Hanna Rosin @HannaRosin I deleted a tweet that many of you rightly pointed out was offensive. I've read your responses and I hear you. My tweet was careless and thoughtless. Truly. The movie was telling a story about queer AAPI men, whose experiences don't show up enough in movies or anywhere else 1/3 Hanna Rosin @HannaRosin So @hulu #Firelsland Movie gets an F- on the Bechdel test in a whole new way. Do we just ignore the drab lesbian stereotypes bc cute gay Asian boys? Is this revenge for all those years of the gay boy best friend? 1:18 PM Jun 6, 2022.

very old comic _"Reviews for the new Ghostbusters 2016 movie are coming out, and apparently, the movie is full of male-bashing, portraying every single male character as an a------, stupid, or both. That made me remember how movies and tv shows continuously portray men as stupid, assholes, unreliable, deadbeat dads, murderers, rapists, and outright disposable, while women are always intelligent, reliable, good, and valuable. So I had the idea of doing a “male Bechdel test”; the Kuku test. *This is intended as a joke.* Even if all these things DO indeed happen A LOT, to the point that you would have to eliminate most movies in existence to pass this test, that doesn’t mean those movies are trying to be sexist, or the industry hates men; the same that it’s not against women because they don’t pass the stupid Bechdel test. All of those things are a consequence of gynocentrism and political correctness, which makes men want to act for the benefit of women (and thus watching products in which the protagonists save a loved one) and media to show women as superior and perfect to avoid any backlash. Also, time limitations imply that stories are usually simple and straightforward, like a Damsel in distress, and characters don’t speak about anything not related to the movie story itself and its characters. This is especially relevant for action movies, where fights consume most of the time and are preferred by men. Of course, there are particular movies with sexism towards women, and others with sexism toward men. Like Ghostbusters :)."_
