I've read all of these articles. None of them are legitimate. Do you know why ? Because ''they all ignore the fact that Daisy is part of her brother's murderous gang of outlaws, that she has a bounty like every single one of them, that she honestly doesn't seem to mind the murder of multiple innocents for her own freedom, that she threatens the slaughter of an entire town for the same goal, and that she's (gleefully) complicit in the vicious murder of O.B, who had litterally nothing to do with the violence she's a victim of in the movie.'' They're in bad faith. They ignore elements that are spelled loud and clear in the movie. They mistake depicting something for endorsing it. Daisy doesn't get elbowed in the face for simply being a

I\'ve read all of these articles. None of them are legitimate. Do you know why ? Because \'\'they all ignore the fact that Daisy is part of her brother\'s murderous gang of outlaws, that she has a bounty like every single one of them, that she honestly doesn\'t seem to mind the murder of multiple innocents for her own freedom, that she threatens the slaughter of an entire town for the same goal, and that she\'s (gleefully) complicit in the vicious murder of O.B, who had litterally nothing to do with the violence she\'s a victim of in the movie.\'\' They\'re in bad faith. They ignore elements that are spelled loud and clear in the movie. They mistake depicting something for endorsing it. Daisy doesn\'t get elbowed in the face for simply being a \"strong\" woman. She gets elbowed in the face because she responds to John Ruth\'s attempts at being a little softer in his treatment by spitting on them. Over the top ? Yes. Mysoginistic ? Absolutely not.

They seem to believe that Daisy\'s death is crueller than everyone else\'s in the movie - do you really think that getting shot in the groin then bleeding out over the next half-hour or so is less cruel than being hanged ?

Also: interviews with Jennifer Jason Leigh don\'t present an \"alternative\" view on Daisy. They simply elaborate on her character - note that JJL never once tried to pretend that Daisy\'s not evil. She calls her a \"murderess\", for god\'s sake.
