"JJ Abrams was sure to pigeonhole 💀 culture into the movie; the ham-fisted message is: look how competent a girl can be....over and over and over again. Totally obvious this was him giving in to militant feminists, the same feminists who made that rocket scientist cry over a shirt he wore."
gee, it's as if JJ Abrams didn't work with Joss Whedon or create Alias or anything with strong female protagonists before the rise of 💀/trendy progressive culture. it's not like he demanded that Uhura be given a more developed role than that of "black sexpot lieutenant." alias and the rewritten Uhuru came before society had ever heard of Feminist Frequency.
also, matt taylor's fucking shirt was inappropriate for the press conference at hand. they knew in advance when the probe was going to land. they had time to get ready. i know matt taylor is the "rock star scientist." i know a woman designed his shirt. i know he didn't mean harm by it. but his shirt merely reiterates, by proxy, that there is a bro culture in STEM fields. that doesn't mean that the backlash should've gotten to the point where he cried, but there's a difference between dressing up in kustom kulture duds and wearing scenes from Heavy Metal on your chest while talking seriously about the technological shit you had to do just to make sure the probe lands on the comet.
I bet you're the kind of guy who calls Brianna Wu "John Flynt" because you can.

Also I think you should have touched on the actual movie a bit more but you're pretty spot on, otherwise
