Now granted it is a very throw away thing hidden in the background of Aliens, but Lambert is a trans woman too.

I mean, the actress for Vasquez was in brownface for that part, I think THAT would be the bigger controversy today.

anocelittle.bsky.social•176 days ago

Oh sure, but not for that particular crowd.

Ripley and Sarah Connor are always who dudes bring up as "the good examples" and if they came out today they would be seething hard over the movies.

Honestly think i'm just gonna start replying to them all with the mp4 i edited earlier with a snowflake melting to the tune of baby mario from yoshi's story crying on loop.

A Chris Gore type could probably squeeze a little juice out of a grift saying “Ripley etc was woke indoctrination the 80’s is when it started”

Oh him. Someone should really do a video essay on the People vs George Lucas documentary.

...wait, what? :-o

I love when these guys go, "We're not against women in media. We like Ripley and Sarah Connor!"

No, you just grew up with those characters so they got grandfathered into what you think is acceptable.

Sarah Connor goes on a minutes-long rant about how men suck and ruin the world ffs.

They would have a heart attack to find out Lambert was trans

Right Whingers would pick apart all movies they call "based" if those same movies were made now. And the movies would STILL rock the box office (Alien: Romulus covered the same humanisation of androids; its budget was $80m and earned over $350m).

Also, Google the Australian flag in Event Horizon! ❤️

They always bring up characters like Ripley who were originally written as male, too. I absolutely love Ripley but it still bugs me that she's like the only "acceptable" type of strong female character. :/

“Political correctness” and DEI panic were the same nazi conspiracy with a different label too.

Let's be honest, if Alien had been released today the backlash would have probably stopped any further films from production.

There was a former “anti-SJW” YouTuber I was listening to who made a video about why he did a 180°, and he had a bit near the end about how the right wing anti-woke crowd would have HATED Aliens and Terminator 2 if they released today.

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•176 days ago

If it's the video I'm thinking of, I need to go back and finish watching it, but yeah

fletcherveyluu.bsky.social•176 days ago

It was DarkMatter2525’s video, and it’s pretty great. He also has one called “Weaponizing Young Men with Fear” that’s an excellent watch.

fletcherveyluu.bsky.social•176 days ago

Like, went through it with a fine toothed comb, listing bad faith nitpicks and gripes about any and everything he could possibly connect to “woke” politics, and basically said “isn’t that an exhausting and miserable way to consume media?”
