[wutheringheightsfilm]

every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...

the secret cheat code for women is realizing you dont have to date men

[curseworm]

this doesnt just go for lesbians it goes for bi women and straight women too. i cant even count how many times straight women have told me “i wish i was a lesbian so i didnt have to date men” but guess what … u Dont have to date men 

[curseworm]

to be clear this also isnt necessarily saying ‘go date women instead!!’ its just saying…. u dont have to date men. u dont have to be dating women in order to not date men! in fact if ur not attracted to women at all please dont date women just as a substitute for men. but if dating men isnt making u happy… u dont have to do that. u dont have to make a space in ur life for men

[curseworm]

im singlehandedly destroying every mans mental health by telling women its ok to not date them

Shout out to the (many) times I got called an elitist gatekeeper for saying that the only real way to fully understand a work of fiction is to experience it firsthand and that summaries and reviews are not a replacement for that

[the-lincyclopedia]

Me, reading the first 80% of the post: What do you mean, "experience it firsthand"? How am I supposed to join the Hunger Games or go on the Odyssey?

Me, reading the final clause of the post: Oh, you literally meant that people have to read the book/listen to the audiobook in order to fully understand it. And people got mad. Oh dear.

To quote what a friend of mine said after she watched Jerry Maguire (1996) for the first time, having thought she knew what it was about because of its cultural ubiquity: “you miss a lot of a movie when you don’t watch it”

[prismatic-bell]

Also summaries can be misleading.

Here. Don't look this up. Don't put it in the comments if you know. Read this and tell me what movie it describes:

Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.

Got a guess?

You're locked in?

You're sure?

You don't want a genre hint?

Okay. You're probably gonna feel really silly in a minute, just as a word of warning.

This is a real summary written by Rick Polito.

It was used by Turner Classic Movies in 1998 and was printed in TVGuide. If you're too young to know what that means, it was a staple in most households--if TVGuide said it, you could be pretty sure it was accurate.

Did you guess The Wizard of Oz?

Yeah, I told you it was misleading. Technically it's true, but it misses everything the movie is about.

And if that doesn't explain it for you, I'm not sure anything will.

sure anything will.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
