“red-pill” “snowflake” everything about v for vendetta…fascists really do love to steal and bastardize culture from the queer people they are trying to destroy
“snowflake” was popularized in Fight Club, a novel by a gay man. “red-pill” is from a movie created by two trans women and is a metaphor for estrogen and gender transitioning. those same women adapted V For Vendetta from the original comic (written by a polyamorous man who may or may not be queer but certainly has something going on); in both versions the titular protagonist “V” is implied to be transmasculine, and a survivor of torture and imprisonment for the crime of homosexuality.
because that’s what they see in us, these bigots who are happy to consume and quote and corrupt queer-created media, as long as they can erase every beautiful root. they see criminals, commiting the crime of being queer. and they are doing their damnedest to bring back the laws that made it so.
i keep forgetting i finished this list challenge! a huge thank you to beloved friends and mutuals for the additional suggestions 💜🫡
picture this: you are a lesbian or a bisexual woman in the year 2011. you want to watch something gay and you refuse to watch glee anymore because finn just sang “girls just wanna have fun” to santana as an apology for outing her, which is objectively insane. so what do you watch?
well! probably one of these movies. some are good. many are questionable at best. some aren’t even gay, strictly speaking. however, “but i’m a cheerleader” sprinted so “bottoms” could leap into the perfect sun.
How many of these iconic (affectionate) (derogatory) movies have you seen?
Moi je dis jamais deux sans trois. Le vieux au cimetière, la fille en taule et non-éligible, je propose que Jordan ait aussi son moment de déchéance assez rapidement.
