"F- On The Bechdel Test": Fans of Fire Island Movie Rally Against Writer Who Claims It's Not Feminist Enough

Twitter got a new main character yesterday. Writer Hanna Rosin went viral for her bad take in this now-deleted tweet.

The movie in question, Fire Island, is a romantic comedy based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice which follows a group of friends traveling to the titular gay vacation destination of Fire Island. Fans of the movie mocked Rosin for her take that a film about Asian gay men needed to pass the Bechdel test to have any merit. 

Some feminist film fans use the Bechdel test to determine whether a movie is woman-focused. This test comes from an early cartoon of lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel, who attributes the rule to a friend of hers and is not something Bechdel herself originated. The criteria for passing the Bechdel test is that a film has two female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. 

Does Fire Island really have such an unsatisfactory representation of women? Is passing the Bechdel test really the end-all-be-all of feminist film analysis? All will be revealed in this list.
