They were indeed all those things. But people don't talk like that.
Didn't hurt my opinion of the movie. Just bad dialogue in that moment.
Do you live under a rock? A certain brand of liberal talks like that all the time, especially where I live, on TV, in the news, etc. The line was on-the-nose for sure, but just because a character says something, it doesn't mean the movie endorses it. This version of Selina Kyle would *totally* say something like that, which is why I was fine with it. Matt Reeves is a "privileged" white guy himself, and doesn't seem super political, so I just chalked it up to writing to the perspective of that particular character.
