yeah preeeetty much

the amount of people blubbering over atticus finch, a goddamn southern lawyer from the early 20th century, turned into an unrepentant racist who couldn't adjust with the times prolly hit too close to home for many reasons thinking the Good White Man Did His Best in the last book.

The vantage point of the woke is outside time and social context and all communication through the annals of history is assailable. When the first sea lapped upon on first shore the woke were there to wonder aloud on salon.com if consent was affirmative.

I mean in the context of the film it's true. her standing in the mirror putting a roll of socks in her crotch and trying to act tough is faking masculinity.

also faking masculinity doesn't mean faking being a man. it means that she is trying to mimic the perception of what a man is supposed to be based on societal ideas.

"Performing masculinity" might be the better term imo.

edit: that is to say, that it's no more or less authentic than when a "biological male" does it, the gender binary is a fiction we all perform for ourselves and each other in the first place

that's absolutely true, but to say the director of film deserves to be called a bitch because she didn't say what she was supposed to is silly especially when she didn't say anything all that controversial to begin with.

alot of the "critics' believe everything has to be done a certain way for it to be acceptable.
changing gears a little: you can see a lot of this from mainstream pop culture critics equating a tv show or movie with "good" or "bad" politics. it's not as frightening as the cult-like mentality of young adult lit fans, but i don't think it's a welcoming development either. take these two headlines that i found while looking for reviews of the new season of this show:


you're far more likely to hear a dig at an obscure D-list celebrity on an episode of Difficult People than a joke about contemporary politics, but in this day and age, anything and everything must be interpreted as having a message
