bro in my satire class said that interpreting male intimacy in media as nebulous in terms of platonic/romantic/sexual relationships is “a massive generalization” because “sex ruins friendships,” maybe ill just write an essay about menippean satire and the carnivalesque’s upheaval of traditional social dynamics and how that plays into Jaffier and Pierre’s relationship in Venice Preserved. as a treat
#he brought up how he hates when people interpret sam and frodo as gay#like just say you dont want queer representation in your fav media#this was AFTER he was judgy toward women and TEENAGE GIRLS for wearing makeup because ‘men dont care if women wear makeup’#and how women’s bathrooms are always messy and have ‘products and chemicals everywhere’ while men only have ‘a toothbrush and a bar of soap’#major manosphere behavior#jason speaks#venice preserved#thomas otway#satire#british literature#brit lit
