Remember that "Wonder Woman" was a hit even with the main character being the ultimate girl-boss—essentially a demigoddess raised by a warrior culture to be the ultimate fighter. I didn't have a problem with that, and neither did anyone else. Why? Because despite its flaws, the movie told a good story. It's not strong women (or prominent LGBTQ folks or whatever) that we hate: it's weak stories. And until Hollywood gets that message through its thick fucking skull, we can expect more and more ideology-driven crap. This is why, in most cases, I'd rather watch people face-planting on YouTube.
