I don't know about Feminist , however it was really loved by many black women due to the idea that you didn't have to met these body standards set up by others to still be lovely .

From what I remember, the test isnt meant to be an individual indicator of quality, but a lithmus test to observe trends in storytelling.

Of course, the original test came from a feminist comic where the character refused to watch any movie that failed to meet those criteria lol.

I still go back once in a while to reread some Seanbaby articles.

Brockway had some hits as well: https://www.cracked.com/blog/revisiting-old-school-text-adventures-as-a-jaded-modern-gamer/

Nicki Minaj did it better, as Sir Mix-A-Lot himself pointed out. Yes, her version makes me want to lay waste to a ****ing city block, but it's supposed to, and in that, at least, it's got its own kind of brilliance.

I need a shower.

you remember correctly.

a movie isn't "bad" just because it doesn't pass the bechdel test, and it doesn't become "good" just for passing it.

it's just interesting to see how many movies fail to meet such simple criteria when a 20-second skit at the start of a rap song does

Does that really count as passing the bechdel test when the entire skit is about how she looks a girlfriend of 'rap guys'?

they mention "rap guys" but the conversation is still unquestionably about the woman's butt

I believed it. Cracked went to shit several years ago. The final straw was that "four reasons why Wikipedia is mysoginistic", where two of the reasons were actually just back story and the other two were actually about how Wikipedia is transphobic.

I used to love cracked back in 2012-2013.

But it became less about lists of interesting random nature/history facts and more of BuzzFeed political bullshit.

And they've gone straight to irrelevancy, I haven't even seen an article mentioned since 2014 or so.
