I'm tired of this overemphasis on diversity spilling into our entertainment.

If you're fine living in cognitive dissonance, that's your prerogative.

 

The fact that the humor was shit played a role, yeah. The fact that they essentially gender swapped everything also made a dent on popularity. If you want to deny that, feel free, but it won't change the fact that taking a male-dominated IP and making every protag an unattractive woman will result in backlash (even if it is funny).

Oh that's a shame, I thought this was gonna end on amicable terms, but you decided to squeeze out an insult right at the end for no reason. Disappointing tbh.

Also that unnatractive kinda came out of nowhere, that was wierd. And entirely subjective. Either way the fact it wasnt funny played the biggest role. It's why nobody cares that Domino in Deadpool 2 is black. The movie is good and everyone loves her character.

Well, when you're going to pretend that something is okay going one direction but not the other in regards to unchanging aspects of a person's being such as race or gender, that's prejudice. I refuse to find common ground that actively gives advantage to someone concerning traits they can't control.

 

People were upset that she was black. There's always backlash when that happens, but media doesn't cover it unless they can pin a specific person as racist or bigoted. I was personally pissed off about it originally. But now that the movie has proven itself, most have forgotten about it (except left-leaning establishments who want to constantly remind you how diverse something is).
