lol sorry, not to continue IT posting BUT:
1- INSANE that mike & bill fucked raw onscreen while richie was in the background sobbing his eyes out over eddies gross corpse, but theyre bro-fived & said 'this is the furthest extent of the platonic bond between men: we're not gay' - very strange choice
2- theres this fcukn Old Bullshit b3ach/death post calling richie horror's first 'final gay', which is - imo - straight up untrue, and we can argue about how things might be seen as more or less empowering thru how they moved certain actions to him so he kills his original homophobic bully in the film, etc etc - BUT, what hits me over & over, and its 1/2 a time thing & honestly similar to the g-o shit from ages ago, but the man is barely even Fucking gay ygm?? ygwifm???? I'm not saying its not in the film or anything, im not saying its the worst fukn rep in the world, but knowing that the best they could be Bothered to do was have a guy get slurs shouted at him, and try to attempt to articulate a (dead!) love thru a bridge-carving (verbal confo is for losers!) is so fuckin depressing to me, i genuinely dont have the words
