I would like to say I remember when we liked things here, but I originally joined in '99 when TPM hit so I guess that would be a lie.

It seemed to sexualize them, squatting booty shakes to keep the teenage boys watching.

If the scene didn't specifically feature Megan Thee Stallion who, as an artist, is well known for twerking, I might feel differently.
It was interesting to see this episode give its commentary on real world trolling of superheroes, more specifically female superheroes by the mostly male, vocal section of fandom.
Kudos Marvel.

So, it’s acceptable because an artist who is well known does it is featured in the episode? Let’s hope there’s no episode where Jennifer is shown drugging men and stealing their money because Cardi B was in the episode and doing it. XD
Would you be as upset if it were two guys celebrating by messing around shadow boxing each other? Because it could be argued that encourages violence.
The scene was two women in an office celebrating a new contract. It was in context.
I wasn't a huge fan of that scene and didn't think it added much to the story but it was harmless.

It was a joke, RM. I even included an XD at the end of my post. Maybe I should use an emoji so to avoid confusion. My bad.
I don't know what XD means.

It’s a sideways laughing face. It’s this if I had used the emoji version:

Don’t know who she is, or what twerking is, so to me, it looked like sexualized women.

"...twerking isn’t new. In many West African cultures, it was an expression of joy and celebration performed at family gatherings and weddings. One blogger recalls seeing older women in her predominantly West African church go to the front of the church and twerk if a certain song of praise was sung. There, it was not a sexual thing; it was a form of worship."

She tripled her net worth in 2 years, yet still gives millions to organizations that help feed people, provide assistance to poor communities, and animals... but she does a dance that offends western parochial views of female sexuality, so she's a bad role model...

Because celebrations and weddings never involve anything to do with sex?
From the same article:
"twerking. This sexual and provocative dance move has taken the world by storm."
"Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, which defines it as “sexually suggestive dancing characterized by rapid, repeated hip thrusts
Not from the article:
Because celebratory events typically resulted in African pizza parties and binge-watching seasons of Friends, no sex involved!.
I mean, really, how is a stork gonna be able to accompliash ANYTHING with the woman thrusting her hips like that!?!?!?!
***SHEESH***
Is this the same writer who claims animal aren't injured in hunting parties?
Yup, nothing sexual to see here, move along
Once again, please note the sarcasm

Wow that’s sad the western parochial views of her are negative.I sure am glad western media is like 4th or 5th on my watch list for entertainment.If she gives back then I still say she is a good role model,one in which I won’t waste a thought on.

Western society has a lot of growing to do in terms of moral panic over anything remotely resembling female sexuality. I'm not surprised at the reaction, just disappointed.
