Bert and Ernie gay” thing.

“They’re not gay. They’re not straight. They’re puppets.”
