    Think about taxing the rich? THAT’S SOCIALISM

    Ponder if an apartheid state is doing a genocide? ANTISEMITISM

    Don’t like the new Marvel movie? SEXIST! RACIST!

    Freedom of speech died long ago and now there is no flow of ideas, even incrementally. We’re in big trouble

          Well, yeah. Both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel were met with extreme vitriol from people who would rather not see a woman in their super hero universe. Should we expect those people to have gone through a maturation process in the last 4 years?

      Not liking the new Marvel movie is fine. Making it about race or sex is what makes you a racist for not liking the new Marvel movie. This thread apparently thinks those people don’t exist lol

        Eh, while it’s not as common as other political psychosis, I have directly been told, “you just don’t like strong women.” to my face, for saying I didn’t like how they utterly failed to develop Rey as a character in the new Star Wars trilogy and the movies suck over all.

        Apparently wanting good, cohesive writing where main characters actually have lessons to learn and growth to do makes me a sexist to them, all because I can point to Luke, a guy, failing a bunch?

        Some people really DO need to “touch grass”.
