Tory MP Links Young Men Turning To Crime With Female Leads In TV / Film

1. Don't shift the goalpost. We are talking about film and media.

1.5-:You believe that having female leads in films and TV shows is an attack on white men, which it isn't.
There are, and will continue to be, many positive male role models in TV shows and films. Women having the audacity to feature in films as the lead character is not an attack on you or anyone else.

2. Two of the most recent Marvel films / TV shows feature male leads and depict them as very positive male role models. They have a lot of the characteristics that pretty much anyone would want: honest, modesty, ambition, etc. They also touch on the topic of grief in a very healthy way. Honestly the whole thing was extremely refreshing.

Lmao @ Mary Sues being a "left wing film trope". Mary Sues are just bad writing, similar to deus ex machinas. You'll find examples of them spanning decades. Hell, the word "Mary Sue" actually originates from the 1970s, well before the 'woke brigade', 'SJWs', etc.

Tend to agree with TC's take but yes, many great civilisations have suffered defeat at the hands of underestimating their enemy. We just have to hope that from this defeat a Scipio will be produced.

I haven't watched that much stuff if his (see part 1) but this is largely the impression I get from what I've seen if him and his fans.

Firstly he's boring as sin and for me personally largely unwatchable.

Secondly I don't think he has anything interesting or profound to say. You have to be a deranged lefty to find him remotely controversial or offensive. Shock! Women with penises aren't women?

Thirdly- from some of what I've seen of him he appears to be a bit of a kook grifter. I think he's an establishment gatekeeper designed to channel right wing resentment into establishment approved ideas. "The best way for me to challenge the establishment is by being a radical individual!'

Fourthly- he's apologetic towards the left, in my view he caters to them. These people seem to think that 20 years ago everything was just great and it's just gotten a bit too radical recently.

Fifthly- he pretends to be this big free speech advocate. But say anything actually controversial and he will shut you down as quick as any lefty.

This is a common trope with mainstream right wing people like Shapiro who will bemoan left wing censorship but heaven forfend you say anything critical about Israel.

Interesting. Why do you think he has/ had such a big appeal amongst sections of the right? I do agree that nothing he said in particular seemed that interesting or radical.

Always had a bit of a soft spot bizarrely for Peter Hitchens. Even though I disagree him profoundly on most things.

The above is where I draw my distinction between the likes of ST. Despite agreeing with most of Trump believed, I prefer a degree of class to politics and have rarely supported the revolutionary spirit that the likes of ST have.

1- Lmao I'm not shifting the goal posts. All my posts have said it is a PART of a wider attack.

1.5- no I don't that is simply not true. Case in point - Ripley from the Alien franchise and Sarah Connor from the first 2 Terminator films. Absolutely no problem with those two characters or view them as an attack on white masculinity because they aren't.

2: what marvel films are these ?

Sure but I was referring to a specific type of Mary Sue, which is elevated due to deliberately undermining established make characters. perhaps the best example of this is star wars the last Jedi and Rey meeting Luke Skywalker.

And yes I agree it is bad writing, but this often works hand in glove with progressive politics

Whilst some of his comments hace been taken slightly out of context he really did make a complete ass out of himself here 😂 pity as he does, in a manner of speaking, raise a good point vis a vis male role models in general… completely undermined by his rambling sexist claptrap but nevertheless
