Thinking and doing is not the same.

>people who objectify groups of other people

What is the objectification here exactly?

>you do not seem particularly open to criticism either.

Right, and how would you know that? Just make sure you make your opponent look bad and you win the argument - this worked in school, not sure why try to do it here.

You can't know whether you have the moral high ground. That's always an assumption, and I am not making any assumptions about being morally superior to other nations or cultures. No more, no less.

I have answered that extensively in another comment [0]; in short the scene depicted treats women as a prize for the stronger man. This seems pretty obvious to most people commenting on this thread.

> Right, and how would you know that?

Because you started off accusing me of thinking I have the moral high ground over other cultures and nations, and dictating what is right and what is wrong - without knowing anything about me either, on the basis of me pointing out how this animation is sexist.

You didn't pause to consider whether that might have some merit, but instead immediately went to a personal attack. It sure seemed to trigger a reaction in you, and it wasn't reflection.
