Wait, I'm confused. What are we blaming SJWs for right now?

Their reason for gender swapping sort of makes sense since they barely want to sell Black Widow toys. They don't think kids, particularly boys, will be interested. I have no idea whether they're right or wrong, but as far as I know boys are raised to dislike "girl stuff". It's also apparent that girls aren't part of their target demographic, because girls don't get their parents to buy them toys or something. I'm sure geeks would buy them, Black Widow figures that is, I'm just not sure how many would.

Of course their reason stops making sense once Killian toy sales are taken into consideration. Easily the least interesting character in the movie. Sort of makes that "twist" more infuriating. And I doubt any of the kids gave a damn about him. He only has Lego toys, right?
