if i can be so real for a minute, the saltburn fandom is not very large and not very old... and yet i have had SO many odd convos. usually about farleigh but sometimes about other stuff. i've been called obnoxious so many times for mentioning everything that comes with farleigh's character but it's in the movie for a reason, man. i'm venting. "what does XYZ have to do with this?" bro idk maybe the fact that it was included in the movie, therefore i'm going to bring it up?

class, privilege, sexism, escapism, etc. are all important parts of this movie. so is race. i've gotten the most heat for talking about race and white privilege which is... not surprising tbh. sometimes i just want to be serious when everyone wants to be silly. if your silliness makes you apathetic to the rhetoric of the film and how some of it should be taken seriously... man. ouch. damaging to the psyche tbh.

a lot of the fandom is rly cool but ackkk i've been on my toes. i've been encountering some irl felix cattons...

#farleigh start #that tag is being used and ABUSED #saltburn #saltburn 2023 #were you silent or were you SILENCED #not to “make it a race thing” but cmon cmon it literally is a race thing #it has been a race thing since archie helped create the character #excusing oliver for murder or whatever whatever #but excusing him for taking advantage of marginalized people? wild #insane actually #he's a soggy flaccid piece of white bread #“but venetia and farleigh liked it” howling at the moon rn #about to unleash my inner alpha #felix got screwed over too #don't get me wrong #but at least oliver and felix were on something resembling an even playing field
