Because 1. some people aren't happy unless they're offended/outraged, 2. they think that virtue signalling will help them in our culture (and it unfortunately does), 3. expressing their outrage becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as others who may not have even noticed are infected with the outrage themselves, and 4. they have no connection to these characters as characters, nor know anything about them outside of the films, if that. Plus, most of the management in Hollywood is incredibly stupid, and Victoria Alonso is no exception.

Amazing that "Men In Black" has survived, huh...?

1984 wasn't meant to be an instruction manual.

Well. Tessa Thompson has already been complaining that she thinks it should not be called Men in Black, it should be Humans in Black, lmfao, so there goes that one Rock ;-)

QUOTE "it's funny people keep calling it The X-Men, there's a lot of female characters in that group, so I think it's outdated"

X-girlfriend : former girlfriend

X-Men : former men

Therefore, all X-Men are women.

Very binary presumptuous of you. To the camps, 10 years.

You seem to be saying that I can't identify as someone who considers all X-Men to be women, so I'll serve my term in the camps when they decide to release you.

What's funny is she could have actually had a valid point since I believe this is the first Men in Black with a female in a lead role and part of the [insert the Men in Black's governing body's name here, its Friday, I'm not looking it up, sue me].  So an argument could be made that a tweak was in order.  But Humans in Black just sounds moronic.

For bonus outrage -- anyone using the term "woke" in its hipster definition form should be beaten with a sack of sweet Valencia oranges.  "bae" also goes on that list.

Your accuracy levels are over 9000.

Complaining about complaining is the new complaining.

When it comes to Star Trek nerds, I’m definitely up there and I was still good with the change, “Where no man has gone before” to “No one.” 

But X-Men? Nope. Anyway they would never change it. It’s a solid brand like IHOP.

one was a marketing campaign.

IHOP reveals the mystery of IHOb

The other totally disregards the history of a comic book series and its backstory.

What about complaining about complaining about complaining?

Or complaining about that complaining?
