don't ever look at popular social media personalities opinions on or check the tags related to a movie explicitly about the queer experience Worst mistake of my life. every single time a queer movie has gotten popular cishet people come out in droves to posit that Actually, my interpretation of the film where instead of being weird faggots everyone is normal is Just as valid as your stupid gay interpretation . and I'm meant to be like yeah okay

#yes i saw todd in the shadows tweet about i saw the tv glow yes im mad about it #for someone whose entire career spanning over a decade is built upon scrutinizing art #youd think he wouldnt have maybe the most dense idiotic take on this explicitly trans movie that ive ever seen in my life #“what if the curtains are just blue” type shit. never graduated from picture books type of reading comprehension #and i LIKE his videos and i have for years. this shit was just maybe the dumbest thing hes ever said #and i feel like since hes an out and proud lefty guy that people give him too much slack for very much still being white and cishet #not that those are things to be ashamed of but they do obviously color his opinions and the things he says #and for what its worth heres your obligatory reminder that this post is hyperbole lest anyone be offended #that im mocking their favorite internet personality. i guess #can we not just have literally a single thing that belongs to us. must we always cede ground to allowing alternative interpretations #to art that is explicitly about us.#god forbid. GOD FORBID anything not be for the majority audience. GOD FORBID anything be made by us for us #and GOD FORBID anyone ever have to admit that they just fundamentally cant relate to something that isnt about them #whatever i will probably delete this later because im not like a “discourse account”#and im mostly just ranting about a singular interaction i saw on twitter #but a lot of people have been having horrible opinions about this movie and its making me evil #through the teeth #i saw the tv glow
