I'm having a difficult time with this... why does it matter, specifically?
I'm still thinking it over, and I'll look up more info online. I know that it bothers me; I'll get back to you on the reasoning when I have a complete statement that satisfies me.
It's nothing against you or this thread, more the article itself; it's trying to generate serious discussion about race and gender when really it's just a fucking film about a post-apocalyptic world (and even then it's a bit on the crazy side).
Yeah I know, it's cool.

Article.

Quote
Mad Max: Fury Road is making waves as a must-see “feminist” film, largely in reaction to calls for a boycott by so-called men’s rights activists (MRAs) based on analyses such as “[Charlize] Theron sure talked a lot… Nobody barks orders to Mad Max.” In a desire to protect and invest in anything MRAs don’t like, many women and male feminist allies raced to theaters.

As Eileen Jones notes, when you actually look for the feminist plot elements in Fury Road, there’s not much there. However, there’s another thing missing in Fury Road: people of color. Despite being set in Australia—historically an Aboriginal country—and filmed in Namibia, the world of Fury Road is eerily white. Out of 15 characters listed in the opening credits, only two are visibly people of color: Toast the Knowing, played by Zoe Kravitz (who is biracial, Black and Ashkenazi Jew), and Cheedo the Fragile, played by Courtney Eaton (who, according to Australian tabloid The Sunday Times, “credits her father with her Caucasian looks,” but has Maori, Pacific Islander and Chinese lineage). Neither held a lead role, and some audiences seem to have missed that Eaton was non-white, citing Kravitz as the only identifiable woman of color.

By contrast, Fury Road offers variety of white men, some tall, some thin, some not so thin, and a posse of beautiful cisgender white women who serve as “breeders”—sexual and reproductive slaves—for the cult leader of this corner of the post-apocalyptic world, Immortan Joe. The effect is the aesthetic of a Chanel runway, with one or two women of color for flavor. Many have claimed the film put women ahead—but which women? Certainly not women who are very visibly racialized through curves and features. “Ethnically ambiguous” seems to be the only type of racialized woman who makes it to the end of the world.

Kravitz and Eaton’s characters do survive the film, and having a person of color standing at the end makes Fury Road a rare unicorn within the post-apocalyptic genre. But that’s a very low bar.

You know what occurred to me this evening? There were no aboriginals in Mad Max. That's a huge slip up if you ask me.

Elegiac is a quality poster, guys.
He's not the best, but still way better than you, lol. I'd rather see overtly silly stuff all the time than overty negative stuff all the time.
difference is that i never claimed to be a quality poster
I post plenty of news and articles of interest. You're just caustic garbage lol. I'm tempted to mute you again just so I don't have to look at you scuttling around the forum shitting everything up.
[insert harassment here]

oh wait, i've never actually done that
The level you've got it at at the moment is fine, but I can see you slipping when you feel the need to post multiple hate comments in a thread, so be careful, if you get obsessed again- get the posse together as well- and start derailing my threads, and the threads of others, just to get at me, then I will start compiling evidence, fresh evidence. You can deny it all you like, those are things you've done.

That'll be all.
