Comment on Women Directed Just 16% of 2024's Top 250 Grossing Movies
spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 week agothe concepts of DEI or equity based hiring are entirely absent from the post you are flaming. it’s just reporting the numbers and proposes no solution—it barely even implies judgement on the numbers themselves.
you made up an entire narrative out of straw and are screaming and ranting that it was flammable. super embarrassing not gonna lie.

I’m just speaking my mind. The headline is clearly alluding to an inadequacy in the amount of women hired to direct major motion pictures and TV.
Otherwise, why would it even be mentioned?
Watching Wicked, I thought to myself “this looks like shit! Why is this the case?” Then, I looked up who shot it and looked at her other projects and saw that she was obviously chosen based on her gender. Nothing more. She was also inducted into the ASC after only 10 years of shooting low budget projects. Clearly, she isn’t being promoted based on her skill or experience level. It is ALL artificial. I’m tired of it. By all means, have Ellen Kuras shoot it or some other incredibly talented female DoP, but having Alice Brooks shoot it STINKS of gender nepotism.
Whether you want to shoot the messenger or not, I’m speaking my mind.

sounds like you just have a problem with Alice Brooks. i love Alice Brooks’ work and a lot of other people do too, so sorry but i am gonna cast judgement on you blaming “gender nepotism” instead of saying “eh i don’t prefer Alice Brooks” like a normal person
