I'll be perfectly blunt in saying that I understand the gripes here, but I really don't think that it has a true effect on the majority of people. We're talking about a small population of the internet, regardless of how much noise it seems to be causing.

The fact that the author of the article had to mention that Mystique is naked is really irrelevant here. It's no more revealing than any skintight bodysuit that Black Widow wears in the Avengers movies. And no, I'm not going to go searching up and down feminist websites to find something that disproves that.

Of course going to a feminist slanted site will have an anti poster angle, but I'm still convinced that most people have already decided that they were going to see it or not well before the controversy. Personally, I don't care for the X-Men movies, not enough to see them in theatres at least.

The poster was probably not the smartest of scenes to put on a poster, but it's not worth all of the controversy and complaining. I guarantee that after watching the movie, nobody will have a gripe about that scene, entirely due to the fact that Mystique probably kicks as much, if not more bad guy ass than any of the male characters. Except Wolverine, because chicks go full sploosh when Hugh Jackman pops his shirt off. But that's ok
