Riiiiight :-) Spin! Spin, you pathetic fool! [Reply]
no spin needed - the scene's credibility was further informed by the earlier scene in the movie where it shows she's a highly skilled loader operator [Reply]

The fragile pussies here would lose their shit lol

In Aliens, it is the guys who are all out of action at the climax and Ripley who is in a death duel with evil. As Director Cameron says, the endless "remulching" of ( the masculine hero by the "male-dominated industry" is, if nothing else, commercially shortsighted. "They choose to ignore that 50% of the audience is female. And I've been told that it has been proved demographically that 80% of the time, it's women who decide which film to see."
Is James Cameron the father of modern wokeism in Hollywood?
"Modern woke trash! Ripley was just a warrant officer on an interstellar freighter. She had to be taught how to shoot a gun by Hicks and yet she's able to walk into an Alien den and kill the queen?!? GAY SHIT."
