And you just know those igno's just listened uncritically to Bing Crosby sing "happy holidays" on their way to the mall. Mf boomers cant even look up the fact the saying's been around as long as they have, and it means "merry christmas and happy new year"

The culture war enemy is a shifting target. They only accept Ripley and Vasquez in Aliens because that movie was around during the member-berries era where they felt safe.

If Aliens came out today there'd be soooooo much pronouns and not just because of the women in it but because the men are shown as weak and vulnerable at times and it suggests that a mega corporation is evil and fucked up.

Yeah and if you tell them that they'll just go "well no Ripley was well written! We're fine with well written women!"

And its so blatantly obvious that no, the difference isnt the writing, its that reactionary youtube grifters werent around in 1986 to tell them what to be mad at. I've literally seen them call Chell from Portal "well written" in this way, for fuck's sake she doesnt fucking speak. If the reactionairy grift Network had been around when Portal came out they'd hate Chell too. An unsexualized woman protagonist in a game? WOKE!

In my opinion Aloy was very well written by contemporary game standards but that didn't stop a bunch of freeze-gamer from giving her clumsy awooga makeovers that make zero sense for the character and the environment she's in.

I've seen worse. I've seen freeze-gamer chuds say Chell was well written because she, quote, shuts the fuck up." grillman

They're the reason "you can't release Blazing Saddles today."

Chell is also, iirc, ambiguously brown.

Someone would definitely do a six hour video on why hicks is soy and how he promotes the woke agenda to emasculate men.
