Remember when certain feminists on Twitter were upset because the official trailer for Captain Marvel had Samuel L Jackson having more spoken dialogue than the titular character? This sounds like they were influenced by that. It's still mind-numbingly stupid.

Okay but why though

Is that.... necessary? >.>

Sounds like a huge waste of time.

but why

Let's not pretend men wouldn't be up in arms if we found out the reverse were true.

This is true, but only those with small dick energy.

You didn't answer the question so I'll ask again:

Good, black men are a marginalized group in America

I can't think of more idiotic things to do than feel outrage over this sort of shit...

I wonder if these idiot "journalists" actually think doing this accomplishes anything, random fake bullshit outrage over something as idiotic as how many lines a woman says on a movie...

Time magazine sucks. This isnt new information. Its poorly sourced opinion articles disguised with a facade of prestige

Somebody probably got upset that Margot Robbie didn't get a lot of screen time in Once Upon A time in Hollywood despite one of its main points being its connections to the Manson family and Sharon Tate. Iirc Tate's sister was upset that it focused more on Brad and Leo's characters. So the complaint, while it's not a very valid one imo, is quite relevant and I can see why people would piggieback off of it.

Edit:lol reading the article now and it was exactly what I said.

Lines? They need to be counting letters.

Time has the funding for this? Lol

Because 2019.

Writer: Should we maybe do a piece on gun violence in America, about how...
Editor: No. Here's $12, go to the movies and count how many time Margot speaks in the new Tarntino movie.

How many of us would care, though? Like, it's legitimately a non-issue. Counting _lines_ for gender disparity in movies? Are we moving the goalposts of inequity from wages to lines of dialogue? Are we going to ensure that we have an equal amount of men and women on the screen at the same time?

Isnt a woman the star of two of his biggest films?

What worthless journalism.

They destroyed they're own wage gap inequality argument.

Men speak more in film, thus why they get paid more. Seems logical.

If they don't like it make your own stuff. I watch orange is the new black and don't complain about the lack of Male dialogue. Why should he have any obligation to anyone else for his own art.

This might be the worst take I've seen all month

I think it's mostly due to his movies having most of the women as either foot fetish fuel or just being there because they have feet and are women.
Like he pretends to be this great director but really he's just a foot fetishist.

This is the kind of shit that turns feminist and social justice movements into jokes and takes away from real issues that the actual remaining sane feminists want to combat.

It all comes down to representation, right? Women want to feel like they're actually characters/part of the plot, rather than just window dressing/love interests/objects to torture. We've seen men complain about female reboots, genderswapped characters, men who seem actually competent and not just as a dupe who makes the female MC look better. So its clear everyone wants the same level of respect in movies.

Therefore, for a guy who's regarded as one of the best directors of our time and maker of ~10 movies to basically pay lip service to his female characters feels like something worth talking about.

Jackie brown and kill bill though

Quentin is full soy boy, the left should know who its enemies are
