Truly growing tired of people being so media illiterate they have to like actually over analyze every piece of media cause they actually aren’t « smart » enough to just…accept something as « art » for what it is…including the time it was made…not to excuse anything but like Rocky Horror Picture Show was a counter culture, shocking, « disgusting » piece of media…ironically during the same overly puritanical time that seems to be coming back. Again, cause most audiences just sit and STARE and accept whatever they see, they go with the mainstream opinion and then go on to find something else to consume. How that era of Musical Theater were angry, horny responses to the restriction of heteronormative, evangelical ideology and queer phobia…

Whether it’s Jesus Christ Super Star, HAIR, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors…like even when you watch it how can people miss the OBVIOUS cultural commentary and fuck you??? EVEN GREASE KINDA!!! Omfg Frank n Furter IS/WAS/WILL ALWAYS BE so quintessential to my unapologetic queerness. Random but I literally want a song played at my funeral to be I’m Going Home…if at that point you don’t get Frank N Furter…get the fuck out the room!!!

Respectfully why do people need to problematize everything old nowadays??? Answer: the height of PSEUDO intellectualism. People feel late to the intelligence game (cause kids WERE left behind.) They feel late to the critic/discourse culture that really is DEAD. Swear to god, I’ll die for my terrible, ugly, problematic, angry, homosexual, hyper sexual, crazy ass media. If you can’t hang, drop off….

EDIT: AND LET ME ADD TOO THAT MY STRAIGHT (hmmm I’m rethinking a lot) WHITE DAD BORN IN 1963 WHOS OPENLY FAVE PREZS ARE NIXON AND TRUMP…STAY WITH ME!!! STAY WITH ME!!! A MAN LIKE THIS SAT ME DOWN AT LIKE 6 AND MADE ME WATCH THIS SHIT!!! I SAY ALL THAT TO SAY…a lot of these criticisms of older media literally just seem like tryna almost appropriate an assumed response of the time…when everyone kinda ate it up…lol
