listen no offense but when i first saw ur sawposting tag i Did think u were on something. however i gave into curiosity 2day and went through the saw tag on tumblr and now im intrigued. i watched saw one and i was like Ok so these guys are definitely gay but obv it doesnt end well so im just questioning whether its worth it to keep watching. are any of the other saw movies as gay as the first one? if u are so inclined i would love a ranking of saw movies based on gayness. thank u love u <3

yeah me getting really into saw is reason for concern so i don't blame you <3 however welcome to this silly little hell. a jigsaw trap of our own making, if you will.

anyway i've briefly touched on the gay elements of other saw movies here but obviously none of it is like, canon, so i guess it depends on how good you are at making psychosexual mountains out of weird guys and girls molehills. or whatever. i personally think they're worth it to keep watching if only for amanda (lesbian murder queen of my heart) but they do get more gory/more ridiculous plot wise so i guess it depends what you're willing to stomach for subtext that isn't even subtext like it's just not really there but it's fun to see it if you squint.

this ranking is probably subject to change based on whichever one i rewatch next but here is MY personal ranking of the saw films based on gayness on this blessed easter sunday 2022:

saw: the original. nothing will ever top the bloody forehead touch as far as i am concerned. cary elwes and leigh whannell unknowingly changed the landscape of Queer Horror with that one.

saw iii: amanda and lynn....ohhhhh these bitches are gay. i fucking love women. sexiest movie mayhaps. unfortunately loses points for the boring ass B plot featuring a man who has never eaten pussy in his life but it is what it is.

spiral: why did chris rock and max minghella fall in love right in front of my eyes. insane movie.

saw v: JUST beats out saw ii. hoffman and strahm's weird little relationship is very...."homoerotic tom and jerry" as milo described it and the final trap sure is Something. however what pushes it into fourth place by a slight margin is the way heterosexuality is queered. if you see it you'll know.

saw ii: amanda with her dykey little haircut caring for a teenage gay boy with daddy issues? they just don't make movies like this anymore.

saw vi: not particularly gay but amanda content...and more to the amanda/lynn of it all. love fucking lost.

saw vii: lawrence gordon you will ALWAYS be famous

saw iv: the start of hoffman and strahm's weird little thing and also the introduction of lesbian icon lindsey perez but has nothing else going for it.

jigsaw: there's a jigsaw fangirl in it who's definitely gay but otherwise this movie is so boring and the main characters are so straight and also deeply unlikeable. i don't even remember what happens in it tbh.
