1. Genuinely loveist people who dislike the idea of a female lead and
2. People who think the writers are going to shoehorn in a female lead with no personality to appeal to a certain demographic without actually fleshing her out as a character, a la Marvel Comics

ive seen comments on the situation through twitter drama and yeah that pretty much nails it. if the writers do forget up their job it'll prove the points of no.2 and I guess the pitchforks can justifiably be raised, im mostly confused by the first mindset akin to primary school "no gurls allowed". its so odd to me

i also agree that people should screen talented actors/actresses before shoehorning them into a movie. in fact, that's what every major movie producer does nowadays. it's not like they say "yo we need girlies to act no experience necessary" because obviously that's going to forget up their box office sellings
in the case of ghostbusters 2 or whatever, the actresses were actually somewhat talented but the writer forgeted up

They forced women writers onto the Rick n Morty team so he... isn't wrong. They had some unplanned mix up in the team so, while I wouldn't say WOMEN are at fault, women are... kind of at fault, you know? But like I said before, I don't give a stuff, as long as they don't suck. Forcing stuffty women into roles of power just bc they're women only puts forward the false reality that women suck at doing certain things, when it reality the sucky women are just being placed into - you get the point.

Well unfortunately there's always gonna be loveists. And I mean actual loveists, not like, what third wave feminists think loveists are.

big hooplah over nothing if you ask me
it's like they're asking for actual misogynists to hate on it by giving it such massive press coverage
who cares? if she's good, she's good
