And 99.8% of people watching a new Indy movie do not know or give a single fuck about Kathleen Kennedy. The internet is an echo chamber of extreme minority opinion.

This I buy tbh, just sick of hearing so much about it everywhere online. For how much anti-progressives complain about "logic", I see absolutely none of it in their choices of what movies to attack or not. Dial of Destiny didn't seem to put any special emphasis on Phoebe-Waller Bridge's Helena compared to, say, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 with Hayley Atwell's Grace or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 did with Gamora and Nebula, yet somehow Indy was the one that got pre-release pushback for pushing "feminist crap" and not those two movies. Not to mention a recent Midnight's Edge video which seemed to bend over backwards to not file Barbie as "woke", which makes it super arbitrary what they decide is or isn't. I guess a lot of you are used to this but I'm really not.

The thing that truly bothers me about the whole Kathleen Kennedy thing is the insinuation that she's somehow trying to destroy Star Wars and Indy and remake them into her own image without virtually any concrete evidence of such, specifically how it implies that she wants to do that just because she's a she. As if women somehow are naturally like that, and it doesn't help that former WB CEO Ann Sarnoff was getting similar accusations levelled at her. Not to mention YouTube commenters outright stating stuff akin to said implications more blatantly.
