MRA's with small peni tend to think that

woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.

woah.

It's spelled "whoa," not "woah."

Ugh...either trolling or you're just an idiot.

Maybe they find the Bechedel test stupid because it can be so damn flawed when ti comes to good female characters. Like for the point the OP brought up.

Maybe some people may not like it because there could be a so much BETTER test for individual independent female characters. Personally I'd like THIS test that the secret brought up because it's closer to the kind of thing I want to see.

Not only are you making a sweeping assumption about what the person is saying (that imo seems silly given the point made in the secret. This person is more likely to be agreeing with it) but you're resorting to petty ad hominem attacks the very moment you hear something you don't like.

If you're a troll, that is a really weak blatant attempt. If you're not, grow up.

This is a lovely comment and you should feel good about posting it.

Thanks.

I wish some people online would actually wait and maybe ask questions to start a discussion rather than going "OMG MRA MUST INSULT" right off the bat. try to get the whole picture, you know?

It's just the usual SJW troll. She comes around here every so often and is all "EW MEN SUCK LAWL". Just ignore her.

Re: DA

That ignores the actual point of the Bechdel test though. It's not made to measure whether or not a work contains good female characters. The point of the Bechdel test is to point out just how many works actually fail such a basic requirement.

Like, two female characters having a conversation about something other than men should be such a basic tier thing for a work to achieve when 50% of the population is female... and yet there are so many works that don't manage it!

It's a criticism of the entertainment industry as a whole rather than something that should be leveled against individual works to decide its quality.

Re: DA

Yes! And thank you! That's how I'd always imagined it working. It's constantly used to mesure something it wasn't made to, and then people whine and complain at the results. I mean how can we be surprised that it's not working, when we use it at the opposite way we should?

Re: DA

This. THIS. It's basically saying "Did the characters put their pants on correctly, or are they hopping around with both legs in one pantsleg, or backwards, or upside down?" It's not a measure of genius, it's did they get a very basic aspect of reality (that women exist and interact) horribly, moronically wrong? It's a measure of how badly flawed a movie has to be to fail, and how many still manage to fail.

lol, I don't even have one.

[vethica]

Penes.

[fuchsiascreams]

And clitorides!

[fuchsiascreams]

Can you not.

[(Anonymous)]

can u go back to tumblr and in the meantime can you also stop a) setting back feminism by making them all look like the stereotypical man-hating beasts that everyone thinks they are, and b) contributing to mens' problematic gender norms and body image issues by attributing an opinion you don't like to having a specific body trait?

thank u ^u^
