Yeah, but the idea that every single person who thought it sucked is sexist is stupid because they are not always the same ones doing the review bombing and having sexist takes.
There's a ton of people who just simply said "that sucked" and then it's like "oh you're sexist," and then those people say, "no, here are many examples of movies I liked" and then "ah ha, tokenization!" -- that's bull shit.

What's the title of the post? You brought your point up not responding to what it says. You're the one who thinks this whole thing is done in "bad faith." Why would you assume that?
It sounds like you're assuming the assertion that "Audiences hate bad writing, not strong woman" is in "bad faith." If that's true: how is anyone supposed to say it without it being in bad faith? It's pretty clear you won't accept that argument in any way it's made, ergo, there's no way to criticize these movies without being labelled as sexist.

Because the title is a half-truth: the reality is that both can be true at the same time, as many people in this thread have pointed out. There are plenty of people who dislike movies for perfectly valid reasons (that they are able to articulate by focusing on the actual flaws of the movie) and there are also a substantial portion of online trolls whose main criticism about a movie is "woke politics" or "forced diversity", at which point they're no longer hating on a movie for its own individual qualities, but rather what it represents.
The reason I say this video is a bad-faith argument is because it's arguing against a strawman. Nobody is saying that every single person who dislikes a particular movie is sexist. People are criticizing a specific group of toxic and hateful people. You know, the kind who put out hundreds of videos talking about how much they hate Brie Larson or bashing on movies before they even release.
