I mean if this were Storm in a noose, you wouldn't think it was racist? Let's say in the context of the movie he wasn't doing it because she was black. I mean I'm sure in the movie itself the scene isn't sexist. But a movie poster cannot portray the context. This one certainly doesn't, and is in my opinion in poor taste.
I can understand why people might interpret it as being sexist which is what I said. But I'm saying I don't see the poster as being sexist.
If the poster was of storm in a noose and the film is about storm in a noose then I wouldn't think the poster is racist, just a very insensitive choice of public advertisement.
Not to mention how confused id be at a higher level mutant like storm being hung by a noose even when she has the power of flight and could rip the tree from its roots using lightening or hurricane powers.
I agree with the premise that the poster is possibly too violent for public viewing but I think it's sexist to only be offended by this poster because the victim of violence happens to be a woman. That's placing women at a higher level of value than men.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
