I saw the promo pic of the five protagonists in combat gear with assault rifles.... all five of them women and said, 'forget it'.
Done with this nonsense. DONE.

I didn't even know there was a feminist category in science fiction. Perhaps an invention of convenience.
Personally, I would have to see it in use beyond one individual complainer. I haven't been to every bookstore, but the ones I have hit, never used that as a category. When one invents categories of feminism to hate on, that says something.
Haters have needs ,believe me. I go on the web to fix my corvette, a car favored by the socially insecure or the short penis types, sometimes both, so I read a lot of stuff about guns, hate of the unknown by the ignorant and other signs of corvette ownership.
Of course, without a discussion of the guys motives, I can't say I have any understanding of his positions, so can't criticize, to be fair. But some things are very common. Like me, a guy on the internet complaining about others, almost to the point of rudeness

Set the bar kinda high.

and the book was considered "unfilmable" like so many other films of its genre.
I read the novel recently. I have no idea how this subjective interior account by the biologist can become a movie...i will give it a go, especially if vandermeer himself worked on the screenplay, but I expect a different type of experience, maybe not better or worse but certainly much different.
So if it was five guys in combat gear with assault rifles you'd be OK with it?

It's ALL THINGS:
Ghostbusters is male bashing
Star Trek Discovery is all female & Minority (white men are gay or evil)
Road Warrior is 'Furiosa Warrior'
Star Wars is blatant feminist man-hating propaganda
Westworld, again all hero's are female & minority
Dark Matter
The Expanse
And on and on and on forever, apparently. So no, it's not ONE MOVIE. But one more? No, I'm done with this shit.

I'm wondering if it were only a % of women in any size group would he be less DONE?
Or if there had only been ONE guy in the group of five it might have been no big deal?
