“Cate Blanchett recently defended the right of straight actors to play LGBTQ characters on-screen, saying it’s something she’ll “fight to the death” for… and despite the growing feeling that queer characters should be played by queer actors, Blanchett doesn’t agree…”
“Straight actors are almost unanimously lauded for playing queer characters — 52 straight actors have been nominated for Oscars for playing LGBTQ characters — while openly queer actors find it hard to even be cast.”
This… is not a good look in the slightest. Nigga SWANDIVED into the misogyny.
Actually reminds me about what @sauvamente said about black men wig comedy. Like… this is the logical next step. Clowning black women for speaking up about things that affect them in ways that it doesn’t affect black men. He threw in the “yellowbone clone” line to make it seem like all discussions of colorism are a joke.
Does it surprise me that @meechonmarss reblogged this? No, because between all his “I’m quirky and depressed” content, he still voiced support for a man who proudly abused queer folks and black women.
Niggas stuck at Soci101 are always the first to call someone else fake woke.
didn’t he also make that homophobic/transphobic vid and used dyke in the caption
A Black man being misogynistic towards Black women:
in the same interviiew where brendon urie came out as pan he compared people protesting police brutality to roseanne barr calling a black woman an ape so imma need yall to do a lil bit of critical thinking before calling him a gay icon
Hey guys I just want to give a heads up. The book Adam by Ariel Schrag has been turned into a movie which has been named as one of the most exciting LGBTQ films of this year. I don’t want to spoil anybody’s fun but you should know before watching that the book is about a cis boy who pretends to be a trans man in order to persuade lesbians to sleep with him.
It is deeply deeply transphobic. It is lesbophobic as it features a corrective rape narrative (a lesbian does have sex with him and then decides she does love men after all).
This book gives out incredibly harmful notions about trans men and lesbians that are used to hurt them in real life. It’s so entrenched in the narrative that I don’t see how the film can be any better. You can find more info in this twitter thread
I’d like to tell people to boycott it but I can’t tell you what to do. So instead I’m going to ask that you share this because it being named as an exciting new LGBTQ film is going to make LGBTQ teens want to see it. And they should know before hand how hurtful it could be. They should be able to arm themselves with that knowledge.
