MRA Says Chauvinist Cut Not Chauvinist Enough
An aspiring member of the MRA (Men’s Rights Activists) has created a 46-minute fan edit of The Last Jedi that removes toxic femininity from the film, but he’s come under fire from old school chauvinists for misrepresenting his remixed film. According to senior MRA officials, the “Chauvinist Cut” is nowhere near as chauvinistic as it should be.
“This so-called de-feminized edit still has plenty of women in speaking roles, and some of them still do things to move the plot along. To dub it the Chauvinist Cut is a gross overstatement and frankly inaccurate. Rey, Leia and Rose have no business being in this nor do those godforsaken porgs or that feminist ball droid. A true chauvinist version would be entirely alpha male. We shouldn’t see General Hux or Finn. The MRA cannot endorse this limp-wristed neo-chauvinistic buffonery. There is simply no excusing the omission of Kylo Ren’s topless scene. An iconic symbol of alpha male virility, and it’s cut from the chauvinist version?! Let’s not even go into what this soy boy does to Luke… it’s almost as bad as Rian Johnson’s original version.”
The controversial edit was uploaded to torrent sites over the weekend, and immediately sparked controversy. Somehow Last Jedi director Rian Johnson was already tweeting about an article detailing the fan edit a mere hour after the “Chauvinist Cut” first appeared online. The timeliness of Johnson’s reply has led other MRA members to claim this was a bit of false flagging on Disney’s part to drum up news for their film, which has lost its legs at the box office a bit prematurely.
“Either Rian and Kathleen [Kennedy] made this cut themselves or he has no life and just sits on a computer all day waiting to tweet something in hopes a blog will write about about it. Hell, he probably writes the blog posts himself” said an anonymous MRA member.
Senior leaders at the organization are now debating the release of their own De-feminized Edition of the De-feminized Edition, so as to offer an Ultimate Chauvinist Cut that carries their official endorsement and seal of male approval. We can’t help but recall Johnson describing The Last Jedi as weird, but the fan edits of his film are taking it to all-new levels.
