The right wing media is purposeful trying to escalate gender wars.

Removed under rule 11. This is kinda rage-baitey and unnecessarily polarizing. It's not like left-wing media isn't guilty of doing the exact same thing.

I'm beyond the idea that only leftists can be truly concerned with people, and rightists just pretend to be so to polarize. Even when they are inaccurate (and who isn't every now and then) I think it a bit cheap to suggest that.

It's like the way Stan Lee talked about Spider-Man and the Peter Parker/Miles Morales versions. If you want a character with a different attribute, make a new character. You've already made the straight/white/British James Bond, so if you want a female version, make a new character with what you want. There's no need to erase the old character.

Plus it means you can have a movie with both James Bond and New Female Version Of Bond. That's what they did with Into the Spiderverse.

After all, why can't men and women each have a character? Why does something have to be taken away from someone else? Imagination isn't so limited as that.

So many right wing media outlets are misrepresenting what Craig said in a way that they know will provoke a response. Unfortunately people on Twitter and social media are likely to take headlines at face value and I’m sure the NY Post will get someone to go woke mop on Craig that they can then mock and make fun of. I guess this districts from issues like healthcare and collective bargaining. Ring wing media is not on our side

I had to look at the images several times because I didn't get your point at first, then I noticed the source. The left picture sounds more like something the radical left would do. They do this all the time. Someone says something in support of true egalitarianism, and they oversimplify it to make it sound sexist.

But I guess if you're really right wing (and not just in an old fashioned liberal kind of way, but a true conservative), then making him sound sexist would be a positive thing to you.

It's not a misrepresentation at all. That's what he said.

And what do you mean "escalate gender wars"? Men are under attack, and are increasingly (but still too rarely) speaking up against it. This is what Craig did in saying he didn't think James Bond should be gender-swapped. When the media draws attention to these comments (and thus normalizes men having backbone), we should support that.

This is what I always said.

Don't do remakes only to slap a vagina or a black person on top of it.

Make an original story with a female/black/LGBT/ whatever lead character.

That's how you fill the void of representation. Not by confirming to everyone that the original hero is a white man and everything else is just aspiring to be that ideal.

So is the ~~left~~? *for-profit neo-liberal corporations appealing the liberal and woke left. A story without conflict is boring. New content has to be pushed 24/7 and it has to compete, so the diligent reporting part has been dropped and now it's just new stories.

The entire media ecosystem is beyond saving.
