#crimson peak

crimson peak is problematic because Edith was born as a child and it's kind of gross that Thomas had sex with her like 24 years later :/

see, you joke, but I've genuinely seen someone argue that Edith is "minor-coded" and therefore her marrying someone ten years older is Problematic and Gross.

cannot emphasize enough that she is. explicitly stated onscreen to be 24 ("I was ten years old" + "14 years later"). and if you know anything about historical clothing, she doesn't look like a child either- she wears her hair up outside the house, her skirts are instep-length, she has an evening gown and wears it to a ball where children would decidedly not be present, etc. Besides all of THAT, she's clearly pursuing a career and acting as her father's hostess. She's a normal upper-class woman in her mid-20s in 1901, in terms of age markers (the career thing was of course unusual, but it's an unusual Adult Activity, not childish).

But she's...I don't know, short? Big-Eyed? So she's Basically A Child I Guess

crimson peak is also problematic because lucille’s child voice sings at the beginning and she later has a sex scene as an adult (no other reason, however)

Yes! SO very problematic

but nope, no other reason whatsoever. that's the only one. good catch! :)

"Ghosts are real. This much, I know. There are things that tie them to a place, very much like they do us. Some remain tethered to a patch of land, a time and date, the spilling of blood, a terrible crime. But there are others, others that hold onto an emotion, a drive, loss, revenge, or love. Those, they never go away."

hey. don't cry. the horror... the horror was for love. the things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. this love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. it is a monstrous love, and it makes monsters of us all. ok?
