If you make a movie with fursuits you are legally obligated to do this shot for some reason

Late night ramblings:
Many media critical ideas floating around in my head that are loosely connected.
Many classic Disney villains were designed by a gay man, thus were not necessarily meant to be negative stereotypes but a pastiche of his life experiences.
80s post-apocalyptic media’s consistent use of studded leather and biker gangs feels like a homophobic cultural inclination as if to say the existence of leather daddies are an herald of the apocalypse or fall of civilization.
The cenobites in Hellraiser (1987) were admittedly a pastiche of leather culture but were erroneously appropriated into the horror genre.
Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) walks a similar fine line between homophobic and queer, depending the interpretation… Who is Frankenfurter? Why are they a villain?
The final girl trope in horror is due to heteronormative purity culture idealization, not necessarily founded in reality.
“It Follows (2014) is 1.) anti-sex and 2.) represents the AIDS epidemic” is the leading fan theory.
The video game One Leaves (2019) is literally an antismoking ad (which is why it’s free)
The black guy dying first may not always be a racist power fantasy, but it is an ongoing trope to be conscientious of, when making narrative decisions.
If Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs (1991) was allowed access to gender affirming care, they wouldn’t have turned to killing in the first place. They were denied multiple times and blacklisted: the system fail them.
Queerbaiting in the series Hannibal (2013), and it’s lasting affect on the fandom, and the view from outsiders.
Serial killers from real life helped inspire most slasher films of the 70s onward. Will our generations immortalize school shooters in horror films in the same way? And the additional fetishization and adulation of real world killers based on their documentaries, often against the bequest of family members.
Much of mainstream horror is based in Christian mythos. Even suspending the disbelief of possession, the original The Exorcist (1973) is not scary at all if you do not believe in Christianity, let alone Catholicism.
The rise of furry horror movies like Furry Nights (2016) where the killers are furries.

Already wrote a massive paragraph for it on Instagram, but this game means so much to me. This won't be the last fanart I make of it, definitely not.

Furry Nights (2016)
A group of campers/filmmakers are hunted down by fursuiters in the cheapest most low-effort costumes possible after "accidentally" shooting one of them. Basically, It's an entire movie based entirely around "OMG furries are so creepy right?" Which maybe could have been enough in the early 2000s, but in 2016 it's basically just regurgitating the same jokes that had already been running throughout popular media for the last decade. This movie has no positive qualities. It's not even the kind of bad where it's fun to viciously tear it apart piece by piece. I just feel sorry for the actors who are never going to be able to scrub this from their resumes.
(2/10)
