#idk maybe I’m just a hater

[blowflyfag]

I think the reason I hate NWO so much besides the fact Hulk Hogan is mega lame and just sucks as a wrestler is. Like. It doesn’t make sense. It wants to be the other, it wants to be rebellion, but it’s not. NWO is everyone (seriously why is every wrestler in the NWO)… and it’s fucking cheesy to have your boss also be in your like.. fake punk group. It’s cringe.

Like. You want me to take your New Order serious? When Hulk Hogan and Eric Jerk Off are sucking each other off saying how great they are???

DX (the original iteration) worked so well and resonated with so many people because they were hating and dunking on their boss, not enough to get fired, but enough to make a statement. To say look at us. We think you suck but we have to work under you. We’re gonna cause trouble in our own way to get under your skin.

Idk NWO could’ve been something and it’s kinda like a nothing burger to me and it makes me upset cause there’s always potential in everything I think. It just takes the right people to pull out that potential.

ALSO IF YOU LIKE NWO IM HAPPY FOR YOU!!’ I’m glad you’re able to enjoy something! It’s just not for me :3

one thing that always strikes me as odd in a fic is when one or more of the side/non-pairing characters are… like super extra supportive of the main pairing. like idk how to say it but like there’s a difference between how people support their friends and want good things for them in real life, and like shipping your friends together. it won’t ruin my overall enjoyment unless it really does come up a lot but like it really pulls me out of a fic

Warning: no hate to op it just literally made me spiral about challengers.

I would love to talk about the tags

Bc I know it’s a joke but it kinda encapsulates my feelings about the reception of this movie.

Like I thought while watching Challengers that it was playing on the 80s trope of a women getting in the way of a homoerotic relationship bc Hollywood didn’t like the gays. But, the fact that it never actually was brave enough to act on the subtext makes it just another example of the trope, even if it is aware of it. Which is what this tag made me spiral about. Exactly— they didn’t even show anything. The kiss was literally unintentional which is good build up but like…that was it. It felt like an empty scene that doesn’t have any tangible repercussions. Like the kiss should have had a ripple effect across the film but nah. It’s just…left there.

I liked the movie. Everyone was hot, the camera work is genuinely jaw dropping, and I love messy, complex character studies (don’t get me started on ppl who exclusively hate on Art I stg). But it isn’t revolutionary for queer rep. It isn’t even good polyamory rep!! I’ve seen so many takes being like “finally a film where a love triangle ends up in the girl getting both guys”. NO. SHE CHEATS ON HER HUSBAND. I love when characters devolve and are complex, but no. She isn’t a girlboss with two boyfriends. Like it just straight up isn’t polyamory without communication. It isn’t even attempted polyamory. It’s just cheating. Which, again, the movie isn’t claiming it isn’t. I just hate the reception of it. Ugh.

But that’s the thing. You could cut Art and Patrick’s kiss and the own frame of bisexual tinder and nothing would change. That isn’t good queer rep. And I’m not saying to have good gay rep there needs to be happy endings or that you can’t have subtext, but goddamnit gay subtext to just make your movie edgy is so fkn 2010s. It did feel like the movie didn’t genuinely want to show a friendship that slowly becomes tainted by mutual pining and internalized homophobia. It just wants to use queerness as a garnish to comment on humanity or whatever. Which is not new. Fucking Gatsby did this.

The difference between real rep and not is resolution. Resolving the queerness doesn’t need to be positive or negative or whatever— it needs to be addressed. It just feels so dated to leave it to tumblr to directly call it gay.

I’m just tired of queerness being used as a motif vs a human fucking experience. It isn’t just decoration for your indie film it’s an entire identity and culture.

And I liked the movie!!! I genuinely did. I just don’t think it’s right to let Hollywood think that is good queer rep.

We're not talking about tennis. What the fuck else do I have to talk to you about?

[katetorias]

guys is this a safe space. I hate when people talk about kinning in the same breath as Introjects because it is NOT similar in the slightest. disrespectful even /lighthearted

[dungeonmessy]

[mabaris]

it’s honestly funny how many people are still like “ughh the first trailer SUCKED, it was so controversial, it was a disaster, everyone hated it and they would have been driven away completely if not for the gameplay footage” like. skill issue lmao. dragon age has always been a little silly. take my hand.

[deviljho]

if i’m being honest i’m not 100% sure what longlegs was supposed to be “saying” about the clinton administration, i’ve seen other ppl referring to this vaguely in their commentary on the movie and it makes me scratch my head a little because besides that giant ass photo they had of him in the fbi guy’s office i really don’t feel like it made a lot of overt connections to that time period politically beyond it obviously addressing and being connected to the satanic panic movement but even that feels a bit off the mark to me because i associate that movement much more strongly with the 70s/80s?? (although checking on it i am seeing that it “died down” in the early 90s so like. okay I GUESS.)

anyways maybe i’m just stupid but i am just sort of confused by this idea that’s being perpetuated by various people that it has smth to say about bill clinton & his presidency specifically. like they didn’t even mention him directly even once in the movie it’s just that giant poster looming in the background TJ Eckleberg style and maybe that’s really all that people mean when they say it’s about the clinton administration. but in my opinion the film is much more focused on general (and um. vague LOL) themes of familial abuse and “satanism” than anything else. so what gives

Why do I have Lewis Max fic thoughts after seeing them interact for so many weekends
