I knew Booksmart would be Liberal & what not, but damn I should have known how far it'd take it

Here's one I managed to dig out:
“I think [Booksmart] reflects how fluid young people are today, and I was inspired by them. They’ve rejected the binary terms we use, and they’ve just said, ‘Look, we’re going to think about it differently,’” she said. “And, by the way, no one is saying, ‘Give us credit for this. Look at our wokeness.’ It’s effortless. When I speak to these people, I realize we [older generations] are dinosaurs.”
She said the exact same thing I said. Today's kids being super liberal and whatnot is a *reflection of reality*. The fact that she endorses that reality is besides the point. Though if John Hughes hated 80s teenagers, I don't think those movies would have been as good.
And since you've already gotten on the "since I'm not sh*tting my pants about there being gay kids in a teen comedy set in 2019, I must support Wilde's politics" train in your last reply: for the record, I only believe in two genders and think this non-binary stuff is ridiculous. And I pretty much hate third wave feminism. But I'm not a 17 year old girl from LA.
And back to me having the benefit of having seen the movie, I don't even know what her non-binary quotes are referring to as that never really comes up. I guess the skater chick the main girl is attracted to was supposed to be? But I just figured she was a tomboy. So that'll show how forced and hamfisted a message there is.
I didn't say anything about gay kids.
Not once, that's all your head.
I quoted what a POLITICAL ACTIVIST said about her movie lol.
And as far as "shifting" through my posts......you replied to me about those interviews.....if you're going to try to debate with someone maybe you should at least pay attention to what they're saying? I posted those links for everyone to see.
Again, you agree with her politics so it doesn't bother you but you can't deny she's pushing her politics in her movie. She LITERALLY says she is.
So you used the first four points of your post to split hairs, and the last one to blatantly lie seeing as how I LITERALLY just said I don't agree with third wave feminism and non-binary genders. I wasn't trying to debate you until my last reply, and you wasted my time.
*What she said* is that kids today are hip on the liberal sh*t, and she's happy to show it. Again, not contradicting anything I've said.
And not that it matters considering you'll probably just keep straw-manning me and ignoring my points, but I brought up gay kids because that's what the actual movie brings up. And it's what the OP, the inciter of this debate, brings up. Political activism is not something the movie brings up, neither are non-binary issues unless that one character happened to be. Again, she's the closest thing to non-binary in the movie, and it's not even dwelled upon.
