  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

I agree with you on all points. But I feel like Disney did it only for the money. Lots of my favorite movies have strong female casts or leads, like Alien, Contact, Arrival, Star Wars, Anime: Ghost in the Shell, Nausicaa, Mononoke and more. But I felt those movies were honest.

I don't have anything against a primarily female cast, or gemder-swapped Dar-Benn at all. I don't care about that. I just felt the movie was fake in spirit.

I'm sorry if I have offended you by misusing the word "woke" which I now know it's meaning, and secondly if I have expressed myself in a demeaning manner against a movie you enjoyed. My first mistake was out of ignorance, the latter mistake is of bad etiquette, and I apologize for that. I hope this post can convey my opinion in a more respectful manner, beyond our opposing point or views or not, i really value healthy discussion and the exchange of point of views as I enjoy learning, and even more so with well educated people like you, well versed in a topic (in this case, comic-books).

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post (that I now understand looked like a right wing extremist's opinion 🤣) and sharing your point of view with me.
