Seeing how Gooseworx explicitly told us in the movie's credits to not say anything until it releases digitally...

...let's respect that, okay y'all?

also sorry i’m so tired of people acting like they can have nothing in common with someone a few years older or younger than them. have you never had coworkers who aren’t your exact age. have you never taken an art class with someone thirty years older than you. have you never had a friend. like did covid fry everyone’s brains this badly

hardleywhelmed

Tbf I think this is an online exclusive thing. Most people mh agree have coworkers older than them

#also my gf is eight years older than me lmao #we're like the same person lmao

writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.

mars-hollow

reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."

It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is

"The Hateful Image of You is a community building thing for us though." "We felt so safe in The Hateful Image of You it let us explore ourselves." "The Hateful Image of You inspired women to join imperialist government organizations." "Honestly I dont even care how you feel about The Hateful Image of You it doesn't matter that nobody acknowledges the affect it has on You." "I have personally helped facilitate dozens of productions of The Hateful Image of You its not amazing its just a movie."

Silence of the Lambs, Ace Ventura, RHPS, Sleepaway Camp, Longlegs, Psycho, the list goes on and on and on and The Hateful Image of You lives on in the hearts of everyone around us and TME people expect us to just, not care? Is it so hard to empathize with a trans woman for one minute that they can't even conceive of having The Hateful Image of You depicting yourself in a warped portrait with blood smeared on it and how it makes us feel? Especially that its a beloved community gathering thing to take part in The Hateful Image of You? That The Hateful Image of You unites everyone else in enjoying it? That the sharing of it perpetuates its renewal over and over again?

Nah, I'mma be a loud pissed off tranny about it. The least I can do to fight what kills so many of us before we can even be ourselves is shit on every one of these shitty fucking things yall make. Fuckin Hell.

It pisses me off that they pulled the "not everything has to be sanitized for you," card. That isn't the fucking issue. You have to be fucking dense to think this is a "this makes me uncomfortable so its bad," issue, rather than an issue of the films portraying trans women or "men in dresses" as predators, and/or something to be laughed at. WITHOUT having anything meaningful to say about the trope. No underlying message.

I love Rocky Horror, but the movie glaringly portrays a trans-coded person as a sexual predator. With no deeper critique or commentary about it. To a trans audience, especially in the 80s, it just confirms the narrative that they are disgusting and predatory. I dont doubt a lot of young people internalized that.

The movie definitely had themes of sexual liberation, and had a large queer cult following, but that doesn't negate the fact that the movie at it's core wasn't intended to show trans women in a positive light. Queer people often embrace media that caracaturizes us because of how few options we have, and how flamboyant those productions often are.

Hope this makes sense, the latter alf was rushed as I have an appointment soon.

I'd argue

#sorry for the namecalling i kist get SO #pissed #when people try acting like theyre above us #or more intelligent #when they donf fucking know what theyre talking about

Can't believe i have to say this but no matter what we can NOT let that suffering child out of the basement, no matter how much you might want to. They would honestly be better off figuring out how to get out on their own, right? Like if one of us tries to let them out then they might feel forced to stay in the basement forever if you think about it. The journey out of the basement is so so important we can't disrupt that right?
