Yeah I should have probably thought about that before writing something so extreme. But I'm genuinely very angry with people complaining about stuff grumpy old Luke as an indication of a feminist agenda when men go around doing FAR worse. And nothing bad the male characters do in the sequel trilogy is tied to their gender. Most bad things men do in real life are, on the other hand.

That was my point. The way I see it, using the term "feminist propaganda" as a derogative implies that it specifically sets out to make men look bad. I see no evidence whatsoever of that in the sequel trilogy or any aspects of a traditional female power fantasy, so someone taking issue with this from a political perspective (as opposed to from a narrative perspective) tells me things about them I don't even want to imagine.

Why do people need men to look good on screen? Complaining about portrayals of male characters in movies strikes me as beyond stupid, as if men are suddenly marginalized and need to be depicted positively.
