I feel like the people defending Captain Marvel should be more upset with how hamfisted its attempts at pandering are. Like playing “I’m just a girl” or having someone literally tell her to smile more followd by her saying “did you just ask me to smile more?”
Representation is important, but you have to put in some effort.
Honestly I am sad that telling people to smile more has become a cultural faux pas, I would like to be able to tell everyone to smile more if not for ourselves than for each other.
I told you, if people smiles just cause they’re told to I won’t be happy seeing them smile cause it may be fake. If everyone fakes being happy whats the point? Fix the problem instead (if it’s possible, if not then bad luck, we can’t be happy everyday). And don’t lecture me on empathy, you’re the one who doesn’t acknowledge people might get rightfully upset when being told to ignore their feelings and fake happiness. It’s called oversimplifying things. They’re smiling? They’re happy! Bruh.
Do you see a flashy video and don’t care if it’s AI or not cause who needs reality anyways? If I want fake videos I’ll go watch a movie. If I want fake smiles I’ll go for some theatre.

Gotta take up the art of mime. The art of mime makes people smile. Some when I arrive, others when I leave.
Smiles are earned, not gifted, fake smiles hold no value and make it harder to recognize genuine happiness.
It’s fine for people to experience neutral and negative emotions, pretending to be happy doesnt improve anything.
Maybe you should frown more instead.
Seeing other people happy makes us happy
Seeing other people sad makes us sad
It’s called empathy, but I can understand it’s a foreign concept to a lot of people on here.

Lol okay mr human lie detector. Go back to solving crimes with your chimpanzee sidekick.

A good alternative is to find ways to make people smile instead :)
Fuck you. Don’t tell people to smile more; give them a reason to smile! Tell a joke! Be genuinely kind!
