This is a link post Stop using Ellen Ripley as an example of "childless cat ladies" I made this!
I don't know why I care enough to start a petition. I mean the whole Newt story arc only hits if you know that she left her daughter behind never to see her again due to the cryosleep times required to do space travel

I've literally never heard of Ellen Ripley being referred to as a childless cat lady. Not once.

I'm surprised the change.org lot haven't binned it yet.

This is a normal post I disagree, it's a strong story arc even without the additional context in the director's cut.
And her daughter is never mentioned in any of the other films, whereas Jones was an integral character in Alien.

This is a normal post Didn’t she get preggers with an alien baby in one of the many forgettable sequels?
I could be wrong. Like terminator, rocky and Star Wars they rode those franchises into the sewer

This is a normal post The space travel in Alien was only meant to last a few months each way, discovering the alien stretched the return trip to 10 months.
In Aliens she's told that she's been under for 57 years but that appears to be a plot point to allow for the planet to have been terraformed and populated and for any warning to have been forgotten/downplayed/ignored.

Ripley being under for 57 years doesn't equate to it taking 57 years to reach the planet.

This is a normal post I'd sign if the petition title stopped at Ripley.
She was the last survivor in a horror film by chance, and, by chance, was a main protagonist in the action sequel, and, by chance, was an anti-hero in the stylistically confused horror sequel IN WHICH SHE FUCKING DIED.

This is a normal post You got me wondering if any
change.org petition has ever made a difference.

Turns out it once stopped a dog from being put down for killing a duck, so that's something.
