Wall-E already had an underlying political message about environmentalism and consumerism. Why can't this douche just be happy with that and shut the fuck up? Oh that's right, because these whiny little fucks are never happy with anything. If it doesn't check all of the boxes it's 'problematic'.

If anything this author is deeply homophobic and transphobic for failing to mention the obvious TERF messaging in a movie about robots. Binary life forms.

Even though robots are genderless they still have a heteronormative romance between two digital beings. It's basically genocide for children.

Purity spirals gonna purity spiral. If you say something that is loved by everyone else is wicked, you kick everyone who likes it off AND reach the top of the purity spiral for right now at once, so you get to be the leader!

Just shows how quickly the left eats its own. You think you're the most extreme, wokest Antifa member around, and before you know it some young punk is calling you a reactionary boomer.

This is known as asking the other question. There is unironically a stragegy to attempt to find fresh ways to be offended.

The ableism is a result of capitalist hedonism, they can't walk because they ate too much. How is this not obvious?

I think they know and they hate being called out on the fact they're hedonist fatsos.

and this is a population too fat to stand, let alone wipe their asses (and ironically the most heroic character, the Captain, is a fat guy played by a fat actor)
