Much of mainstream hard core porn passes that test.
Prove it. Offer a way to develop a representative sample of "mainstream hard core porn" and then quantify what "much" actually means as a percentage.
Good luck.
Swedish cinemas take aim at gender bias with Bechdel test rating

Re: Swedish cinemas take aim at gender bias with Bechdel test rating
#32Maybe if feminists (part of the parasitic political class) spent less time being resentful of what others have built and built something themselves they'd have less reason to be resentful in the first place. Now we're living not just with the reactive feminist losers, but the reactive-reactive super-loser MRA types.
Wow, worst of HN award? This is up there with the worst garbage I've read on here. Broad generalizations and extreme sexism. You might as well have said civil rights leaders should have sucked it up and built something themselves. As if that's not what they were doing. Or excellent troll. But out of place - this is for serious discussion.
I glanced through roarroar's comment history and it only seems to appear to be an account for being anti-feminist.

In other words, you ignored the content of my comment and went looking for _dirt_ you could use against me. Bravo, you complete imbecile. And I am anti-egalitarian - feminism is just the current vogue in the tech scene, which is currently degenerating both technically and socially. And your behavior of gossiping about my account is a prime example.
Re: Swedish cinemas take aim at gender bias with Bechdel test rating
#34Having seen both the Swedish and American versions of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo I have to say Sweden is a bit ahead when it comes to gender representation, so they're doing something right somewhere. On the other hand, Harry Potter was written by a self-proclaimed feminist and has a very empowering female in Hermione Granger, if that series fails the Bechdel Test then I'm left wondering how many other false-pos…
It throws a lot of false positive and false negatives; it's not actually useful for any analysis involving rigor. Never use it to make a final judgement call.
But it can serve as a smoke test. Harry Potter, for instance, does have a fairly empowering female in Hermione, but the series itself has a lot of problems, not all of them feminist in nature. Not sure how much spoilering or detail I really ought to go into it here.

The first iteration of what? Total degeneration? How can you "improve" a test designed to enforce slave morality on creative people?
Maybe the downvoters can make an argument. I doubt it, since that is the reason people abuse the downvote button - to shut off an argument they are incapable of understanding.
I didn't down-vote you (and can't), but it may not be that people "are incapable of understanding" you, and instead objecting to your claim that a method for reviewing/appraising one aspect of a film is "designed to enforce slave morality on creative people".
Using less wildly provocative language may be more conducive to a rational discussion.

See, being anti-egalitarian, you should understand this:
You are not worth my time.

Given that your first comment is a hysterical argument labelling your opposing philosophy as 'total degeneration' and 'slave morality', I think most people would be hard-pressed to believe you were actually interested in discussion over soap-boxing. It's reinforced when you call people too stupid to understand you. What possible value can come out of engaging you?

I wouldn't class much of the female-to-female dialogue in hardcore porn as being worthy of the label 'conversation'.

That you think the terms "slave morality" and "total degeneration" are "extreme rhetoric" illustrates that you didn't understand the post. The point of reading is not to find any old interpretation, but to figure out what the poster meant. It's because of these highly superficial readings that the GP is allowed to get away with inserting the assumption that these sort of measures represent improvement, in spite of the fact that at the limit of slave morality is total degeneration.
