i’m sure the gratuitous sexualization of teenagers in popular culture (from the omnipresence of porn to teen dramas to social media) has nothing to do with why younger audiences (particularly women as it’s obviously gendered) feel this way
A study claims that 48% of Gen Z feel that “sex and sexual content is not needed for the plot of most TV & movies.”
51.5% reportedly want to “see more content focused on friendships and platonic relationships.”

it sucks that twitter only cares abt chloe’s body when she literally produced one of the best albums of 2020 like she has producing and/or writing credits on every song in ungodly hour

and it’ll be people with their full faces in their avi first and last name in the user like not only are u evil u are evil without shame
"Son of Saul" director László Nemes condemns Jonathan Glazer's Oscar speech
"When you make a movie like [Zone], there is a responsibility attached to it. Glazer has clearly failed to measure this responsibility"
ppl in the comments saying misandry isn’t real like misandry, racism and Islamophobia haven’t gone hand in hand to justify the genocide in Gaza by caricaturing Palestinian men as misogynistic, rapist jackals victimising liberal, secular, progressive Israeli women
everyone in the quotes pointing out she might be homophobic and it’s like sure but it doesn’t change the fact she can beat maya hawke in a gay face contest
imagine years writing and perfecting a script and then going through the process of having it made and getting it out for people to watch only for it to end up on obama’s end of the year favorites list
i don’t think the writers are misogynistic towards shiv there is enough in the text to make her as empathetic (whatever that means in context to succession) as the rest of the roys it’s just like. everyone hates women
kendall saying “you’re not wanted” to connor and calling roman a moron like logan does and saying shiv’s only value is being a woman like he went for all their biggest insecurities yeah he’s never seeing heaven
poor things didn’t work for me as the feminist film (and i think it’s kinda dishonest to pretend it didn’t intend to be one). it would’ve been maybe groundbreaking in 2017 but lacks any insight for the current state of affairs . but it did work for me as a coming of age film
if “i love you alive girl” was from some millennial fiction book that blew up online instead of jeff bezos’ leaked sexts u guys would eat that shit up honestly
what’s funny abt this is that there’s actually hundreds of people on tiktok trying to inform everyone (to the extent the time limit let’s them) abt palestine. one of the most concise and enlightening books (zionist colonialism by fayez sayegh) abt it is only 43 pages long.
not to be the fun police but i think they’re both losers for making spectacles out of women’s pain (real or imagined) while both independently associating with abusers and rapists. anyway!
zoe kravitz is my andrew garfield when ppl find high fidelity and lolawolf im gonna be fighting the urge to tweet “WHERE WERE U PEOPLE YEARS AGO????” every day
@paulswhtn
when she was like i’m wearing caution tape and he looked her up and down and said i see that UGH i hate u mindy kaling for doing this to me again
ppl love to flip flop between “why does this filmmaker only make movies about white people” and, when they don’t, “this is not this filmmaker’s story to tell” like at a certain point it’s clear you just want to yell at these guys having no idea what you actually want from them
also i just want to reiterate i am talking abt popular media not independent art as i believe those two things should be analyzed through slightly different frameworks
im crying mindy’s love interests went from white dude to wasian to super white passing arab it’s like she needs training wheels to finally make it to casting a monoracial non ambiguous man of color
okay i’ll say it! on an everyday context white women have contributed more frequently to my experiences with racism/ xenophobia than white men and those experiences have effected me more personally bc it was from ppl i considered friends so it hurt more/ felt more insidious

You’re both so much more than Kenough.
#HillaryBarbie
a 25 year old sets himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy to protest a genocide. a cop points a gun at his collapsed body. i learn about his death in between jokes about the dune II premiere
also i’m not implying it’s a good thing ppl feel this way! if u think i’m advocating for Good Family Friendly Fun you’re abt to be disappointed. i’m just saying we shouldn’t give into the centuries old impulse of dismissing young ppl w out looking into why they feel a certain way
i can’t make fun of zendaya laughing bc i laugh at everyone’s jokes even if it’s not that funny life u could say the most unfunny shit and i’ll be like hehehe for no reason
not to be a bitch but being a pretty girl and dating a guy whose league u are way out of just for his personality IS one of the most pink purple blue things u can do
