1) And in this case there's a good reason for not liking it - becuase it's condescending. Countering it is as simple as saying "nu-uh", as it is baseless.

2) Your definition of progressive is not mine and not most people's.

3) And you use words like "you can't turn X into Y" etc. Obviously you can and it will generate a lot of publicity.

4) Not that anyone needs a reason, even less so one that you subjectively deem "legitimate", but "it's interesting" is reason enough.

5) And you are pointing it out using your own unbased assumptions and perhaps even some projection.

And finally, it is up to us to decide whether or not what you're doing is "attacking the movie". The only thing you have control over is how clearly you state your opinion.

1. So you just want to be "that guy". Enjoy.

 

2. Progressive from the time the original movies came out? Um, yes, yes it is. If it's something and old white Christian will disagree with, it's got a tinge progressive in it. 

 

3. Where are you even going with this? Did you even read any of this? 

 

4. Oh right, no. There's only a very vocal community of people hating the decision and asking why. But feel free to invalidate their existence as long as it furthers your own opinion. 

 

5. It's very simple psychology, dude.

 

And no, no it isn't. What you're describing it a misunderstanding, and it doesn't change the meaning of the message. Feel free to try again, though. 

1) I'm okay with being "that guy", whatever that means.

2) Now you are being "that guy". Here's a story. How do you make it more progressive? Apply shoe polish on some of the characters' faces. For what reason? I don't know, it's just "more progressive" that way.

3) You said there was "no reason" for the gender filp. There's a reason.

4) I don't invalidate their existence, I invalidate their relevance.

5) Yup, a very simple error in human psychology.

I do not need to try again. The point stands. It doesn't matter what you think about yourself, it's up to others to judge your actions.
