Being forcefully raised as a woman is not any less traumatic and emotionally repressive as being forcefully raised as a man. Femininity is not inherently pure and safe. Coercing someone to perform femininity is not any less toxic than coerced masculinity. Being dysphoric around femininity or having trauma from women doesn’t make you a misogynist.
hate it when things that are obviously seen as transmisogyny when they happen to trans women are “just joking” when used against trans men. “kill all trans men” should have you put on every single trans person’s blocklist immediately. “we should forcefem transmascs” should have you put on every single trans person’s blocklist immediately. “i would never date a trans guy because they’re whiny” should have you put on every single trans person’s blocklist immediately
Misogyny.

There are only two jobs left in the world and it's making sandwiches or killing people
I am spoiling the live action Lilo & Stitch. And I am doing it up front and plainly.
Do not fucking see this movie. Do not waste your money on this. Period.
They made Nani give Lilo up to the American government. They made Nani LEAVE Hawaii and pursue being a marine biologist. They made a native Hawaiian character give up her sibling to pursue a dream that she originally did not have. This is imperialist propaganda at its FINEST.
The original fucking movie is about family staying together. It's about indigenous people being able to stay with each other and stay in their home and be together! That's the whole fucking point! Nani is Lilo's last living relative on her homeland—it is jarring, it is disgusting and disturbing that Nani would not only leave her last blood relative alone, give her up to the very government that is harming native Hawaiians TODAY, but also travel to the "mainland" for her dream!
Not to mention, Nani's actress isn't fucking Hawaiian. She's much paler in photos and real life. They fucking darkened her for this movie.
Don't even get me started on the transgender subtext of Pleakley's "human" disguise from the original movie being completely erased in favor of him being played by a regular ass white man. Jumba doesn't have his accent, they made him more villainous, and his "human" disguise is a non-fat white man—which part of his original joke, I know, is that he was bigger and was more clumsy in the movie because of his size, but to have the main shape of his character completely removed is also fucking weird.
This live action movie is a desecration to the original. I encourage you to not see it, please. Don't give Disney any of your money on this one. Just watch the original. Please just watch the original.
The new message in the live action movie is disturbing and gross.
This is one of the most disrespectful live actions I've seen and heard of. I implore you to not watch it.
Gonna go ahead and mute this post because people are saying they won't see it, which is what my goal was!
But uh....
Fear it needs to be said: Yes, the Pleakley dressing as a woman joke in the original movie definitely was "oh, he's an ugly woman", but also there was queer context to it because he consistently said that he liked wearing certain aspects of the disguise....like the wigs and the dresses and whatnot?? And also! With the current standing on transgender people in America, Disney choosing to not keep that joke where Pleakley likes dressing that way—that's certainly a choice! It's definitely reflective of something! (Please just use your brains and stop being transphobic on my post. I'm a fucking tranny, leave me alone.) (Also this was a post to mainly highlight the imperialist narrative in the live action; especially in an age where children are being separated from their parents and where birth right citizenship is being tested and where indigenous people are being consistently fucked over by the American government).
Anyway!
Everything I've read about this movie sounds like a travesty. I already had no intentions of watching it, but everything I've heard about the changes to the story make it absolutely certain I won't.
The one thing I will comment on, though, is the strangeness of making Nani's dream to be a marine biologist, because . . . in the original movie she already did have a dream that she gave up pursuing to take care of Lilo, albeit it's only shown through the background of her room.
Nani's dream was to be a professional surfer.
Now, I'm not going to say that I know anything about professional surfing, or its cultural impact on Hawaii. I'm not here to claim that Nani's original dream was more or less relevant to her home or anything like that. What I will say is that Nani is shown surfing with Lilo, Stitch, and Danny in the original movie, so it at least seems like something she could do from her home, even if tournaments had her travel for periods of time. (Which might be why she gave it up to raise Lilo; she can't afford to bounce when she has a six-year-old to take care of.)
So it's weird to me that they were like, "OK, let's have Nani have a dream that she had to give up to take care of Lilo," and instead of using the one that she originally had in the movie, they instead invented a new one for her that would "force" her to leave Hawaii. (Because why does she have to go to a school on the continent? Why not the universities right there in Hawaii?)
And that's not even getting into the fact that like . . . yes, Nani gave up her dream of being a professional surfer in order to take care of Lilo. But this is not something that Nani was agonized over. Would she have preferred that her parents didn't die so that Lilo would be taken care of and she could surf professionally? Fucking obviously, she loved her parents. But she also loves Lilo. I'm not saying that people never make painful sacrifices for the ones they love, because of course they can and do. But I am saying that what would otherwise be a painful sacrifice is much less if it's for one you love, because that person will mean more to you than what it is you're giving up. Yes, Nani loved surfing, but she loves her sister more, and it's not like can't still surf, she just doesn't do it as a professional athlete. And letting go of that dream for the sake of her beloved little sister is so, so much better than if she had to let it go because she just wasn't skilled enough (she was), or if she had an injury or something.
Nani having a dream / the ability to become a professional surfer in the original film was, in my opinion, put there to show just how much Nani loved Lilo. Because Nani had this dream, and it was achievable for her given all the trophies and such in her room, but she chose to give it up because she loves Lilo that much. And we know that she does, because in the original film she fights tooth and nail to keep custody of Lilo, to the point where Cobra Bubbles even tells her, "It seems to me like you need her more than she needs you."
This choice to not only give Nani a dream that requires her to leave her home, but also to act like this is a "happy" ending for her, feels like it came from someone who completely missed the point of the first movie (and Nani's character). Nani giving up her dream of being a professional surfer wasn't a bad or negative thing, because she did it for love. She did it because she loved her sister. And the ending in the live action remake, where she doesn't love her sister enough to want to be there with her as she grows . . . it really is just awful.
we seriously need to stop conceding to the personhood trap when it comes to abortion rights. is a fetus a person? thats a spiritual question. i dont care about the answer. should another person dictate what someone can do with their body? simple answer: no.
like if a fetus isnt a person it has no right to my body and if a fetus IS a peson it also has no right to my body because there is no other context in which we are required to put ourselves at risk of physical harm to preserve another persons safety or even life.
you dont have to save someone from drowning even if youre a strong swimmer. even in death youre not required to donate organs and that could save several people. you can kill someone if you truly believe your safety is at risk. we dont mandate preservation of life over autonomy in any of these circumstances.
this would've made more sense with amuro i admit but i'm too kaipilled to care
how did we lose the plot so hard with feminism and activism like seriously… are we forgetting that being kind and loving to the men and boys in your life, teaching them as kids if you are a parent to be kind respectful humans, and showing them how to be emotionally vulnerable and making a society in which it is safe to do so was like…. A huge part of feminism, dismantling patriarchal values, and creating a generation of loving men who are held accountable for their actions?
Why is it “kill all men yes even the trans ones and if you say otherwise you’re an MRA” and not “let’s maybe create a world that encourages good men.” Did we forget that feminism was supposed to be good for everyone and that the patriarchy harms men and boys as well?
Like maybe we should care about male loneliness and the male suicide rate BECAUSE MAYBE WED HAVE LESS SOCIETAL PROBLEMS if 100% of the population wasn’t traumatized by gendered expectations and not being taught decent communication skills/how to be emotionally vulnerable. And definitely we would if fucking redpill echo chambers weren’t the places most willing to accept and nurture (groom into hateful ideology) young men.
The problem has never been men, cis or trans, being uniquely capable of evil the problem has always been the fact that cishet patriarchal culture encourages and rewards shitty behavior that makes everyone involved bitter and miserable and calls it masculinity.
transandrophobia is real
People are all for their femboys and feminine men until it’s a trans man being comfortable enough to wear dresses and shit. You can’t cheer over how f1nnster dressed and confused folks if you so willingly point out every “flaw” a trans man doesn’t pass by.
Ye, as a trans boi with long hair that has been consistently dyed for over a year and as someone who will cross dress for the fun of it, it pissed me off to see those types of comments.
As a trans woman, girls, sometimes y'all need to shut up and listen to trans men. They also face a lot of discrimination in various areas that we don't.
Likewise, trans men, sometimes y'all need to shut up and listen to trans women. We face a lot of discrimination that you don't.
Both need to 100% listen to non-binary and intersex people. The amount of hatred I've seen from trans men and trans women toward enbies and intersex people is staggering. I'm really starting to see what all the jokes about the average tumblr user's reading comprehension are about. Some of y'all cannot see past your own identity and the discrimination you face.
Little secret, cishets don't like *any* of us. All of us should be free to speak on our own experiences of discrimination *without* the other groups dismissing, belittling and patronising us. We are all degenerates in the eyes of society and the only way we survive is by listening to eachother and caring for eachother as a collective.
Nobody else in the trans or intersex community is your enemy. We all have bad apples, but broadly we are all in this together and I really don't see why trans women can't understand that trans men face discrimination and I really don't get why trans men can't do the same.
Why are you tearing into your closest allies like this? Why are you reducing the chances that any of us survive? Accept that sometimes, you aren't the affected party and own up when you make mistakes.
it will never stop being funny to me how much of kink in public type discussion centers around collars when like. unless someone has a specific directly kink-related symbol or word on the collar theres no way for you to know if their choice to wear it is kink-related in the first place. that is a widely normalized fashion item. you are trying to have moral panic over something you can buy at fucking claires.
and that is very much the point. positioning something worn by very specific groups outside of kink communities for well known reasons as inherently sexual isnt done unintentionally, because this focus on the concept of 'kink' in public is about wanting to control people and justify harassment and violence towards people in certain groups.
when people say they want to beat anyone wearing a diaper in public theyre aware of the fact that includes a lot of disabled people. they already know about collars being worn by trans women to draw the eye away from adams apples, by alternative subcultures, by therians and otherkin, various other people seen as Weird in some way. they know that hatred for them will be more socially acceptable when its framed it as hatred of kink, because its easier to position as bad.
if you say that you dont want children seeing anything done as a kink thing, it sounds like youre Protecting Them. it doesnt sound like you want to say anyone that makes you personally uncomfortable is a threat to children on the basis of that discomfort, it gets turned into some righteous desire for preventing a theoretical harm. it doesnt matter what you obviously mean, it doesnt matter whether that harm exists or not, because youve successfully rebranded your message.
sickens me to my stomach. how dare this guy get to live my dream.
Protip that parent of human children HATE to hear: Practicing positive reinforcement and behavior redirection in dogs makes you excellent at utilizing positive reinforcement and behavior redirection in children because they have much better language and reasoning skills!
always utterly fascinating to come across someone who seemingly has read canon but has such a radically different interpretation of the text that you basically can't recognize anything they're talking about
