Are you already tired of the "hypercompetent strong female character" trope that is being pushed to hell and above these days?
Are you already tired of the "hypercompetent strong female character" trope that is being pushed to hell and above...
Don't worry, the counterreaction will involve all women being stripped naked and chained for our amusement/gratification. I intend to make sure of it.
You just made multiple watchlists user
my mom is a strong woman who worked a job to put herself through medical school while she was pregnant with my brother, now she is a respected professional in her field. She makes me proud even now
but in Hollywood movies "strong woman" just means "man with vagina & lots of quips"
Who cares. Fuck The Acronym Watchlist owners.
A little mainly because there is nothing in fiction that can replace a good damsel in distress.
It's not a bad trope when done right. Combining it with cassandra truth makes for damn good movies (terminator 2/ alien). Im just tired of get hit over the head with 2 dimensional characters.
It's a kids movie bro, calm down. Little girls watch this movie, let them have a strong female character.
there are a lot of hypercompetent strong male characters
Name 20. Most of them tend to have other flaws that make them relateable.
The issue is not that it exists. The issue is that they market it as something special and conflate it with reality.
"pay and watch our fictional woman be amazing because all women are amazing you stupid sheep"
Hollywood pretends to be a moral compass and despite Weinstein a vocal feminist being outed as someone who exploited that they successfully carry on.
no, i just don´t watch hollywood shit and i`m totally fine.
See this
I bet your mom was so strong that she let herself get pregnant twice with some deadbeat and then dump her kids in daycare while she pursued some self serving professional vision she had for herself. Congrats on having a “strong” mom though.
Because that's realistic. Women are incompetent by nature.
Oh wow, a single mother nurse. What a unique circumstance.
This guy gets it
It’s true. They just impose a female into a masculine role, and it feels artificial. GOT did a *decent* job with Daenerys. She can’t fight for shit, but she can get power in other ways, still flawed and misguided, and so on.
Three biggest problems with this movie:
3. Relative lack of Buzz, and Buzz-Woody interaction. That first conversation they had in the RV was the best part of the movie.
2. The ending didn't make sense. No matter how much they tried to build up Woody's world-weariness in this movie, it's impossible to make it eclipse the constant love and loyalty he's had for his kid over the course of the entire series.
1. Lack of secondary/mainstay characters. When I watch Toy Story, I want to see Woody and Buzz go on a fucking adventure and learn lessons with Slinky Dog, Rex, Hamm, Potato Head, and Jessie. Why the fuck would they ever neglect those characters in favor of some stupid new characters? All of the first three movies spent half their runtime focusing on the rest of the toys trying to save Woody/Buzz. Fucking retarded that they would spend so little time with them in this movie.

For everyone concerned with lack of buzz:
Tim Allen is a noted republican. Simple as that. Hollywood/Disney knows this and wanted to minimize his presence in this film. Why do you think Key and Peele got more screen time than buzz? Only safe-thinkers allowed for these projects from now on.
>single mom
>strong
She let a deadbeat get her pregnant twice. Thats called stupidity user.
Yes but thankfully women will be the reason they lose their rights. Through Islam or through the fourth reich. It is inevitable. I miss when Tumblr scum was relegated to a little corner of the internet, now they pollute all media.
This. Your mom is very unique.
you have to be 18 years or older to post here
Yes.
I don't mind a "strong" female character, but I do mind that the writers think politics and having the character saying "I'm a strong independent woman that don't need no man" is a good replacement for actual characterization and story arcs.
>Divorced
Doesn’t sound so strong if she couldn’t make the sacrifices for a relationship.

Ignore the roasties. This is a valid point. Hollywood has gotten the memo that it needs to have lead characters that are female. What it has not figured out yet is how to write female characters.
Bridesmaids was a step in the right direction. It has a female lead character who is interesting and likeable because she has believable flaws: she is being used in a dead-end relationship with a married man, she gets very jealous of another bridesmaid who is muscling in on maid of honor territory, and her lack of class makes her stick out like a sore thumb when trying to do anything classy.
Love this guy. Is Trebek also right leaning?
Who is this in response to?
I honestly don't get it. What do woman have to do to make men like you happy, it seems anything they try to do a man will always find a negative in it. Being a girl must fucking suck, no wonder they use there pussy to manipulate/ruin men, we fucking deserve it.
Rick and Morty fans or critics I think
>Hollywood has gotten the memo that it needs to have lead characters that are female
IT LITERALLY DOESNT THOUGH
SEGREGATE THEM BACK TO ROMCOMS
STOP SHOVING THEM INTO MALE PROPERTIES TO INEVITABLY SHIT EVERYTHING UP WITH THEIR MARYSUE YASQUEEN FAGGOTRY
I dont see that as right leaning. Its just honesty. Hes 100% correct.
Seriously, why is this so common?
>Bridesmaids was a step in the right direction.
the flick where all the characters were flandernized but two of them? thats the right direction?
Lol. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Most men like strong women, MRAs included. Strong means strong willed, with tangible goals and the motivation to try to achieve them. But those goals should not be at the expense of men, or at the expense of family. If a woman has been divorced, our culture and general experience tells us that it was probably the woman's fault/decision, and that's a wholly selfish thing to do once you've made the commitment to marry a man. Actually hold on, are you baiting right now?
Strong female characters are fine as long as the writers don't go out of their way to suddenly make the male characters retarded when they were competent before the female character shows up.
I agree, though I've read somewhere he's actually right leaning though (which I respect).
It's a well paying job that perfectly matches a woman's natural skill-set as the more empathetic and nurturing of the species
It's not as hard to get qualified for as a doctor and there's a ton of demand in the medical industry right now.
>What do woman have to do to make men like you happy
For them to be actual actual women with some femininity.
This but unironically.
>Strong means strong willed, with tangible goals and the motivation to try to achieve them.
So a man in a womans body? Is that why trannies/trap have gotten popular over the years
Nobody wants to see 50 romcoms a year again. Nobody.
>trannies/traps having strong wills, and motivation
As some one who browses v and vg that isn't true at all
UM SWEETY REALITY IS RACIST AND SEXIST, THE TRUTH IS PROBLEMATIC (UGH)
NOW LIVE IN OUR DELUSIONAL LEFTOID SJW BUBBLE WHERE EVERYONE GETS A PARTICIPATION MEDAL AND NOBODY IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE
ITS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS AND UNETHICAL TO INDOCTRINATE THE POOR FE*MOIDS LIKE THIS
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SHE REALLY BELIEVES SHES EQUAL TO A MAN AND GETS RAPED AND MURDERED FOR BEING TOO UPPITY, MAYBE BY THE NON NU-MALES LIKE THE N*GROES OR MUS*LIMS
THAT BLOODS ON YOUR HANDS FEMINISTS :^)
In the 80s and 90s there was a ton of movies where they'd have a woman be strong and badass in her intro scene only to be useless and fluttering later on in the film. (Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves for example.) Right now we're seeing an overreaction the other way where women can't show any weakness or setback at all in a movie.
You don't have to watch them, the women will.
Are you really watching a movie about toys and wondering why they would write a movie that would allow them to sell more toys?
But they had admirable restraint about focusing on the old characters in 2 and 3, even if they were including some new ones. That restraint was totally gone this time.
>t. roast
this. I love strong WOMAN. but we nowadays female characters have no hint of feminity to them.
also they always have to be giant cunts towards the male characters these days with at least one scene in every movie where the male character is a emasculated loser who either needs to be saved by the woman or who easily gets outsmarted/bested by the woman
the still get depicted with flaws and mess up
female characters are always perfect and the best 24/7 and never fail
WHY ARE THEY HARDLY ANY NEW RULE34 OF BOPEEP?
>these days
You mean for the last 20+ years already? Yeah I've been sick of it since I was 6.
act and look feminine + generally be nice and supportive
Was too glaring in this. God forbid a woman may have flaws.
It's just a phase.
I liked Nora in Flash season 5 as a NON-Mary Sue.

Nope, just wish it was done better and executed upon with more care. They are obviously half assing it and their hearts are probably not in it because they are men working on it. Common sense.
Yeah, but mostly because they don't do anything interesting with the trope anymore. Now Hollywood just throws it around as if being a strong woman is the only kind of thing you have to write into the character to make it work.
Who are you quoting?
kek. Basedboi btfo
>men being turned into women is encouraged and applauded
>women dressing and acting like men is being encouraged and applauded
Where did everything go wrong
It's kind of annoying because it seems like this trope when it's used now the hyper competent strong female character doesn't fail or learn or grow as a character. Which makes for a boring character and a boring plot.
On the flipside usually when a male character is super good at stuff he at least has to earn it somehow? Like through training or maybe he loses fights or gets hurt or something.
It's hard to get attached to a character like Rey or Captain Marvel or whatever because you never feel like they are in any danger of losing.
We're all on one list or another trust me
Destroyed
>Where did everything go wrong
WW2 and people not listening to what the nazis said about the jews which wasnt even anything new when you look at the jews history in europe. Theyve been holocausted before and driven out of nearly every nation for literally the exact same reasons over and over again

At least we don’t have to run into them IRL, because they are all stuck in their moms basements plotting suicide.
>THEIR ALL MISERABLE IN CAREERS PRETENDING TO BE MEN WEARING THEIR PANTSUITS
The irony is most people are miserable in their careers, men and women. But women opted in after being fed endless propaganda on how "empowering" dealing with piles of corporate bullshit is because it was sold as if they'd all be world changing superstars as opposed to pointless paper pushers. 99.99% of people will labor in obscurity accomplishing nothing of consequence and being one of them is somehow suppose to be preferential to having a family and raising children? It's absolutely absurd.
There's a few dickheads that post around here that have some kind of weird hatred for single mothers. I think it's based off some bullshit /pol/ statistics they like throwing around.
Because being a wage slave, to a man as well is good somehow lol retard.
Official statistics are not bullshit.
You wanna try that again sans the ESL grammar.
>WAAAAH WAAAAH I DEMAND MORE DAMSELS IN DISTRESS!
Misogynist.
Being a wage slave sucks, now imagine being a wage slave to another wage slave. It is like being you and having to rely on mommys allowance to survive...
It's a wrongheaded approach to feminism or at least being sympathetic to women and femininity, to think that the only way for them to feel empowered is to superficially mimic masculine qualities and tropes, like action heroes, etc. I mean, I think the action hero trope is even a simplistic image for men, although I can see how it's a distillation of certain qualities and histories we're saddled with.
I personally like smart, capable women; that doesn't mean I need to see them beat people to a pulp for me to respect them, but I'm not going to get bothered or angry about this 'ass-kicking female' trope. It's women's problem, really. Probably just kind of a waste of time and ultimately uninteresting to most young girls who in all honesty usually want to play princess or whatever.
based, I'll be voting for you again
Yes.
Everyone hates Mary-Sue characters. It's why superman movies never sell well.
Characters need flaws and they need development through the story. They need to be relatable.
No I'm tired of all the pissbabies from r/incels coming here to whine about it every god damned day.
>Bo turns from doting qt to strong independent woman.
>old strong independent woman character is demoted to one line
>Being a wage slave sucks
Yeah I said as much.
>now imagine being a wage slave to another wage slave
Because that's a normal view of a healthy relationship. Everyone relies on thousands of other people every single day to continue living their comfortable lives. Being dependent on other people simply isn't avoidable. I can't imagine a scenario where being at the whim of an comparatively impersonal boss, manager or corporate personnel department is preferable to being dependent on someone you have the deepest possible personal relationship with for your immediate needs.
the toy story episode of the unspooled podcast was literally an hour long ad for toy story 4 and that pissed me off

You are dependent without an out, unlike you the woman in this case isn’t gonna turn 18 one day and get a life. She is hostage to his whims for all time and even her pension is fucked if the dumb bastard dies. There is zero upside to being a wage slave and even less so when you are a dependent on one. If you were not a thick retarded incel kid you would understand that. Life wasn’t like the commercials in the 50’s reality was something else and you should be thankful for it because otherwise your mother couldn't give you a computer for you to shitpost with.
but user, your leaders have decided that you hate abortion and want all the black and latino babies to be born so your boss can have lots of cheap labor instead of paying you a living wage :^)
Cause its the best place to be if you hope to marry a doctor.
>She is hostage to his whims for all time and even her pension is fucked if the dumb bastard dies.
I'm not going to keep going with this because you have a severely warped view of what a normal relationship looks like, which is unfortunate but regrettably not uncommon these days.
were you married in the '50s, user?
My view is warped? Lol dude while there are healthy and great relationships out there, fact is, the majority of them sucks. You are obviously an ignorant retard and if you are unlucky to not find your “soul mate” you shouldn’t be stuck for life with a person you hate or be homeless. Just admit you hate the fact that a woman has the power to leave you or probably, not even date you to begin with. Incels...
Well in real life women are weak both mentally and physically. So to compensate for this the people who currently control the content of virtually all media make them stronger and smarter than men in media so they can feel better about it.
>the majority of them sucks
I guess everyone I know that's married is just really good at hiding the drunken wife beating then. Since it's so rampant that's the only explanation I can come up with.
Not as good as the lesbian sex scene where the female guard ends up losing her mind because it was so great.
It's a mommy sim game that keeps their actual children in a string of daycares and raised on drive thru
>wife beating
Lol a marriage can be bad for other reasons than physical abuse by one party... never mind, obviously you won’t stop being retarded over the next 5 minutes so just fuck off and be a pathetic sad incel by your lonesome.
Oh pat you so sassy
>Are you already tired of the "hypercompetent strong female character" trope
I love it because it destroys the egos of normal women. Nothing could be more destructive to a feminist's fragile ego than a strong female stereotype. They can't stop comparing themselves to other women so when they see these movie women who are impossibly good at everything it makes them realize that their own lives are barely being held together.
Alphabet agency glowniggers
Yep, they're all awful just like in Lifetime original movies. Every single marriage is either abusive, rife with infidelity, or totally loveless. It's amazing that such a fundamentally flawed institution has survived for thousands of years.
