    Eh, while it’s not as common as other political psychosis, I have directly been told, “you just don’t like strong women.” to my face, for saying I didn’t like how they utterly failed to develop Rey as a character in the new Star Wars trilogy and the movies suck over all.

    Apparently wanting good, cohesive writing where main characters actually have lessons to learn and growth to do makes me a sexist to them, all because I can point to Luke, a guy, failing a bunch?

    Some people really DO need to “touch grass”.

        In my case, this was literally in person to my face from a coworker with little media analysis skill. I never even made unclear statements beyond, “I don’t like Rey”, with further explanation about how her character development is highly lacking. Not the actress or anything like that, even.

        Don’t be the equivalently stupid person on the other side of the coin, constantly refusing to admit that those internet weirdos are actual people in the real world somewhere.

      I have directly been told lots of nutty things. Just yesterday someone told me that my nickname in a video game was affecting my lag. That doesn’t make any sense.

      Why does this bother you unless you actually have an issue with women? The fact that you’re complaining about it indicates that it is meaningful to you.

        Being misunderstood, even by dumbasses, is meaningful to me.

        I value competent communication, and voluntarily misconstruing someone is peak failure to listen.
