Guaranteed there would be a much bigger meltdown about it being pro-trans than anti. Conservatives are the most easily offended clowns out there.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

MODERATORS
just call them fascists at this point, tbh. christian democrats, rockefeller reps, one nation tories, those are the real conservatives
fascists complain about others being snowflakes but when they get criticism they yell fire.
I'm pretty sure they had bisexuality in the '60s.
nah bro, it was invented on tumblr in the year of our trans Jesus, 2015.
If you go back and watch the Sean Connery Bond films they were satirizing, Austin Powers was a much better person than James Bond. Better agent, too. Bond kinda sucked.
Also, those Bond films were thirty years before Austin Powers. If you wanted to make a similar movie today, you'd have to be satirizing Austin Powers. Maybe that could work, a meta-satiricial send-up of 90's and early 00's satirical movies. Maybe even the last third of the film gets ironically nostalgic for the first third of the same film. "Remember when we did that pre-opening action sequence?
It wouldn't be satirizing Austin Powers; it'd be satirizing Pierce Brosnan's Bond.
I was gonna say I’d watch that movie but it wouldn’t compare to my imagination so I’m just gonna thank you for the movie I just imagined.
For all of Austin Powers being a horn dog; he does understand the concept of consent.
In the first movie where the love interest gets drunk and tried to sleep with Austin. Austin tells her no, it wouldn’t be cool.
Also Austin was totally fine with interracial dating.
Austin understanding consent was his character development in the first film. At the beginning of the film he did not; he was shown to be rambunctiously jumping on his partner despite her giving clear negative signals. He learns consent throughout the course of the film.
Thus, a good modernization would be for him to discover the importance of trans rights and respecting genders that do not align with those assigned at birth, over time. He would need to be misguided in the beginning and make some mistakes.
He was also very casual with sex, like he did drop a mention somewhere in the movies that, like under the sheets, he might have blown a dude. I can't remember the specific reference tho.
If you're gonna do it though, you need to pick some new reference material.
I'd go with a Pierce Brosnan 007 maybe, early 2000s, and then throw in some Tom Cruise mission impossible, maybe the odd Matrix reference. Main character spends all of their time looking cool and moody and never actually does anything while still somehow singlehandedly solving all of the problems, stuff like that.
Austin Powers does Singapore.
