Maybe the movie you liked has a trans character or female hero and got review bombed
Well when the character makes sense or it really doesn't matter, it works. But when it's shoehorned in and there is that one scene where they tell their backstory or explain their identity and it's out of the blue and takes you out of the story at hand it's bad and really ruins the movie.
I think you're being downvoted for this because, even if it's a good point in isolation, it's in the direction of "trans person bad", and thus indistinguishable from a transphobe adopting the point without believing it. You gotta include a few instances of "_____ did it really well. We need more like that." to balance it out.
The problem is that it isn't a good point in isolation, it's a point uttered only by people who are bothered by the presence of queer characters
Sorry my fist sentence was meant to be a positive one. ST Discovery did it well with the Trill, Trell? Character.
Also USA Shameless had a character that flowed well with the story line.
