I'm usually as anti-SJW as they come, but in the case of this particular movie, I feel i've got to defend it here.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, I saw it at an advanced screening in the UK last night.
1). But in the context of the relationship between Charlie (the girl) and Bumblebee, it works better having a girl than a guy. In the movie shes just turned 18 years old, and the early relationship she has with Bumblebee and throughout the movie, is not one I can see an 18 year old guy having. She has a similar relationship that Eliot did with ET, but of course Eliot was significantly younger, but when guys get to a certain age, they don't act like they want to, they act like they want people to see them, and part of the success of Bumblebee is the relationship and how it works between Charlie and Bumblebee.
2). The "boyfriend" was more comic relief than anything else and spoiler alert: didn't get to really be the boyfriend the entire movie.
3). You actually don't realise how wrong you are on this point, but it would be a spoiler for me to tell you. Suffice to say the trailers do a good job diverting your attention away.

This is how you know how SJWism has become Poe's Law.
I originally made this post as a joke to see what would happen. Society is fucked.

Yeah you say that without acknowledging that many posts exist like this on this site that are 100% meaning what they wrote.
Your example doesn't work however for this movie, this is no Doctor Who.

Think he failed in his joke or that it was sarcasm in its lowest form. Even worse if he intended it to be some lame social experiment. Good to know it wasn't SJW from your screening even though I never took the movie as such to begin with from the trailers shown.
