Review of Chi-Raq (2015) by Lancedance2 — 14 Dec 2015

Regarding Behuman's review, the movie was terrible, but Jesus Christ I hope you're a troll. Gang violence is caused by "hyper-masculinity"? You expected the "examining the gender norms that enable male violence"? Are you seriously this uneducated about what's going on? First of all, we'd still be living in the stone age if it weren't for that Masculinity you are crying about. Second, when did "gender norms" ever dictate that it's OK for men to murder people? I'm pretty sure murder is highly discouraged in society. And if you want to talk about rap music, I can point out tons of female rappers who glorify violence, and not that I even think there is an issue with that, that kind of rap came as a result of the violence, it did not cause the violence. Third we know why violence is so rampant in these communities, it's because of poverty broken homes, lack of education, lack of job opportunities, drugs, and gang culture that all play a factor into the violence. They didn't talk about "gender norms" because it literally has NOTHING to do with the violence. I mean this is something that's been known for a very long time, you have to be a troll, you can't be this ignorant. Fourth, lesbians, gays, and transgenders aren't in the film because the plot of the movie isn't about them. Why wasn't there crippled people to, autistic people, or people who believe they're dogs? The film is trying to push a message and doesn't have time to meet your absurd equality quota.

It's clear you must hate black people because you are really pushing hard to keep the attention away from the actual causes of violence and crime and instead, you try to focus it on absurd nonsensical issues. Something tells me that your issue with masculinity isn't because of any violence you believe it causes, but more about your hatred for men in general. It assumes that if men don't act like women then they are doing something wrong, completely ignoring the fact that men and women are different all the way to the their instinct. I don't know what turned you against men, but taking that out by hindering attempts to solve serious issues is HIGHLY inappropriate.
