I think ppl need to stop dismissing films like âcrazy rich asiansâ and âto all the boys I loved beforeâ as âcool for representation but just rom com fluff.â
Because like damn guys, sometimes I just donât wanna deal with super deep narratives about identity and misogyny. Sometimes I just canât handle the secondary trauma of movies like the joy luck club and maos last dancer. Sometimes I just need to escape into a happy place of light humor and hot people. And sometimes I want that happy place to show ppl who look like me.
Donât knock escapism representation yâall.
Ppl are asking if itâs ok for white ppl to reblog
Answer: yes.
Would rather yâall reblog than speak over .
i legitimately and in all seriousness think harold and kumar go to white castle is a revolutionary film expressly because its a mediocre stoner film that happens to star two asian dudes
we deserve to have mediocre stoner films as much as the next group
Tbh Harold and Kumar is about two Asian broâs fighting simultaneously against white toxic masculinity stereotypes and also a commentary on the problematic nature of model minority culture in America under the guise of just likeâŠreally loving weed, man.
Also launched the careers of two men who wouldnât have gotten callbacks otherwise (not to mention Kalâs political activism !) So likeâŠyeah.
Comedy âGOOD COMEDYâis subversive !
