I've just gotten around to watch it, and while the storyline was a bit to complex for my tastes, I found myself enraptured by the AI character names Joi.

Here are articles decrying it as sexist:

You’ll love the new ‘Blade Runner’ — unless you’re a woman

If you have two X chromosomes, or know and like someone who does, “Blade Runner 2049” may not be the movie for you. Female characters get the short end of the stick in this long-awaited dystopian s…

Is Blade Runner 2049 sexist – or a fair depiction of a dystopian future?

The reboot’s multitude of female characters at first show promise, but this dystopic depiction of women could be considered progress in itself

Here's a new Joi (the old Joi had terminated) making her acquaintance with the main character (Ryan Gosling):

You look lonely; I can fix that. You look like a Good Joe.

I am surprized that you of all people would make a thread like that, especially as a self proclaimed escortceller! You met a feminist woman? This is different from the usual thirsty incel like threads you normally make.

I liked the movie a lot. Didn’t think of it as sexist. Never entered my mind

The issue is incels buying sex robots and toys or visiting prostitutes as depicted in the movie. Just imagine the main character is an incel. He has his own AI virtual girlfriend that can synch with a prostitute. Same thing happened in the movie Her (2013). If too many guys are left out of the dating market because them there is going to be a market for tech to substitute women. Heck even non incels who hate the nature of women and cant stand drama and bs would consider this.

Its all about what is depicted and what subliminal messages and signalling it has. Women crying sexist are hypocrites because they benefit from an unfair dating market and are the cause of these things in the first place.

Any movie where female characters are not depicted as butch, ass-kicking amazons who don't conform to "gender stereotypes" is considered sexist these days.
