Ah yes, "toxic masculinity." "Oh my stars, a cis gendered, hetero-normative male is having adult relations with (UGH) women!" Of course Bond is too toxic for the #MeToo era! I mean how can he not be, a fictitious character having consensual sex is right on par with all the REAL rape, groping and forced perversion in ironically, "woke" leftist controlled Hollywood!bjmdds wrote:Ben Child @theguardian: Time's up for James Bond: is 007 too toxic for the #MeToo era? If we do enjoy Bond for his dark side, perhaps it is time to accept that this most enduring of characters no longer fits the archetype of a hero. It would be much easier to accept his spiky edges if the dapper secret agent were not sold as the epitome of British suavity and a role model for young men. He simply doesn’t fit the mould in the modern era, but the millions in corporate sponsorship dollars that production company Eon receives every time a Bond movie hits cinemas depend on 007 being an aspirational figure.
No Bond must be reduced to at worst an anti hero, at best a cackling villain because he dares to be hetero in the "modern era!"
Of course it's all the fault of those evil "corporations" for pouring all that money into the production, as part of their sinister conspiracy to hold back women! There's absolutely no way this toxic trash has an audience! No it's just patriarchal trash "forced" down the throats of a helpless population! What this individual doesn't get, these "corporations" are lining up to throw money at Bond because he's popular, people actually want to see it, they're trying to expand their brand and make money, not subsidize "the patriarchy."
However I can't blame this guy for feeling this way, I mean he's most likely a millennial, fresh out of his one semester of women's studies and ready to attack the world! With that he's probably only known Craig's "Bond," whom we all know is the least romantic interpretation thus far! I mean he's nearly Harvey Weinstein in his own right! Between his weak pick up lines in CR and QOS, His vulgar sex acts depicted in SF as well as the way he forces himself on the former child prostitute character in that film coupled with all of the above in SP, you can't blame kids these days for thinking Bond's a rapist!
