this "negative" review of guillermo del toro's upcoming frankenstein movie is everything to me

"The Mexican director has chosen to emphasise the romanticism at the expense of the horror. Elordi plays the creature as a misunderstood, James Dean-like outsider with Oedipal issues rather than as an agent of evil and chaos. Even if his face and torso are latticed with suitably grotesque scars, staples and stitches, he is not only the most sympathetic character in the movie but the best-looking one too. It’s left to Oscar Isaac to provide the real villainy as the brilliant but egomaniacal scientist, Victor Frankenstein..."

HELLO YES IT'S ME, MARY SHELLEY CALLING, JUST WANTED TO ASK IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN A GUILLERMO DEL TORO MOVIE OR... I DON'T KNOW... READ MY BOOK?

"The film lurches between scenes of lush romantic melodrama and moments of Grand Guignol bloodletting."

*bangs fists on table* SIGN! ME! THE! FUCK! UP!

"wah wah T is a controlled substance but E isn't"

And why do you think that is, friend?

Is it evil women keeping your healthcare from you?

Is it that men are so very very opressed?

Or was it the fucking heterosexual matrix informing a paternalistic healthcare system that is more interested in keeping us controlled than actually helping us manage our health with researched information and high quality medicine?

because anti-intellectual cis men who are trying to fulfil patriarchal ideals of masculinity started to abuse a substance?

which ironically created a black market (in Minecraft) I happened to benefit from when said paternalistic healthcare system was too expensive to be able to access injectable esters?

I am begging on my knees for people to do material analysis

fucking patriarchy is the problem here!!! the cultural worship of the masculine is the problem!!! Fuck sake!!!!!

the reason people have a fear of masculinity is because of its historical and contemporary assertion through unduly entitled violence!

and the use of conclusions-first bad science to justify and explain said entitlement?

Fuck!!!!!

brief examination of the transandrobros has them saying literally the same stuff as transfeminists

like. literally the same shit but in a different hat. except we are ontologically moving into the culturally transcendant position please move beyond your upset that someone used words you don't like and actually read what is being said.

Approach stuff with curiosity???

it's also really frustrating BC like oppression is multivalent and contextual

I have been afforded more respect by my cis boy peers because I'm Visually One Of The Lads Now but I still do not have the full right to call them out on their shit/I have to coddle them because of unconscious transphobia and misogyny and the threat of being labelled hysterical.

I am listened to more by doctors because I'm more confident now but that is also because of patriarchy. at the same time I'm also fucked over by like lack of doctors knowing how to offer me good reproductive health because trans medicine scary. Transphobia and misogyny.

like yes it's some bullshit our positionality isn't respected by the world.

But the fucking entitlement!!!! Cut it out!! Please!!!

like it's also wild BC like transmeninists are like We Don't Have Structural Power! And like on the trans axis no. But also so many of them are like I'm Not Soft I'm Not Gentle I'm Not Going Too Make Any Effort To Be Different From Prescriptive Masculinity???

Like my brother in oppression what the fuck are you talking about. "I'm a different kind of man by virtue of being not born one but also I eat stick and rocks and mud and I'm strong and fuck you I'm not going to be soft 😤"

Do you hear yourselves????

you cannot have it both ways.

also literally no one is asking you to be toothless. it's just can you point your teeth in the direction of the institutions, systems and people who are actually causing us physical harms rather than the women who are done with you getting upset about transmisogynistic hypervisibility working really hard to try and undermine the systems that are fucking all of us over???

Patriarchy is what you are angry about. The heterosexual matrix is what you are angry about. Trans women trying to do Material Analysis about why as a group they are harmed are not your enemy!!!!

I'm also seeing both "sides" complaining about the popularity of the "opposite" kind of gender affirming care. like do you know that you can google? You control the buttons you push? The internet is free? Learn to do research??

and I know that shit is harder now because search engines are shit but like. Take some fucking responsibility for yourself please.

It is nice and lovely when we can turn to community for help but like. you've also gotta try stuff for yourself? That's how we learn and become more capable? Fuck?

I'm really done with no one listening to each other or people ignoring what women have to say.

Tme/tma literally isn't a binary. lots of kinds of people are structural transmisogyny exempt.

6/7/2025

The National guard is being deployed to Los Angeles to support ICE.

Mask up. Black bloc. White citizens to the front.

ICE and the LAPD have been firing rubber bullets directly at protesters and utilizing weapons like tear gas.
