There was no “hostility”.
This was the post that started it, in the midst of people who had actually seen the movie discussing it:
To which I responded as has been noted, that it is a bit weird to have such a sarcastic trashing of a movie when you haven’t seen it, based exclusively on how you perceive it fits in with your social or political agenda and based on something you read on the internet. Yes I responded with sarcasm in turn, comparing that to review bombing, which is also trashing something sight unseen based on hearing something about it and how it fits with some agenda you have.
Honestly a pretty mild jibe to my sense, to a mild annoyance.
My saying that it definitely not a movie everyone would like was read as saying they were unsophisticated, the ongoing discussion about it being interpreted as misogynistic by some that I had started in the thread was read as dismissive and defensive and I was then called an “asshole”
WTF?
That was no sarcasm. It was clear hostility. Yes I requested the mods call for some chilling out. And while I questioned my comment being labeled as inappropriate I accepted their call.
If there is any doubt that @Eonwe was saying more than that they didn’t feel it was worth their time then the subsequent posts, including this thread’s OP makes it clear: any comment from the many who have seen it that no that isn’t really what the movie is, at least in our opinions, it is due to their dismissive and defensive misogyny. They haven’t seen it but since there are, among many positive reviews and some (I think incorrectly) declaring it a strong feminist movie, a handful of those who have seen it who declare it a male fantasy well that is all they need to know and anyone else who thinks otherwise is a misogynist pig.
Okay then.
