Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.

i can't even come up with an adequate enough comparison to describe the second-hand embarrassment i'm feeling at this moment, all that's coming to mind is that time i threw up in the school hallway in 5th grade and that was still easier to cope with than this

[genericpuff]

here's the thing, i deadass do not care if it's actually a good film, objectively or subjectively or otherwise.

a lot of people are praising it and probably for good reason! i'm not gonna pretend like Nolan isn't an amazing director / screenwriter when Inception is one of my favorite movies of all time.

but whether or not it's a well-made film is beside the point.

the point is that it was funded by Greece taxpayer dollars and yet couldn't even be bothered to hire Greek actors/actresses. or give a damn about researching and portraying Ancient Greek dialects and clothing and weaponry with any respect or effort.

it's not my responsibility to get angry on behalf of Greek peoples because I am not Greek and so you could argue this is not my circus, not my monkeys. and the last thing I wanna do is speak over Greek voices, of which there are MANY who are sharing their justified disdain for this film.

but I'd like to think I know a little thing or two about cultural appropriation and the harm that Hollywood has done in tokenizing and fetishizing and profiting off other culture's media without ever giving back to the culture that is still alive. Greece is not Atlantis, it's not like it's some long-forgotten city of myth that we can only make assumptions or best guesses about, its land and its people are still here and we're ignoring them in favor of taking the easy way out and hiring Tom Holland and Zendaya and putting them in Spirit Halloween clothing so they can recite a 2026 script that cuts out major elements of the original story and uses modern language, not because it's actually set in modern day, but because clearly the scriptwriters were too lazy or weren't confident that 2026 audiences would be able to appreciate antiquity-stylized language.

and when this movie makes hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, there's zero guarantee any of it will go back into the Greek economy. at best maybe they'll get a tourism boom from American consumers who only perceive Greece as a movie set akin to Disney World and not an actual country.

I don't give a fuck about the movie's objective quality. I don't care if people love the movie or hate it. I give a fuck about what it represents as yet another bastardized Hollywood spectacle of cultural tourism and appropriation.

telecom service providers in india are getting orders from government to shutdown our internet. they might also mass delete the posts and videos online. i know this is not the content you followed me for but please raise voice for the people in india if you can. if you find any posts about the brutality that the police inflicted upon protesters, people seeking legal or medical attention, people needing donation for sanitary pads, food, water, masks, etc. on twitter or instagram, please share it. it's my humble request. this is our last day. they're applying emergency alerts and new rules from tomorrow but today we are standing here in rain raising our voices and we will continue to do so.

Saw a comment calling The Pitt "the hospital yaoi show" when the only canon queer relationship is between two women

Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do

[setulose]

I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as I queer Native also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

Yeah I think he probably lets all his limbs go limp and just gets hauled around by his arms like a ragdoll (I tense up as the audience starts murmuring to each other and shaking their heads) I mean he has sex normally. He can access his own body during sex
