Anyway, I love women. My life is sustained by my connection with women. And I truly believe that there is no other force more powerful on this earth than the love a woman has for another woman. I love all of you so very very very much.
do people on this site know how to like something without getting ridiculously defensive whenever somebody points out a bad aspect of it
if you dislike anything ever. die.
kylo was literally cast as an ‘attractive’ young man to call out the trope of evil always being disfigured, ugly, horrifying. part of how scary he is is supposed to come from the fact that he is attractive
and the fact that fans take this to mean that he is actually good inside is,.;…. utterly and inescapably forever missing the god damned point.
evil isn’t always marked. sometimes it blends in, sometimes it even looks like a hero, or worse a friend. thats what makes kylo so insidious.
What do you think about people saying the resistance to Anne and Phillip’s relationship (from The Greatest Showman) had more to do with class than race, using their song for white ships like Reylow and so on? I personally thought the lyrics were a clear reference to segregation and anti-miscegenation, like the part about “doors that we can’t walk through.”
They’re wrong. It’s irritating enough to see people change the context of the song for all-white ships, but to say the original interracial couple the song’s about were only dealing with classism, not racism? Wrong, dismissive, revisionist.
It’s saying that in order for the song to have meaning for them, they have to remove the blackness.
