people are posting their fan casts for rocky horror characters and they just don't understand that half of the eroticism and therefore their characters is that they defy gender roles through their physical appearance. ive seen a couple of people fancast actors purely because they're a curvy man but that just misses the point. a big part of frankies appearance is that they have big shoulders with muscle and a rectangular torso, the same goes with brad. they are not curvy, that is a big part of their appearance and the strangeness of their gender that the movie plays into. frank n furter is a parody of how trans women and queerness was seen as murderous sexual aliens who were just men in makeup. the movie both makes fun of that idea and also indulges in the idea through their clothing. the type of lingerie frankie wears is typically worn by curvy women, so putting someone who is not that into it plays into the obscurity and uncomfortable gender that is frankies character.
