they should do a movie about a female time traveler. like imagine either something like futurama but with a female Fry. or like a female Back to the Future situation. or a female Encino Man might work too. Not exactly time travel but like someone finds a frozen cavewoman and she adapts to modern times

Why not write something and get it published, if you find the genre lacking then improve on it yourself.

But we have proof right here in this topic that it was conceived purely because the lead would be a woman.

Or is that not how we're doing this hypothetical

I don't think he was saying any of those are bad. If anything though, he's wrong since LiS has fantastic reviews.

Unfortunately, there's still a large percentage of people who consider it an "SJW" story or walking simulator.

well ok fine but the most famous ones are all men. there is no big huge blockbuster about a female time traveler that became part of pop culture. Maybe when it starts, the female Doctor will enter those ranks. we'll see

Steins;Gate didn't have a female time traveler, unless you count the dumb movie.

E: also that one side character in the VN but that was also pretty dumb

E:e: damn I'm tired. Ok yeah that one character was great.

Outlander was a whole show about a female time traveler. Very popular in fact.

Female Back to the Future reboot with Ellen Page as Mary McFly and Jane Lynch as Doc Emilia Brown.

Does this mean her young dad will sexually assault her by grabbing her leg, and her dad will get almost raped by a female biff only to be saved by her mom?

No, she will still have awkward sexual situations with her mom. It is Ellen Page after all. Her mom will be curious about experimentation.
