I dunno I think if multiple women told me that a character from a show I used to previously love was a disgusting hateful caricature of them and everything they love, I don’t think I’d like the character anymore.

seeing all the rhps casts on here has reminded me why the rocky horror community ( and the show itself ) is one of my favorites

i’ve seen so many casts that just. don’t consider gender presentation. and not just for frank n furter ( genderqueer icon btw ) either!!! ive seen a colombia with a beard and a hyperfem riff raff and it’s wonderful :] this scene is and ALWAYS has been for unconventional queer people and i think that’s awesome and beautiful tbh

On the 19th of June 1973, The Rocky Horror Show had its official opening night in the 63 seat Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London.

This photograph of Tim Curry as the now iconic Frank N Furter was taken by Leslie Hamilton. The image was captured approximately 1 week before the original production began previews and when it was presented to Tim for him to sign he reminisced that he “had blue hair in the picture, and it was taken before I learned how to pose.”

Aita for dressing up as Frank n furter for Halloween?

This happened on the 28th of October but people are still indecisive about whether I’m the asshole so I’d thought I’d get some outside opinion.

I, 23M, am a trans guy(I don’t pass as a guy if that’s relevant), and on the 28th I went to a Halloween party hosted by one of my friends. Most of our circle is queer and open minded so I thought it would be safe for me to dress up as Frank n furter from rocky horror picture show. I went all out, makeup, fake tattoo, etc.

There’s a trans girl who’s pretty popular in the friend group, I’ll call her Alice. I haven’t spoken to Alice too much but I’ve been in group conversations and we’ve gotten along well enough.

When I entered the party, I got a few compliments on my outfit but when I saw Alice she sort of gave me a bit of a dirty look. I didn’t think much of it until she pulled me aside an hour later and said that it was insensitive for me to dress up as Frank n furter because the character was offensive to trans women. I didn’t really know what to say to that so I just sort of went “well, he’s an icon for a lot of queer people” and sort of shrugged my shoulders. She then said that I should have a bit more empathy for trans women and to try and not appropriate caricatures of them.

Now, to be fair, this is a condensed version and she was very polite and said this to me in a more educating tone than that, I just thought it would be better to get to the point, especially since it was like a 15 minute conversation.

I ended up telling her that I know that some trans people take offence to Frank n furter, but that other trans people, like myself, looked up to and admired the gender fuckery of the character, even if it isn’t the best portrayal.

We had a bit of back and forth where it got a bit heated, I was and still am adamant that I can dress up as whoever I want for Halloween, especially a character from a play/movie I really like and she was adamant that I was appropriating trans women’s struggle somehow? She likened it to how trans men can’t say the t slur, which I also personally disagree with.

Alice ended the conversation by pretty much saying “you can’t fully understand the negative impact of that character because you are a trans man and not a trans woman”

At the after party I brought this up with some of my closer friends and it was a very mixed opinion across all genders and we didn’t get to a definitive answer.

So, AITA?

What are these acronyms?
