The movies now that I'm an informed and older queer,,, the movies suck. The male gaze is everywhere and the brutalizing and demeaning of women is so so constant even in small ways (Im talking about on screen characters here, but I know off camera it is also bad). I'm so annoyed and bored and angry like how the frick has the industry gotten away with this garbage for so long. CAN WE PLEASE get ALL women and queers and neurodivergents and people of color in the writing room. The writing the plot the directing idk whatever jobs there are to be had, get someone other than a hetero man in there I'm crying.
Maybe I'm also just a little harsher on this because now I've realized my queer identity and seeing sex and romance as key selling points in every trailer except the one for a horror movie was really annoying. Like I know not every movie is made for me but not ONE trailer had a half decent plot let alone one where a woman had any agency. I just ,,, how is the bar just so embedded-into-the-Mariana-trench low
