Female character with short hair and who does action stuff

MUST BE TRANS

Great movie btw.

She has a tweet later responding to George Miller stating that the film was playing into mythology about transcending a feminine state to almost god (or myth)-like level, which she claimed further proved it was about transition. A lot of people are incapable of appreciating or interacting with art or media unless they can find a direct connection to their identity. It's one of the biggest red flags I've noticed with poor media literacy today and a lot of people have been conditioned to think this way by social media. We made it ok to dismiss or criticize films for being too white, or too straight, or not inclusive enough while ignoring the intention of the art. Like...remember when Lady Bird came out and a certain segment of twitter was weirdly dismissive of it for being too white. That was 2017 so it was the peak of a lot of insanity, but the remnants of those arguments still resonate in a lot of people's brains whether they articulate it as clearly or not today.

If you can't identify with something solely because it's not a direct 1:1 for yourself, you have a fucking problem lol. And this leads to a lot of the weird shit. It reminds me of when people would do those weird shipping things for fictional characters on Tumblr, but now it's about creating weird delusions about characters in order to obsess over them. Oh this character in a movie doesn't talk much and is shy, he must be autism coded! Kill yourself, please.
