I always thought the Bechdel Test was a kind of stupid and arbitrary standard to begin with because like... if a woman talks to another woman about her sister, it's fine, but if it's about her brother, it's not?

It's meant to be a stupid, arbitrary, basic standard. That's the whole point. It's not to say a woman talking to another woman about her brother rather than her sister is wrong, it's to show how very few women get speaking parts at all, and how rarely they get to have plots that aren't all about men.

How many movies can you think of that have no "men talking to men about something other than women"? That should be the standard for all movies - sometimes you get something set in a single-sex environment for a reason, but the vast majority should include all kinds of people.

Like someone else said, it's a bare minimum kind of thing. There's no issue with two women talking about someone's brother. (Unless it's Bruno.) You only fail the Bechdel Test if you have an entire book/movie/series/whatever where no woman ever talks to another woman about anything that's not men, and the whole point is that so many books and shows abjectly fail the Bechdel Test despite what a stupidly low bar that is.
