The SJW crap did hurt A wrinkle in time, no doubt about that. 

 

I never heard about that before, and when it released in theaters I was looking for something to watch so I watched a trailer of it. My thoughts at the end of the trailer were something like "Some SJW black female teenager empowerment TV movie level garbage", and I never paid attention again to this crap. Even if critics said that it was awesome, I would consider it political agenda and never see it.

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one. 

Everything is considered SJW these days

When the entire point of the trailer is "Unpopular black female teenagers can be heroes too", yeah, it stinks of SJW. 

 

Using black and female characters has been done for years, never had an issue with that. But when the only focus of the marketing, the character and even the movie is "look look look, our character is black AND female, and she's a hero!", without any other valuable characteristic for the character, then yeah, it's just SJW.

 

Create good characters, with a solid background story, good personality, doing interesting things with smart dialogues (and focus your marketing on that), and nobody will care if they're white, black, female, green or hermaphrodite. Is it too hard to understand?
