Pathetic

ביקורת נהדרת על אוואטר (אאוועטאר? זעאתר?) בTHEAWL:

"He will also take the “best” woman, the noblest, the highest born, the smartest, whose token resistance will dwindle its sorry way from faux-contempt to near-drooling adoration in a matter of days. Her former man will die, and her father will, too; her whole civilization will lie in ruins. She will pretty much get down on her knees to thank this white man, anyway (see Klaus Theweleit’s Male Fantasies for a gruesome but believable explanation of the underpinnings of that whole business).

Notice how nobody—not the Marines, not the brilliant scientist, not the wise blue natives—can make a single successful move without this white guy. They are all completely powerless and vulnerable until he comes along with his fake self-deprecation and his blunt, forceful manner and his great big muscles. Pathetic. I can’t believe more people aren’t all grossed out, here."

עדכון:

הביקורת הזו על אוועטער היא קריאת חובה:

"It is everything that it believes that it is not."
