The headline was enough for me. Why does it even matter?

It's disheartening that it would even be a topic of discussion.

There's been a ton of politics around this movie. I've tried to avoid reading about most of it.

^Yeah, that Amazonian Attack on the U.S back in the pre-Flashpoint DC universe has really made them controversial :P

As for why it is a discussion,
It's the age of making sure they're turning enough previously non-black characters, black.
They need to know how their quotas fare.

You can't say 'quota'! It's 'justice.'

Go read some of the stuff about how this is a Feminist triumph in the Age of Trump. And how it contrasts with the anti-Feminist attitudes that hurt the Ghostbusters reboot. It's not hard to find and it's kinda nauseating.

It's not enough that Wonder Woman is a good movie and Ghostbusters was not. There has to be some social/political statement associated with it.

It's just a general statement, not really directed at you in particular.

I really have no patience for social justice warriors of any stripe anymore. I used to be able to hear them out but the old phrase 'give an inch, they make an industry out of it' really is true.

I've grown weary of it as well. We've become a society of victims.

White is nothing really, unless you count repressive, privileged, land-stealing, genocidal  racists in your crayon box....at least, that's what I've learned from social media and the news.

So...

Does this mean milk is still racist?  Or....?

Strawberry milk is preferred 3-1 by college kids when they're not huddled in their safe spaces.

I think that posting Mirths man boobs to the front page might result in said front page getting less attention then it already does.

It's Gus-Speak to prompt a response so he can insult you with an obscure 'strawberry' reference. He has a million of them. Don't feed the beast!
