If I had a penny for the number of days in my life I’ve struggled to propose a sensible way for a government to entirely abolish advertising & marketing, I’d have well into four figures in savings.

Traded one for the other eh. I still haven’t watched that show; I always preferred stuff from the UK, which has their own problems as a viewer like us

Pretty much every popular American media franchise, from films to television programmes to streaming and comic books, has firm roots in heteronormative oppression & the best you ever see for representation is surface-level. There’s always backtracking to bigotry & appealing to the lowest common denominator. You can’t expect any of this shit to be truly intersectional or free of discriminatory elements.

Examples of surface-level representatives:

“Here’s a black woman on our film, you saw her right? We’re not racist or misogynist.” “Here’s a gay man on our show, you saw him right? We’re not homophobic.” “Here’s a trans man on our show, you saw him right? We’re not transphobic.” “Here’s a nonbinary pansexual unicorn on our show. You saw them, right? We don’t kink-shame.”

It fucking never ends & it’s all for you to buy their new shiny bullshit next time.

Y’all hurry up n’ bankrupt yourselves now, ya hear?

I can think of some great ideas for subterfuge & propaganda by the deed if you had a job at wherever these are made, but I’m gonna keep that to myself.

I’m pretty sure this happened to my last two exes, & has a big part to do with why I’m staying single indefinitely.

Edit: adding further to this, it’s also happening to my family members, who I’ve grown more estranged from every day for several years.

I yelled to a room full of motherfuckers I don’t even know that I needed a shower, went home and took one after the first screening. I knew damn well that this Orlok was gonna be the biggest PoS version of him we’ve ever seen, but even then my expectations were a bit succeeded. Saw it opening night in the cinema, twice. Best xmas ever
