Minx Episode 6 Ending: Why Do Students Protest Against Minx?

When a Bible study group comes upon the magazine copies, Glenn’s attempt to promote Minx’s popularity among college students backfires. They initiate a demonstration against the magazine because it publishes articles that are anti-Catholic and anti-Christian in general. Joyce’s paper on the need for birth control pills appears to enrage the study group, who may believe that life can only be created and terminated by God’s involvement. The demonstration also prompts the University administration to take action against Minx on campus, prompting the Civil Liberty Association to intercede.

By the time Minx has become a raging controversy among the students, a group of feminists has intensified the protest. They see Joyce and the others behind Minx as imposters attempting to seize control of the feminist movement. The feminist group raises anti-Minx slogans, saying that the publication is a tool for its publishers to profit by aligning itself with the cause of feminism. As a protest against feminism being limited to porn for women, they make a pile of Minx’s copies.

The demonstrators fail to grasp how Minx provides an easily accessible dimension of feminism to the wider public, which contrasts with the protesters’ feminist-yet-unrealistic views of feminism, which are constrained to four walls and small groups. They also fail to see how erotica can be used to communicate feminist ideas, prompting them to condemn the publication.

Does Doug Set the Heap of Minx’s Copies Afire? Why?

Doug does, in fact, set fire to Minx’s copies. Doug notices the protest and knows that he can use it to improve Minx’s circulation. Rather than attempting to end the protest, he attempts to intensify it by setting the copies on fire. Doug understands that any publicity is good PR for a businessman. He sees the demonstration as a low-cost means to publicize Minx’s presence, and he uses the fire to urge the students to broaden the protest’s scope. Doug wants the world to know that Minx exists, and the protesters accidentally fulfill his request.

Doug, as a successful publisher, understands that his readers will not abandon his publication simply because a group of students objected to it. He also recognizes that the protest will pique the public’s interest in trying out the magazine, resulting in an increase in his business and the magazine’s popularity.
