I feel bad for characters like nightwing and red hood and captain america and thor who are oversexualized - or even just pigeonholed in general - to the point where it takes focus away from the intricacies of the characters. It’s kinda tragic to see and, while I’m sure it happens to real people too, it ignores so much of their carefully curated backstories.

I mean, nightwing might be a charismatic performer but he’s also a SA victim multiple times over. If it were me, I’d probably be uncomfortable having that kind of attention and commentary - idk, comments like that kinda feel like people view the object of their desire as less of a person and would be more likely to try to take advantage of it.

Yes, nightwing has a skintight suit, but he used to not wear pants to maintain a larger range of motion so I imagine the spandex is a similar situation. Yes, nightwing is a bit of a flirt, but he’s someone who thrives within a crowd and he’s used to performing and trying to elicit a response. Yes, he’s had a lot of partners, but so what? So have plenty of other characters and he’s pretty established as a loyal partner - his notable instance of “cheating” was when somebody shapeshifted to look like his current partner and his real partner got upset that he couldn’t tell the difference (This is uninformed consent, which doesn’t actually count as consent, making it assault). Yeah, a lot of people find nightwing attractive, but objectifying him so much just kinda icks me out.

Point is, I’m glad they’re not real people but I feel sorry for the actors, voice actors, artists, etc. as well as the original creators of the characters for having to deal with all the characters pigeonholed by fan attraction.

Tørsö - Everyone Is Sick & Pigeonholed, from Sono Pronta A Morire (I'm Ready To Die)( 2015).

can't fix that brain. just give it drugs. half the population needs to feel numb. years of abuse washed down the drain. sedate us all, so we can't feel real pain. captivated by outdated words. don't look to yourself. everyone is sick. there's no profit in health.

policing the parts that are too small to see. taking much more and i'll just want to scream. walls closing in. can't catch a break. wise up - it suffocates me. easy to snap. break over a knee. breaking the mold. can't have your way. wise up - it suffocates me. emasculate. de-feminize. lay it to rest. let it go.

While skateboarding in Washington Square Park in New York in 1995, 20-year-old Justin Pierce was discovered by Larry Clark, who cast Pierce for his film Kids (written by 18-year-old Harmony Korine in 1993, based/inspired off of skateboarder Quim Cardona).

In 2000, Pierce appeared in Next Friday with Ice Cube. They traveled to Las Vegas to promote the DVD release of the film and on 10 July Pierce failed to show up to a local mall to sign autographs. He was found hanging in his hotel room by hotel security.

Pierce died the day before the New York premiere of his film, Pigeonholed.

A bit delayed sharing this here... but I am pleased to announce that after two long semesters and pulling many all-nighters, my thesis film, PIGEONHOLED is complete!!! Here's a little trailer I put together (very quickly, would like to make a better one later) to celebrate! And have a poster, too!

The film will be premiering at the SVA Theater on May 8th! It will also stream on YouTube and Twitch, so look out for that!
