I really hope CM Punk succeeds.

CM Punk legit doing a Brock Lesnar would be hilarous as well and piss HHH and Vince even more so it's what I hope for most as well.

That might have been what it originally was but it having black and female leads was a pretty big deal to douche bags for real

Saying it was a thing because RoK complained about it like saying a tweet with a single favorite means something. 20 people cared, so what?

It was a 4chan troll along with "Star Wars is racist/sexist because Finn is black and stormtroopers are Nazis, and that's the white man sin" or "Jar Jar binks"

I've also seen a lot of people furious about the lead being a female, with accusations that she's a Mary Sue because she's somehow competent at surviving after a lifetime spent fending for herself in a desert.

Max Landis, is a lot of things, one of them apparently a sexist.

Like I've seen tons of racist and sexist pushback over Ibris possibly being the next Bond or whenever a woman/poc is recast in a previous male role, but the days of people being outraged purely by black people getting movies is a thing of the past.
