i think parts of this argument — that they shouldn’t have curves, that they shouldn’t express any hint of queerness (though like… i don’t know if regina is really embracing queerness by making direct fun of janice’s sexuality to the whole school and then calling her a pyro lez in the burn book. outside remarks from known lesbian renee rapp should not be taken as actual character canon)— are honestly from a bygone era.

i read an interview with tina fey recently where she said that regina would understand that homophobia and slut-shaming in a modern high school setting would not actually allow her to maintain her queen bee status, and from what i see of gen z, that is absolutely true. high school and what it means to be popular is different now than it was in the early aughts. the outfits the plastics wear throughout the film are en vogue right now, and being a size zero isn’t really in (though of course none of the plastics are actually /fat/ because we still have a long way to go irt fat phobia, but i don’t think bullemia is in the way it used to be).

also “this is modern feminism talking, i expect to rule the world in shoes i cannot walk in” always felt like tina fey’s own internalized misogyny than anything karen was actually thinking. it’s a dig at women who conform to standards set upon them in the workplace who dare to believe they can get anything done in stilletos because tina wears chucks and always has so why can’t other whiny women. sexy in general is a dumb song (i also honestly believe the movie did a lot better with it than the musical which just stops everything for sexy corn) but that line in particular is just. yuckkkk.

at the end of the day tho yes we should be having a discussion about the problems that gen z does face but a movie adaptation of a broadway musical adapted from the 2004 teen comedy mean girls is maybe not the perfect space to do it.

this post is not gonna be well put together but i am having feelings

mean girls is trending right now because the musical movie just came out and i feel insane. idk why i do, it was stupid of me to think that most people Got It, no one ever gets it, it was always about the memes and the aesthetic.

the first mean girls movie was based on a nonfiction book called queen bees and wannabes. it interviewed and discussed the social caste system in teen girl friendships. how they hold each other to these insane standards of heternormative femininity out of sheer terror that they won't meet those standards themselves. the way they leverage their relationships for some small degree of power in a world designed to strip them of it, even if it drags other girls down.

the "you can only wear your hair in a ponytail once a week and on wednesdays we wear pink" speech was not an original creation for the script. it's a QUOTE from a real teenage girl. those were REAL RULES.

then the musical came, and it was one step removed from the intended messaging of the film. OG mean girls was not perfect (and was extremely racist), but it said what needed said. the musical leaned on the comedy more, but still left a heartfelt undertone, and still critiqued the systems in place. of course no piece of media is going to be perfect, but it was about the conversation.

then this new movie comes out and it is washed over in the veneer of white hollywood feminism so thick you can't see anymore. the problematic aspects of the original movie are taken out to avoid "offending" when the offense was the point. it becomes toothless, it becomes some other thing entirely. they changed karen's line "i expect to run the world in shoes i cannot walk in" to "watch me as i run the world in shoes i cannot walk in." because choice feminism is in vogue, suddenly this character whose entire point is that she doesn't think deeply about WHY she does anything is suddenly hip to the fact that the world is against her.

i think of sokka losing his misogyny arc in the new atla. i think of the Heathers remake casting the bitchy, identical heathers as queer and hollywood-fat outcasts. as if the story, the meaning, the allegory is hidden in the sets and the jokes and the music. it's a whole new thing now, and it's a thing that means nothing in particular.

the plastics should not wear jeans. they should not have curves. their queerness should be suppressed, painful. their sexuality is not a slay, it's the only thing they think they have of value. the santa dance isn't sexy, it's shocking, it's mortifying - they are children.

they're not mean because "we are all mean." they are mean because they are girls in a world that brutalizes them and crushes them into a standardized shape. they are mean because the world is mean to them. they are mean because it gives them some power back. they are mean because it's the only weapon they have.

the landscape of femininity today has shifted to camera-ready makeup at the age of 10, stringent performative hygiene standards, and avoiding being caught on film while having a genuine emotion. the consumerism, the fatphobia, the racism, the classism, the homophobia remain. We could have had a conversation about that.

This is kinda what happens when a straight person makes a movie “for the gays” tbh. Like, Regina and Janis are fan favourites so they get all the attention and focus at the expense of Cady, but since Cady is still the lead character nothing really works or comes together. The lines in ‘Apex Predator’ where Cady starts to covet Regina’s social power and her own newfound status (“and though Janis is great, she does not have this power, people literally cower, Janis can’t do that!” and “And it’s kinda fun when she bares her claws, when I’m safe because I’m with the apex predator!”) are instead given to Damien and Janis for no reason other than that they know that Janis and Damien are the fan favourites, so Cady’s entire villain arc (basically the main plot of the original movie) happens during Revenge Party instead. The giant Regina-Cady confrontation that the whole movie has been leading up to literally happens silently in the background of Janis’s big final song, we don’t even get to see them fighting. And then the rest of the movie after the bus accident focuses on Cady, which makes the whole ending boring and unimportant because Cady is barely a character in this movie.

Meanwhile, they like Regina so much that they sand her down into a nothingburger of a character who is barely a villain at all. I remember watching the original movie and legitimately kind of hating her and being on Cady and Janis’ side when they were trying to ruin her life before coming to feel bad for her by the time the sweatpants scene happens because that’s the emotional journey the movie takes you on. But instead in the musical I mostly felt bad for her right away because she comes off as way more down-to-Earth and desperate to be liked from the getgo. “Someone Gets Hurt” in the stage production is a joke about her pretending to be caring and multifaceted when really she just wants to claim Aaron as her property and rub it in Cady’s face, but I swear the movie plays it like she’s genuinely worried about being liked and insecure that Aaron might like someone else more. Watching them turn her friends against her and mess with her weight reads as cruel right away because of this.

They even sanded down all the homophobia to an extent that makes me genuinely feel insane. Kids are still homophobic! It’s still a huge in-your-face issue!! Like, homophobia today isn’t just kids wearing pride pins in order to be an ally to your face while calling you an obsessed lesbian behind your back, they will still spread rumours about your sexuality and call you a dyke or a faggot to your face. Most gay kids are still closeted in high school, or are just uncomfortable talking about their sexuality for fear of retaliation. I don’t want to bring down the mood, but there are still so many cases of teens (both girls AND boys) committing violent hate crimes against queer teens in real life right now, and updating your movie to make the homophobia less severe to reflect modern times is just a rejection of reality.

Making Janis an out lesbian and switching the homophobia she endured (“I think you’re a lesbian” and “they spray painted Space Dyke on her locker”) to calling her a “pyro-lez” one time, having Regina be outwardly accepting of her being queer but mock her behind her back, and finally switching up Regina’s last homophobic insult to instead be about Janis’ art and supposed pyromania is Not more progressive, it’s just making a complicated narrative more basic and unchallenging to make it into more palatable content-paste.

Which is an issue across the board imo. Every slightly racy or shocking joke is ground down into something easier to swallow. “Sexy Rosa Parks” becomes “sexy Joan of Arc”; “I expect to run the world in shoes I cannot walk in” becomes “Watch me as I run the world in shoes I cannot walk in” because god forbid we don’t constantly validate everyone all the time and instead engage in the actual critique of “Sexy”, which is that it’s silly and unreasonable and kind of horrifying that we push this standard of “be a girlboss leader and ALSO be hot and fuckable at all times” on teenage girls. I don’t even necessarily like all those shocking jokes or weird political interludes (absolutely despised that “amateur tweens” joke from the stage show) but it’s so so clear that they erased all of them to make the movie more palatable for a wider audience rather than any moral judgement.

Also it just fundamentally messes up a lot of the jokes and comedic timing from the stage musical and the original movie in completely incomprehensible ways to me. Cady cutting off Aaron in the middle of talking about sports to address the audience about her sad history with love and romance because she’s clearly not listening to him is hilarious, but instead the movie has him finish talking to her and having a beat of silence before she starts her song, and it’s all just so awkward. Same with the music, so many of the instrumentals are taken away to make the songs sound less like a classic musical and more like a series of pop songs, but that doesn’t work with how lyrically verbose they are; so in a song like Rather Be Me, they’ll play like one bassy cord every ten seconds while Auli’i basically sing-talks ten sentences acapella, and it’s just baffling.

Randomly watched the new Mean Girls movie and I will say I was pleasantly surprised at how much it made me appreciate the original stage production of the musical because they somehow did it so much worse lol. Like I thought the original musical was just okay, but now I see how great it was in comparison to what it could��ve been. Auli’i was great tho

Me: I love girls. 19

Idiot: Niece says she was always bi.. Do u love guys? Why. I'm from usa but she was adopted into US long ago from Asia~she is very mixed sweetheart teen beauty..

Me: OH COOL I'm adopted from China! That's amazing! Tell her there's a group off of Subtle Asian Traits on Facebook called Subtle Asian Adoptee Traits

Idiot: Haaha no way👍😄😍🌷   👍ok I will

Idiot: Piao liang nu hai" she says *blowkiss*

Me: Lol

Me: Why are you so close to your niece that she is watching your dating profile?

Idiot: Why not?- she loves pretty girls lol - especially your .."amazing pics",.. We often girl-watching together lol. Dui- lol You are sexy teen model for sure!", she says~💕😍😘👍

Me: But like your niece shouldn't be seeing any of this is a minor. How old is she. I just want to make sure there's nothing bad going on here.

Idiot: See what?? Lol ppl chatting?? Hahaha. Bad?? Huh?? What r u talking about?

Me: Well no no haha you know what i mean

Idiot: She talks to people every day...- don't u ? No clue wats wrong...in u..

Me: I just found it initially weird for like family members to be looking on one dating site.

Idiot: Lol r u ok??

Me: Like i keep my dating life private. Especially if they're younger than me

Idiot: Nah it's normal typical dear 👍

Me: Alright.

Idiot: 🌻sorry but u seem a bit off lol. Odd*

Me: Alright whatever. I'm a mechanical engineering major. I was raised to just be cautious about finding things I feel odd with. So i'm expressing my opinion.

Idiot: Families always talk & laugh about each other's dates in life.. Lol :);)

Me: Also i'm trying to be cautious because i'm talking to an older man. A straight older man.

Idiot: We share ur opinion...-right back at you..:) lol. Why cautious?? That's the safest type of person: older str8 male lol everyone knows that.

Me: Women are seen as objects sometimes in society. So I've been raised to just be cautious with older folks

Idiot: Haha how "old" do u imagine I am?? Lol :)

Me: I am having a civil conversation with you aren't i? It says youre 29. Meaning you've got a job or a career and such and I'm still in college

Idiot: Yes boys r typically objectified- true so guys r raised to be cautious-- ESPECIALLY dealing with younger females. Of course. A lez girl. Huh?- r u civil? Lol

Me: Please don't mock me.

Idiot: What..?- career/ college-?? Huh? Ur mocking me

Me: Let's start over. Hi, this is Mary. I've been on dating sites for 2 years. I'm 20 years old, about to be 21 in April

Idiot: I'm far too mature to "mock" others.

Me: I consider myself to be a lesbian, only interested in other girls

Idiot: Obviously- since I'm more more mature

Me: I am adopted from China. I love video games, ice skating, playing ukulele

Idiot: Why lez?

Me: Sir, i would kindly suggest following what I am doing here and trying to start over.

Me: I am lesbian because I like girls. Girls are attractive to me. And men are not

Idiot: Yes u should follow my lead. I agree

Me: Why are you straight then?

Idiot: I obviously know Wat lez means; again, I asked u why u made that choice.

Me: It was not a choice. Does your niece say being bisexual was her choice?

Idiot: Hetero is pre-programmed / automatic. Yes if course she chose. As she clearly says. Same as most lesbians say same: choice. Of course it is. U can choose guys anytine u want. I'm sure u soon shall. 💕👍

Me: Please respect my "decisions" and "choices"

Idiot: R u suggest I g u don't? I never said that. Pls stop assuming u know me. Xie Xie

Me: Okay i'm sorry for my assumptions

Idiot: Ur choices r urs.  Obviously. U chose chicks. For a bit. Commmon phase. Especially at ur age group. Very typical

Me: I would feel much more comfortable if you could not suggest that I made a wrong decision. Temporary or not. So your niece will go back to being "straight"? then?

Idiot: I never said that either. Gee- why r u so disrespectful of me? Ur kinda odd kiddo :) lol. Why so many "quotation marks"-?? Hehe

Me: You said "common phase." ”Chose chicks. For a bit"

Idiot: So ur not sorry for assuming. Please just stop it

Me: I did not choose for a bit. So you assumed I chose for a bit. Which is wrong

Idiot: Yes of xcourse u chose.  For a season.

Me: Not for a season

Idiot: U can easily choose to go with nature

Me: Nature for me is to be with girls. Straights are the weird ones imo

Idiot: Instead of choosing against.

Me: I like going against. It's freeing and natural

Idiot: "Straight"= normal. Obviously lol

Me: So what do you think about your niece? I'm just curious

Idiot: Look at all of nature, reproduction, animals, insects- everywhere...- even much of plant life.  Lol. Why r u asking me what her future sexual choices will be?? Lol so weird...

Me: So what do you think about your niece's choice? I'm just curious. Can't I be weird?

Idiot: What is "freeing",- exactly? Can i-?? Ur question is obviously misguided,& this waste of time.

Me: Honestly. I wish I could have changed your point of view. This was a waste of time. I pity you.
