Cancel Culture Exists For Guy Ritchie

Guy Ritchie has been named as being in need of cancellation by a censorious mob. His crime? To tell a story based on a real World War II commando mission, carried out by men, attacking other men, during a war that was held 78 years before women were allowed to apply for front-line service, and not having enough female characters in it.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare stars Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Henry Golding, and Til Schweiger. It tells a fictionalized version of the events surrounding Operation Postmaster, when a team of British commandos was sent to sabotage Nazi U-boats during the Second World War.

This British special operation happened and was conducted on the Spanish island of Fernando Po, now known as Bioko, off West Africa in the Gulf of Guinea, during WWII. It was led by Gus March-Phillipps, played by Henry Cavill in the movie, who has long been speculated to have been an inspiration for Ian Fleming’s James Bond.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare also stars the exquisite Eiza González as Marjorie Stewart, a female spy thrust into the action. Despite the fact she is a strong independent woman, and her actions save the mission on more than one occasion, this is not enough for the mob.

The fact there is only one main female character in this new movie has triggered them.

They also go on to say that Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and The Gentlemen also have the same issues.

Strap in, dear Outposter, as we dive deep into some X-based idiocy.

For the record, we don’t think he hates women, but given a few hours of this mewling we could forgive him if he did. But wait, there’s more:

I would say “Imagine have nothing better to do with your time!” but, then again, I spend over an hour a day writing about movies to give Outposters something to argue about in the Disqus so I can’t really comment. But still, imagine it? What a pitiful existence it must be, wandering through life with this kind of outlook.

At least some common sense still exists out there, and one X-user wasn’t afraid to use it:

Using reason and logic? You get out of here with your pesky XY chromosomes!

This next one sets our Sarcasm Sense tingling:

Personally, I blame the patriarchy.
