[QUOTE="Leonard D Neubache, post: 431210, member: 11069"] At this stage of events I'm not sure how much feminist bullshit is driven from the top down or from the bottom up. Consider, most people at a monster truck rally are probably going to be guys. Most of the remainder are probably women that go because their man wants to go. If the guys running the event painted the trucks pink and increased their audience by 50% through female attendance while only losing 25% of male supporters do you think they'd turn down the extra cash? You could make a red-pilled TWD but how many women would watch it? Personally I'm starting to get the sense that this girl-power nonsense is less about SJW propaganda and more about making an utterly cynical choice about what elements to add to tap a maximum amount of the potential audience. It's less agenda and more marketing at this point. Imagine you went back to the 50's and let women secretly watch this series. Do you think they would be disgusted by the idea of combat capable women or would they like the idea as long as nobody else [i]knew[/i] they liked the idea? The latter I suspect. This is cynical marketing aimed at the egos of as many participants as possible. That's all this is. Take your average soldier for example. What do you think is going through his mind when he sees entire regiments and forts fallen to zombies while plucky civillians manage to survive in makeshift tribes? I reckon he probably either laughs or spits at the floor. But what gets more asses in seats? The truth, that the military would utterly dominate, or the fantasy, that Joe Average could beat the odds even as trained soldiers were overrun and massacred (and we aaaaallll imagine ourselves to be a survivor, not a zombie, right?)? So is it propaganda to say that civilians would survive while military men would mostly end up dead? No. Just marketing. Just like fem-power. Not intentional propaganda (even if it functions as such), just marketing. [/QUOTE]
