OMG. Somebody said it out loud.

Disney is absolutely not the only studio doing this though.

It seems to have become standard practice across movies and series everywhere.

Anything that doesn't do it is like a breath of sunlight and fresh air inside a dank musty cave.

It's part of the 'fix it in post-production' epidemic sweeping through the studios. Fix it in post is often used as a time/money-saving measure - and is absolutely part of the same mess that the WGA is fighting against currently.

Rather than fixing things on-set - audio, lighting, something in-frame that shouldn't be, etc. (which is all handled by unionized crew) - they leave it for the CG folks (not unionized) to edit later.

(on ridiculously tight schedules that leave them scrambling, cutting corners, and working inhumane hours)

See also: that part where scripts aren't finished, because the studio won't fully staff the writers room, and won't pay to have writers on-set for day-of-filming script questions and fixes (which could resolve issues such as 'what kind of lighting do we need here?')

Anyway, all this shit we, as audiences, keep complaining about - bad lighting, bad sound, wonky visual effects, over-usage of not-great CGI, stilted acting on green-screen sets, scripts that seem not-quite-finished, costumes that look like they're cheap and flimsy, terrible hair and makeup, films and series that aren't as polished as they could be...

Plus the complaints we have about streaming services and their shenanigans...

All of that is enmeshed in the extreme capitalism that has taken over everything, including entertainment, to the point that studios are abusing their workforce and churning out material that - at best just doesn't live up to its potential - at worst, is just unwatchable shit.

Just a reminder for my fellow “masculine” presenting gays that while it’s totally normal to be worried about what the next 4 years could mean for our community, we need to have some perspective. You and I have the privilege of blending in with cishets in a way that our more effeminate and trans peers simply don’t have. This makes them easier to spot and target, which is why we see much higher rates of discrimination and violence against them compared to the rest of the community. This is especially true for trans people. So while it’s valid to be worried just remember who’s really in danger here, we have to have their backs!

Something as simple as offering to walk a friend home at night when they don’t feel safe, accompanying them on a trip or for an appointment, or even just affirming to them they’re safe with you can have a such a huge impact. Now more than ever it’s so important we stand in solidarity together as a community and show our support for each other. Don’t forget your privilege and do what you can to keep our fem/trans peers safe!
