Dear specific Fandomsecrets troll:
WE GET IT. You think that the film version of this particular comic is the most misogynistic piece of crap ever to hit the big screen. WE GOT IT THE FIRST TIME YOU POSTED SECRETS ABOUT IT. One a day is a bit much, but THREE TO FOUR A DAY IS OVER THE TOP. Please get a new hobby. Feel free to pick up a copy of the graphic novel that the movie was based on on your way out of the fandom, since it looks like you might not have read it in the first place. Or if you did, it doesn't look like you understood it at all.

^_^

	Seriously. I had no idea the male reproductive organs could be so traumatic. I think I was quite lucky at my showing because there was nary a snigger during Manhattan's scenes. The way other showings have been described to me, they sound like a sex-ed class in primary school. "omg, you can see his WILLIE! gigglesniggersnort" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's a cross between that and my male friends who'd never read the comic squealing, "OMG I AM SCARRED FOREVAH." Between that and the reviewers who seethed, "HOW DARE THEY SHOW FULL FRONTAL MALE NUDITY IN A MOVIE OBVIOUSLY MARKETED TOWARDS CHILDREN BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON A COMIC BOOK!" my clue bat is nearly worn to a nub.

I know! COMIC BOOK MOVIE =/= FOR KIDS, GUYS. SERIOUSLY.

I know people who won't take their kids to see The Dark Knight because of the violence/Ledger!Joker Means Business And Is Not Caesar Romero's Joker. These were comic book fans who know from the different incarnations of Batman, though. I guess a lot of people in the mainstream audience automatically think "oh, a comic book movie. It'll be like Spider Man. I can take the whole family!" Uh, no.

	I guess a lot of people see them more as guidelines now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm surprised, since so many parents seem to want to let everyone else do their parenting for them. One would think that movie ratings would be an easy shortcut; instead of actually researching what a movie is about and whether it's appropriate for their child, they can just look at the rating! But apparently even that is waaay too much effort for some people. eyeroll (Reply to this)(Parent)
