nerds(even lefty ones like me and my friends) arnt seeing it for some rainbow brigade progressive badge bullshit, we are seeing it so we can watch darth vader slaughter a bunch of fuckers including hopefully some main character. no one in this movie will be around for the sequels and yeah no poo poo it will be the same, but the WOKEoff brigade is looking for "deep" poo poo and i am sure they will get "triggered" by something, probably because its too violent or some poo poo.

Did you just spoiler-tag a series of 20+-year-old movies?

One less woman in politics: Wonder Woman loses job as UN ambassador

quote:

Wonder Woman’s tenure as a United Nations honorary ambassador will come to an abrupt end on Friday, less than two months after the appointment of the comic book character sparked outcries of protest.

Plans had called for the use of Wonder Woman in an empowerment campaign for women and girls into 2017, according to the comic book’s publisher, but the character’s role is ending this week, a UN spokesman said on Monday.

Nearly 45,000 people signed an online petition asking the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, to reconsider.

“Although the original creators may have intended Wonder Woman to represent a strong and independent ‘warrior’ woman with a feminist message, the reality is that the character’s current iteration is that of a large breasted, white woman of impossible proportions, scantily clad in a shimmery, thigh-baring body suit,” the petition read.

The UN did not provide further details as to why the Wonder Woman campaign was ending this week, but spokesman Jeffrey Brez said campaigns using fictional characters often lasted no longer than a few months.

The designation of Angry Birds, a collection of animated characters that originated in an online video game, as UN climate change envoys in March lasted a single day, he said.

i was spoiler taging the new one but yeah, it was dumb.



lol. these people are their own worst enemies. so basicaly a fictional character the WOKE-offs wanted became an ambassador, but then the sex negative WOKES wanted it canceled. lol but none of them fight sexism/bigotry going on in other countries because that would go against their paternalistic ideas.

like i understand why you protests the murders tamir rice and Walter Scott and others who were clearly either straight up executed or shot because the cop was a retard.

but why defend that gently caress face terrorist or assholes like jamar clark who was attacking his GF while the ambulance attendants were trying to help her after he beat the gently caress out of her on the street. i am not saying killing them was right, but when you are attacking a paramedic so you can punch your girlfriend more. what the gently caress do you expect.

Pretty much, you can certainly make a point that there are more non-violent options that should be made the default rather than shooting, but maybe that point shouldn't be made by comparing him to guys who were killed by cops for literally just being black dudes existing.

I'm sure these scholars have an airtight argument for why there can never be a justifiable use of force against black bodies. I wouldn't worry about it.

Actually it was probably Warner Brothers who made her an ambassador to promote the upcoming Wonder Woman movie. The whole thing is one big marketing exercise, just like most internet politics bullshit these days

Apparently they never said neo-nazi, that was edited in later

So basically "alt-right type" which doesn't mean anything because nobody even kniws what an alt right looks like other than apparently a cartoon frog
