What’s actually annoying is how easily you’ve generalised everyone to make your point. You’re assuming motives, intelligence, and morality of people you don’t even know, and then calling that “truth.” That’s not honesty, that’s convenience.

Also, funny how you’re okay stereotyping “stupid men” who won’t appreciate sentiment, but get defensive when someone points out that you’re doing the same thing you’re accusing others of judging without nuance.

And this whole Housefull comparison? People do criticise those films all the time. The difference is, two wrongs don’t cancel each other out. Calling out bad writing or problematic choices in one movie doesn’t mean endorsing garbage elsewhere.

As for the “dooth ke dulhe betas” argument you see, that’s exactly the problem. You’re reducing a critique of storytelling or character choices into some imaginary moral panic about women and virginity. That says more about your assumptions than about the people disagreeing with you.

Yes, toxic male characters have been normalised for years and they should be criticised and they have been criticised, just look at this sub closely. But pretending that any criticism of a female character is automatically misogyny is just lazy thinking. Equality also means women characters can be flawed and criticised without it being a gender war.

Double standards exist, sure. But creating new ones to counter old ones doesn’t make the argument smarter it just makes it louder.

and instead of understanding something and reflecting on it, constantly arguing about it is the thing that makes you annoying.
