If I've learned anything about this kinda stuff. It's to stay far away and don't get involved. And let's be honest with the way things are going right now there will be male version feminist in the future there might be some now but we men are to lazy and mature to even argue
I think they're pushing things too far, but I get where they're coming from. Every goddamn "gritty" TV show thinks the easy shorthand for "bad guy" is "violence against women," and it's pretty tough out there for an actual female violence survivor trying to escape that imagery, especially when there's so much media out there telling her that all she can be is beat up - and just as tough for a male violence survivor, because the same media portrayal's telling him that if he didn't fight back/"take it like a man" then he has no masculinity.
In context, the situation makes sense - you kind of have to keep an eye or hand on Mystique, or you're very shortly not going to know who or where Mystique is. But the big picture is that not everybody going into this is going to have a clue what's going on, and out-of-context - yeah, iiiiit kinda looks like we're just doing the "quick and easy bad guy - beat up a helpless girl!" routine.
Unfortunately, not everybody had a huge crush on Kurt as a kid like I did, so not everbody knows that.

Yes! The poster doesn't offend me as such, I like the x men movies but I am so damn sick of violence against women being used in this way in every fucking thing. It's just lazy. Why does he have to be strangling her? I'd have been more comfortable with it if he was just punching her in the face.
Yours.
Theirs.
Anyone's.
Everyone is selfish, and nobody gives 2 hamster queefs about anyone else.
And if they seem like they do, it's just because they want to bone.
There is it. The meaning of life.
You're welcome.
Yea its a shame this stupidity it happening. Raven was a badass rallying point and then jean kicked his ass and this shit is what gets attention? Feminazis taking one moment and ruining the amazingly strong roles women had in the movie.
I think the poster was a little disturbing regardless of gender or quality of the movie. It's out of context and rather violent. In the movie it's fine, but when you put a violent image on a billboard, you take away a parent's ability to choose whether or not their 3 year old is ready to see such images.
Thats an argument i can agree with for having it removed. However, that is NOT the argument that was used. The argument that WAS used was stupid as hell and far more detrimental to womens empowerment than the advertisement could ever have been.
Instead of raven being the hero of mutants and a role model for girls being strong, confident, and defenders whats right, they instead argued she was a weak little "victim" that cant even defend herself, let alone anyone else, and being a victim shouldnt be shown.
The fact that people are actually getting booty-hurt over a COMIC BOOK MOVIE is amusing to me.
Now, i do not think its okay for a grown man to hurt a woman, But I also DO NOT think its okay for a woman to hurt a man. ..unless its self defense on both ends..anyway my point is!!!!
As long as its not harming you in real life and since its just a movie and people are ACTING in it.
It shouldnt really matter-
I was annoyed by this post the first time because it's an odd thing to argue about, and now the second time around I'm less irritated because I like that deadpool is included.
Why? Bc it's just movie and acting!!!
It's not real!
