Why is there a woman among the cast?


I think this a legitimate question to ask? The Jackass crew has always been comprised of stuntMEN. I guarantee you the audience for the movie this weekend will be almost entirely male and it's stupid to think a woman among the cast is a good idea.

reply

Well, why not? She (Rachel Wolfson) did those jobs very good!

reply

She was pointless and hardly present. She got main billing as a cast member, but did less than many guest appearances.

reply

Less that made the final cut. She did lots more and those will probably be included in 4.5

Why is there a woman among the cast?


Fairly certain that women were always part of the cast

reply

The only woman in the first three movies was Bam's Mom April.

reply

There were several young women in the CKY movies.

reply

yeah jumping around naked on trampoline

reply

That was one, in one scene. Have you seen them? They are on youtube.

reply

yea i like cky a lot i seen em all but gotta rewatch them

reply

FUCK YOU!

reply

I think it's a fair question. The Jackass crew has always been guys. What makes everything men do collectively as a group so offensive that women think they have a right to invade our space just because they think we have no right to anything to call our own anymore? So many things in pop culture have been destroyed due to this kind of sexism. That's why gatekeeping is so important.

I am confused if this is a satirical comment sir.

reply

This guy is an incel, if you read some of his posts it becomes obvious.

reply

Thrilled to see romance isn't dead!

reply

Women can be psychopath just like male persons.

reply

I thought the new girl was good but she only does a few stunts. Plus it’s unfair there are several shots of dicks and balls of the other guys, but we never see her vagina

reply

You realize they added her as a token woman, right? They've been criticized as being "masculinist". They're just trying to head off a negative woke reaction.

reply

They've been criticized as being masculinist? By who?

reply

Jackass? They're seen as being crude and lowbrow and appealing to a mostly male audience. It's slapstick. It's rather obvious the token female was thrown in to appeal to women.

reply

Jackass is never going to appeal to women, are you serious? How would adding a chick to that show make a woman want to watch it?

reply

Make up your mind. First you say it's not criticized as masculinist. Then you say it's never gonna appeal to women. That's my point.

The producers know they will be accused of gender bias so they added one woman. Not rocket science. Does she get hit in the groin with a hockey puck? Doubt it.

reply

My point is, who is criticizing Jackass of not including women? Who?

reply

What, you want an academic source? Lol.

I've been reading it allover internet message boards talking about this movie that Jack ass is a crude boy's club. You yourself said "Jackass is never going to appeal to women". It's common perception.

Does the word "masculinist" bother you? Lets just say it has an overwhelmingly male audience.

reply

I'm asking who cares that it's masculinist or all about males or whatever. The same thing I've asked the last two times. Who is this that's complaining so they had to add a woman for some reason?

reply

Strawman.

You don't see a problem with an all male cast in a movie? Do you see a problem with an all white cast? You know damn well there are objections in this society when woman are excluded.

You want a list of everyone who cares? Lol. You know damn well it's not acceptable.

reply

An all male cast of people doing stupid stunts and hitting each other in the nuts? I 'would' actually like you to find me ONE person who complained about it being an all male cast.

reply

No you wouldn't, you're being disingenuous. You are looking for some type of gotcha moment and will dismiss any actual examples given to you

reply

It's easy for you to say this without putting any effort into answering my question.

reply

I don't need to answer your question, I never made the claim, I'm simply pointing out exactly how you've acted in other encounters

reply

That's totally false, nice try jerk.

reply

No it's entirely true, twat

reply

ZERO evidence as usual.

reply

Correct, ZERO evidence for you to handwave away and ZERO time wasted for me

reply

At least you know that it would be a waste of time.

You lied and said that I behave a certain way in other encounters when you have my ENTIRE posting history, go ahead and waste time trying to look for an example of me doing that.

reply

"You lied and said that I behave a certain way in other encounters"

Do you have any academic studies to support that claim?

reply

Lol.

reply

So you're just not going to answer me? Could you find a person that complained about the all male cast of Jackass?

reply

Miyagido gave you my answer:

"No you wouldn't, you're being disingenuous. You are looking for some type of gotcha moment and will dismiss any actual examples given to you"

I'm not googling anything for you. Refute my point on its merits or fuck off.

You want an expert, I got your expert right here. *grabs crotch*

reply

Did you not read my response?!!! I have never done that, ever. I dare you to find one time I've done that in my posting history, you won't find it.

I knew that you'd use Miyagido as a cop out. He's a well known TROLL, hell, you're probably him. What a jerk.

reply

Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're not trolling.

This is a fucking message board where posters argue ideas. Every goddamn comment does not have to backed up with footnotes and links.

You do not think there has been criticism by groups who want inclusion of minorities and women in previously all white all male venues?

That's all I'm saying here. Just argue on that basis. I'm saying Jack Ass has been an all white all male club for years. You know I'm right. If I'm not, prove me wrong.

reply

I never asked for a footnote all I wanted was for you to back up what you said with ANY evidence . . .like annnyyyy at all. I never disagreed with you that it WASN'T an all male club! Jesus Christ dude.

"You realize they added her as a token woman, right? The producers know they will be accused of gender bias so they added one woman. They're just trying to head off a negative woke reaction."

That's what you said.

All I have been asking is who is criticizing Jackass of not including women? Who are these woke people that you think would go after them for being all male?

Do you think women are upset about it? or do you think some guy was the one who came up with the idea to add a woman because he thought it was too masculine?

reply

lmao, it's just so typical nowadays, where people will just create invisible enemies on the internet to have something to blame. Both sides of the political spectrum does it.

I have absolutely never heard, in the last couple of decades, offline or online, a single person complaining that Jackass is masculinist because the main cast is predominantly male.

That's not to say such people don't exist but lol, I agree. This is just an absurd generalization to imagine that there exists a contingent of people who feel that way.

reply

You said it for sure, both sides of the political spectrum does this sort of baiting hatred game. Trying to make people feel oppressed and like they are being persecuted when they aren't.

Everything's a lie anymore. Everything you hear, everything you see. So much garbage to spew out. They just keep coming, one after another. Trying to make us hate each other, turn against each other. So tired of it.

reply

How very dare you accuse me of being a well known troll! No one knows who I am!

reply

They're just trying to head off a negative woke reaction.
when has that ever happened?

all the woke related bitching is 100% from the other side :
ie: "I dont want no women or blacks on my TV!"

reply

That is absolute nonsense, and you know it.

reply

Jackass does not have a stellar reputation. Lol. It's generally dismissed as quite low brow. And no, I'm not linking anything. It's just common sense.

reply

They got old and mellowed out. Shame. Boys clubs should always be boys clubs, but I guess there are always exceptions.

reply

She's cute to look at, so I didn't mind, but it does come across as strange. Women are privileged in society to the extent that if you pulled most of the same stunts and general horsing around to one of them, it would come across as cruel.

Can you imagine randomly kicking a woman in the crotch? Or the prank with the razor where they sneak up on people and mess up their hair? If you did half of this stuff to a woman, people wouldn't find it funny.

The only stunts she was involved in were tame. So yeah, I'd say token inclusion. But a harmless one.
