Lauren Chen: Feminism forces Hollywood to hate men; here's the proof
February 09, 2024
In almost all Hollywood blockbusters coming out these days, men are being displayed as incompetent and lazy.
Meanwhile, actresses like Brie Larson have been chosen to outshine these once legendary characters like Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and the Hulk.
“Hollywood seems to genuinely hate men,” Lauren Chen says, who admits she is “not a fan of the obvious feminist propaganda that seems to be a part of almost every single TV show and film nowadays.”
While Chen doesn’t believe there’s anything wrong with female empowerment or being pro-women, there is something wrong with the way Hollywood is going about it.
“It’s not just pro-women, it’s actively anti-man, and those are two very different things,” she explains, adding, “you don’t need to tear one gender down in order to lift up the other.”
The most notable way Hollywood tears men down is by having “weak and sidelined male characters” in a lot of reboots of popular franchises.
"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" is one of the most recent examples of this, as historically, Indiana Jones was portrayed as strong, moral, and intelligent.
“Fast forward to 'Dial of Destiny' and instead, we see the once great Dr. Jones as easily overshadowed by his goddaughter,” Chen explains, noting that Jones isn’t the only male character who's been turned weak.
Obi-Wan Kenobi from the "Star Wars" franchise was a hero who now has his own series on Disney+. However, his character in the new series couldn’t be farther from what he once was.
And a lot of it has to do with who’s in charge.
“We’ve gotten to a point in society where discrimination against men is just so common and accepted that studios won’t even hide the fact that they were specifically looking for females to be in charge of certain films,” Chen says.
