Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I'm just saying if that was the original intention it would have been a lot more impactful with a male lead for the audience to attach a common fear with as they struggle to avoid the proverbial rape situation and completely avoid the issue brought up in the sequels. Not to take anything away from the cultural phenomenon that the original Alien was for having a strong female lead.
