Three sentences in, and LITERALLY MURDERING TRANS is already thrown out there.

Amazon's new show Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, which premiered Friday, is receiving backlash for using a transphobic slur in a joke about trans people.


In the episode, a drone operator is mocked by his partner for getting a black eye. "Did you accidentally pick up another tranny on Fremont Street?" the character taunts.


The first to draw attention to the slur was activist Eliel Cruz, who tweeted to the show, noting that trans women Dejanay L. Stanton and Vontashia Bell were murdered that week.

Spoiler

Others used the moment to also highlight how Jack Ryan reinforces toxic masculinity and has devastatingly poor representation of women. The show does not pass the Bechdel test. There are two female characters: Jack's love interest, Cathy, and his nemesis Suleiman's wife, Hani. The two exist only in relation to men, and even when they have scenes including other women, they talk exclusively about their male partners.

Instead, the thriller centers on Jack Ryan, a white straight man who continuually knows better than all the more qualified people of color around him. It also includes a woman being shot and two attempted rapes, without meaningfully addressing violence against women.

Also, in the CIA, none of Jack's female colleagues wield any power. Instead, he uses one who has a crush on him to break rules, and he gossips about another coworker's crush on a man.

Regarding the accusations of transphobia, viewers are holding John Krasinski personally accountable and are looking for answers.


Hey @johnkrasinski wanna comment on this since you're the face of this show that uses transphobic language and implies violence against a trans person?

I'd also like to know, @johnkrasinski. You're an EP on the show too, so it's not like you can claim to just be the talent.

Really disappointed. I was anticipating “Jack Ryan” for a while yet will not support anti-LGBTQ/sexist/racist/any -ist slurs. As a fan of yours and Emily’s, I didn’t expect this from you. Do better.https://t.co/n9wPfUkSzu

If you haven't seen it yet, there is a scene in the new Amazon Prime *Jack Ryan* in which a French woman detective riffs at the protagonist on how "uptight" some American women are about men asking for dates. No wonder reviewers are already complaining the show is "problematic".

Krasinski and Amazon have yet to comment on the controversy.

Now I know what I'm watching this weekend

I get the feeling these people would complain about anti-semitism in a movie about WW2 nazis by pointing out that the gas-chamber operators clearly used slurs to refer to the jews.

Either way, these controversies remind me of the saying "Tempest in a teapot", though Rich Evans gave us the beatiful term "Nontroversy", too, to describe this nonsense.

I especially hate people who take the Bechdel Test seriously, you could just as well call it the "Do the supporting characters have any kind of function in the movie?" Test, since all it does is evaluating whether two characters have pointless smalltalk that relates to nothing in the plot or not.
Why should a show waste time by showing us two characters talk about something that doesn't move the plot (about some guys) forward unless it's a show made by Tarantino? These characters are called supporting characters for a reason, they flesh out the protagonist, his backstory or his personality and it has literally nothing to do with any kind of feminism whatsoever.
When "2girls1cup" almost passes your awesome quality control mechanism for feminism in movies, you know it's fucking worthless.

it's too bad we dont have prime anymore. i'd have watched this if i had known this would be in it

Military humor is to humor what Military music is to music. Wake up, smell the napalm.

If soldiers were shooting the shit at each other in a progressive and focus tested way it would be stupendously unbelievable. Can confirm having conversations just like this while pulling 12 hours in a tower watching Abduls wife plow his field. (Did you know Arab men make their women work the fields while they smoke has and drink chai? So progressive!)

I've watched the first couple episodes.

It's pretty good. I keep waiting for Jack Ryan to look at the camera while hiding behind a door with a gun and doing the "Shhh" sign.

 

[Positron]

Name me ONE non-retarded person who takes the "Bechdel test" seriously.

 

[January Cyst]

Jack Ryan is one of the few series that I've actually enjoyed in the last few years and it doesn't seem to have to obligatory gay/tranny token storyline that is present in pretty much every single series these days.

It doesn't even work in media about women. One of my favorite examples is Bayonetta, a game that many SJWs hate for its highly sexualized main character, but it passes the Bechdel Test with flying colors.

 

[Syaoran Li]

I hate to state the obvious, but the Bechdel Test is utterly meaningless bullshit.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

Started watching it with my wife, we both enjoy it.

Just for shits and giggles I decided to look and see what the mentally ill SJWs were saying (as if I didn’t already know) and came across this article immediately.

Jack Ryan Is a Patriotic Nightmare
Watching this show feels like falling down a Fox News rabbit hole.

So trite and written by an Asian woman no less.

 

[Denmark Mafia]

REEera found a bunch of other reasons to hate it as well. Surprised they haven't picked up on the "blatant transphobia" yet because we all know the staff is 90% troons.

Does anyone actually believe this?

I get the feeling these people would complain about anti-semitism in a movie about WW2 nazis by pointing out that the gas-chamber operators clearly used slurs to refer to the jews.

Actually, that happened.
Back in 2014, there was a tumblr of some SJW who had found Schindler's list to be offensive because in of the scene were the SS kommandant jokes about a Jewish girl being an "educated Jew, like Karl Marx himself".
Said SJW could not also bring herself to watch the whole movie because the scenes of the executions were "triggering".

 

[Cubanodun]

This thing reek of clickbait first of all they did no do research because they forgot Jack Ryan was originally envisioned and created during the cold war where SJW where not a thing

Second they have not bitched about their other appearences because if they already forgot THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE APPEARS ON A MOVIE/TV (The sum of all fears, clear and present danger,the hunt for red October,shadow operative, Patriot games) so how convenient that they saw him on Amazon prime and had to bitch about that series, now bitch about how Harrison Ford is portrayed as a badass family man or worship Ben Affleck for stopping a nuclear war by just talking to Russia via IRC

I have been a fanboy of Tom Clancy since i read Rainbow Six after I played the Vidya shame that did not manage to get his lastest books because Chavez silently banned all that could put America in a good light to the point that Captain America the first avenger came late because he refused to let cinemas show it on screen

And stop calling it a controversy is just a bunch of mentally ills idiots that need to be mad at things for money , the show is good and that is all what Amazon need to know

 

[frozenrunner]

I'm more offended that I'm supposed to take that guy from The Office seriously as a secret agent.

I mean he's my hero for snagging Emily Blunt, but he's a hell of a downgrade from Cruise and Pine.

But if the troons and soy-consumers are upset, it can't be that bad.

 

[drtoboggan]

Nobody takes troons seriously anyway.

 

[Cubanodun]

This is the person that throw the first shot

Yeah....

Also check the tweets that they posted, only the one that begun all of this got some kind of attention (like 2000 rt) then the others barely got to 100 "controversy" my ass

Edit: the commentaries in the website are pure insanity and also INFIGHTING!

So much for "inclusion" imarite?

 

[Haramburger]

• Tom Clancy military intrigue & espionage
• things women & troons find entertaining

Pick One.

 

[Secret Asshole]

And the LGTBBQ movement wonders why people are fucking sick and tired of them.

The Bechdel Test was a comic strip and never meant to be taken seriously. Also, that's how you know your ideology is accurate: You take a comic strip seriously.
