Anonymous asked: They're really going to town on Elizabeth Banks for some reason. Is she one of their hate objects?

I am not sure. I think it is because of the racial aspect. She is a “white feminist” and it is not good enough for the posters there.

This comment explains it :

“ She didn’t mean Spielberg she’s cast more roles for women. She meant for white women lol this is such white feminism. She dismissed the color purple bc it was a film of women of color. “

And to add to this.  I don’t find Banks likeable myself.But I see the point she is making, albeit she made it very badly and picked a really bad target. If you want to talk about misogyny in Hollywood you shouldn’t be making Spielberg your target, you should be making Spielberg your ally. 

But you know what. Banks might be a “white feminist” and she might not be good enough, but if she is speaking for your cause, maybe hold your horses a bit with criticism. Don’t let the perfect to be the enemy of the good.  

And I think that is exactly the problem with CB. Unless someone is pitch perfect, they get torn to shreds. And you get to the point where nobody is good enough. And that is very negative and soul destroying.
