Antifeminist douchenozzles regularly mock feminists for caring about so-called “first world problems” like “manspreading” and rape and systematic gender discrimination. Unlike those trivia-obsessed feminists, those who’ve taken the Red Pill only concern themselves with momentous questions, like the age of a certain fictional spy dude’s onscreen paramour.
On the Red Pill subreddit, the regulars are up in arms over the news that in the upcoming James Bond film Spectre, the main “Bond Girl” will be a woman more or less Bond’s own age, rather than half of it: current Bond Boy Daniel Craig, 47, will be playing opposite 50-year-old hag lady Monica Bellucci.
I know, right?
In a post with 145 upvotes and 178 comments so far, Bea_OProblem reports sadly that Bond — James Bond — will be “paired with [a] post-wall woman,” the hideous uggo Belluci.
Movie executives have got the memo that pandering to alimony laden post-wall consumers is a lucrative cash cow. In this distinctly blue pill universe, the mysterious and suave international spy wants no one other than a 51 year old woman. Because apparently a mature woman is more alluring than a dozen young pert sluts.
Apparently Bea was so horrified by the news that he added a year to Belucci’s age; Google says she’s 50.
Adding insult to injury, Craig told Esquire magazine that he hopes his Bond won’t be “as sexist and misogynistic” as his predecessors in the role. “The world has changed,” he said.
Red Pillers are not taking the news well. After taking a glance at the picture above, one Red Piller reacted as though he’d seen the dead come to life:
Some thought that Bellucci, only three years Craig’s senior, looked less like his love interest than his mom.
Others railed at the manginas who enabled this horrible thing to happen:
To be sure, a few brave souls acknowledged that Ms. Bellucci might not be the ugliest old lady they’d ever seen, but they were still having none of it.
In the real world, for what it’s worth, Daniel Craig is married to 45-year-old actress Rachel Weisz. Because, in the real world, not all men are obsessed with “bedding” women young enough to be their daughters.
Many of the assembled Red Pillers tried to convince their comrades that they personally Would Not Bang Ms. Bellucci, except perhaps in conditions of poor lighting.
Regardless of their personal answer to the WB question, almost all agreed that this was pretty much the end of the world.
I don’t know about you, but Mila Kunis as Rambo sounds kind of awesome to me.
Well that was some petty, sexist bullshit. I’m glad that the Bond franchise is changing it up. Maybe the movies will be watchable now.

(sorry not sorry I couldn’t resist the temptation)
Oh goddamnit.

“When was the last time something inherently female was invaded by men”
Skipping past this idea of a work of fiction being “inherently female” or “inherently male”…
…take one glance at My Little Ponies and then bite my well-fed feminist ass.
I love how they said “IN THE REAL WORLD” James Bond wouldn’t sleep with her…dude…it’s JAMES BOND. NOTHING about him is “real”, including the fact that he hasn’t died in an explosion yet…but sure…it’s the age of his costar that’s unrealistic :-p
The fact that Ms Belluci wouldn;t touch any of these creeps with a bargepole makes their comments even more pitiful and irrelevant.
What I find really amazing about this is that when they talk about things like this, they use phrases like “allow this to happen” in regards to men in the film industry. As if for just a second they almost, almost had the self-awarness to admit that men do dominate in the film industry, but then immediately go back and talk about how women control everything
Does Bea know anything about Bond? They’ll have sex, like, twice, and then the movie will be over and there’ll be another woman in the next one.
Skyfall was kind of unusual in that the sexual relationship didn’t outlast the film.
Gee, when was the last troll infestation on Pandagon, again?
“OMG! A handsome, successful, smooth spy like Bond wouldn’t want anyone who wasn’t a super-hot barely legal slut! So unrealistic!”
But remember, kids, it’s _women_ who are the shallow, status-obsessed ones.
I would SO go see Emma as Indiana, AND Mila as Rambo. I really hope Hollywood sees this and makes it happen.
Wait, Daniel Craig is married to Rachel Weisz?
Forget MRA stupidity for a moment, I want to see a James Bond/The Mummy crossover!
Nasty comments as always, but that last one just makes me laugh. The whole thing is ridiculous, from his unimaginable extreme scenarios that sound perfectly fine (cool even) to his weeping for ‘the future of cinema’.
I didn’t realize the future of cinema hinged on showing older guys having relationships with younger women. I have to admit, that’s not usually in my criteria for choosing films to watch, I must be missing out on some classics.
I’m sorry, I just laughed through this whole thing. Read it to my spouse and he laughed too and wondered where these people get the time to gripe about this stuff and think up weird conspiracy theories. I’m still laughing. Am I a bad person?
I’d totally watch those last two things. 😀
But does she give you a reasonable chub?
That’s all that the law requires.
This news makes me hopeful for the future.
The iconic Bond is behaving like a man his age – no doubt to make him relatable to men his age – and is setting up better standards. A much better role model for men and boys. We’re slowly starting to see women being allowed to age on TV and in movies these days, and still being relevant and individually powerful. It’s heartwarming.
At the same time, every time mass media acknowledges this humanitarian shift it shoves these dipshits further into the corner of irrelevancy. In five, ten years, who knows? I bet that seeing a middle-aged woman in a movie who actually looks middle aged and isn’t treated as a ghost won’t even be noteworthy. And where media goes, so too does culture, given five, ten years.
Thanks for the article, David. It’s brightened my day!
“When was the last time something inherently female was invaded by men and forcefully changed into what we want?” Ummm ChicCEO (sp?) comes to mind
alysonmeirs, my brain went straight to MLP and Bronies*, too. There’s certainly a level of bronie-dom that seems dedicated to ‘stealing’ the series from the original target audience, instead of just enjoying it for what it is.
On-topic, while I really don’t have much interest in Jane Rambo, I’d be totally down with an Emma Stone Indiana Jones, so long as her love-interest backstory wasn’t creepy as hell (for those who still haven’t heard, yet, Indiana and Marion seem to have gotten together originally when she was fifteen and he was in his mid-twenties).
*: There seems to be three broad categories of Bronie-dom. Teen/adult men who have the show on their Netflix queue and enjoy watching it occasionally (guilty!), teen/adult men who participate in standard fan activities like cons, cosplay and fanfiction, but do so respectfully of the original material (not for me, but no weirder than other flavors of fandom that go to this level, many of which I do follow), and the creepy fetishists.

I think I can predict what these guys would think of, say, Idris Elba playing Bond.
Video games also come to mind. Men constantly trying to push women and minorities out of those seems to be a common fucking occurrence.
In fact, there’s a whole fucking “movement” dedicated to harassing women who dare to speak up about it.
Jesus Christ this is a melodramatic response. A good looking older man is portrayed in a relationship with a good looking older woman.
I guess this might be because from a red pill perspective Bond used to be a symbol of everything they wished they could be? But even Then they should have given up in Casino Royale were he is actually happy with the idea of a long term relationship and giving up his spy work.
Something, something, racist slur, something, something, cuckold.
Oh, one other thing–if anything, I’d say Craig is the one a bit long in tooth for the role. In order to be able to do everything Bond does in a typical film, really he should be cast at upper-twenties/lower-thirties (he needs some seasoning to have the world-weariness endemic to the franchise). A man in his upper forties is going to be feeling the effects of aging, even if he’s in top shape.
Though I have to admit, the idea of a Bond who has to stop and pop a Viagra before seducing the latest romantic lead would be a bit amusing.
