I mean, it's true

It's not just female leads, it's the entire patheon of social justice nuttery.

If I'm all set to sit down and watch your movie or your TV series, your job is to sell me on the characters, sell me on the plot, sell me on the setting and events. If any of those don't ring true, or your ideology and agenda leak through and infect the story, you're going to risk losing me. Go too far, and make it rather blunt, and I just don't want any part of it. I might even agree with your politics or your agenda, but I didn't pay my money and commit my time to be lectured to.

I loved Big Mouth ... until it got preachy and ran a PSA episode for Planned Parenthood, specifically to stick a needle in the eye of conservatives. I support PP, but why the fuck would I sit through an entire PSA episode for an organization that I already support, an episode had literally nothing to do with the characters or plot?

I loved Bojack Horseman ... until it got preachy and had Diane tossing around feminist dogma and partially converting Bojack.

Show after show, movie after movie, there's these blatant, pointed insertions that are clearly the director advancing an agenda. As I so often put it - agenda kills immersion dead. Just tell me the fucking story already and get over yourselves. You aren't that important.

The problem i have is that theyl gladdly remove sexism of women from media. But sexism of men still persists worse than ever in film.

Male expendability
Stupid meathead male/ stupid father
villainous male(mostly white males in this category)
incompetent male is a relatively new clishe. Its that weird concept when men and women are put against one another, the man always loses (usually). Or the woman dominates the male, but the male never dominates the woman unless hes the villain.
and another general category would be sexual double standards. Ie: good men cant hit women or they are automatically bad men etc... But the woman can do the same anytime and the audience will be laughing or cheering.

Honestly i study misandry in media and i can go on... This Honestly is just scratching the surface.

Also, just maybe, if you have an industry which has been funded and sponsored by men for almost the entirety of its existence (who doesn't remember comics being a nerd-virgin-guy thing?) just try not to shit on this very group?

I will not spend my money on content that keeps telling society that I, a straight man, am the villain and root of all evil in our civilization.

It makes me want to tell all of them to go suck a dick, but I guess that's irreparably sexist nowadays.

Regardless if the point is correct or not, the easy rebuttal to this would be that a strong female character isn’t/shouldn’t be considered a social message
