At least MovieBob saved the day lol.
I...I don't...

What is this even?

This nonsense is spiraling so far down the rabbit hole it's become a meta-parody of itself.

I think I'm done. I'm out.

No. It's parody, right? Come on... Right? It's gotta be Sandy Beaches all over again.

"I'm going to be angry over someone I've never met not seeing a movie" = this whole conundrum

And apparently Bob's MRA now? Seems like quite a shift from the Bob we all know and hate love :^)

To be fair, if Bob was on your side you'd also be like "Nah you guys can have him." Let's just declare him a sub terrainian lizard person, that way nobody has to claim him as one of their own... Except the lizard people.
*hiss* We don't want him.

Wait WHAT?! Where/when/how did this happen? I have many questions.
Bob apparently [https://archive.is/v6T12] doesn't think Rolfe is sub-human scum for calmly and concisely stating the reasons for his lack of interest in a movie, and actually agrees said movie looks, in fact, pretty bad.

I mean, that's all it takes these days, isn't it?

Maybe, I'd have to see some non-parody pieces calling him an MRA to weigh in on whether or not "that's all it takes."
Ironically, a parody piece appears to be all it takes.

Or, you know, he knows Rolfe's history of being a histrionic manbaby with issues with women, and maybe you don't.
Can you post sources for this accusations?
I asked the same thing and they staunchly refused to do so.

Seriously make me wonder what stock Amyss has in this to try and smear the guy's character though.

Are we still on this?! Rolfe doesn't want to see the movie!

Regardless of why, a general disdain for remakes, hatred of the female anatomy, dislike for McCarthy brand comedies, financial worries, lizard people, an inability to blindly go along with the corporate Hollywood marketing machine that treats nostalgia the same way MTV treats music, or its just his fucking date night with the missus and all he wants is to go to a pinball arcade for an evening, it shouldn't matter to any of us.

He's an independent, free human being. I guarantee he didn't see Starship Troopers 3 Marauder, and I did while being high in my dorm room as a Freshman. And I don't hate the man for it!

P.S. That song is so fucking catchy.

Twitter isn't news. I thought you meant he was on television or at least a "mainstream" news site.
It's not Twitter or the tweets themselves, but what they indicate that matters. It turns out that the Twitter whiners included a lot of progressive journalists, which is why a non-controversy involving "Influential US Film Critic James Rolfe" is suddenly making all kinds of news.

Umm. That website literally lets anyone write a new story on there. If you go to the homepage, there's a button at the top that says "Write a Story" and a tag lower down that literally says "Anyone can write on Medium". That particular story was written by someone who has only posted one story (that one), has a bio that simply reads "Intersectional Feminist and Pop Culture Critic" and nothing else, and has an avatar that's just "Woman with brightly dyed hair" because people can't get enough of that SJW stereotype.

The entire article is full of random buzzword phrases like "But instead of checking his privilege and apologizing, Bob doubled down and began mansplaining." That article is the most blatantly fake thing I've seen in years, but everyone's troll-senses just turn right off the moment SJWs are on the table, right?

EDIT: Just noticed you already got told that it's a hoax, but I thought I might as well throw in my bit to mention how blatant a hoax it is.

It would be nice if he does, smearing someone without providing proof is a really asshole thing to do. And you cant take serious the opinion of someone who spreads false accusations, since if they have no problem lying about a persons life, they woundt have problem lying with what they are saying or the information they present as facts

Look just because bob says the things bob says doesn't necessarily reflect on you. Obviously I know #notalllizardpeople.
Look, you, we insectoid have had quite enough of you lizardpeople flaunting your regrowing tails, and then turning those tails whenever one of your people acts up. #yesalllizardpeople #flylivesmatter

Anyhow: Yup. We know. Nobody is allowed to say they aren't going to see something, if a woman is involved with it. That's what progressivism has come to. But it's not progressives fault, the internet does shit to people.
Climb down off the cross, it just doesn't suit you.
What cross? He's absolutly right. James made a calm and reasonable video explaining why he doesn't want to see this movie, and a fair amount of the internet seems to have declared him the Feminist version of the Anti-Christ for it.

Heaven only knows what would've happened if he'd been in the Nerd persona when he made that video.
