You know what's a normal, rational response? Addressing another human being with a polite conversation and not assuming the worst about them before talking to them. If your first instinct is to "test" the opposite gender about their film preferences and then dismiss them entirely if they don't align to your personal tastes, then that speaks volumes about how you think of and treat other people as a general rule, and more likely, how you think of the opposite gender, broadly speaking.
That post exemplifies everything wrong with modern fandom by being needlessly antagonistic and judgemental before ever engaging in a real discussion. If she ever approached me (assuming I'd never seen her post) and the topic came up, and she told me Last Jedi was her favorite. I would say, "that's cool." Tell her I'm an OT guy and likely talk about something else. Even learning someone is a fan doesn’t typically prompt my interest enough to discuss the series. I'd much rather talk about other things.
Despite what many fans think, you can have strong opinions about a film, and just because I feel Last Jedi ruined everything, doesn't mean that my first impulse would be to "test" another person about what they like or don't like. I'd rather meet someone where they are, and treat them as respectfully as they would treat me.
The only reason I've been vocal about my distaste here or elsewhere online is because for the last twelve years I've been told to shut up and that my opinion isn't allowed or welcome and I'm often met with straight on antagonistic responses, or passive aggressive nods towards disrespect. Just because I don't agree with someone, doesn't automatically mean I hate them as a person. My friends like all kinds of crap that I can't stand, but they're still my friends.
This all or nothing bull has to stop. There's room for everyone.
STAR WARS used to bring people together. Now, it just tears them apart.
By design.
That’s the actual problem.
