nah hes actually cooking here

🎃 cloveyween 🎃 (@clove.bsky.social):

depends which side of the knife he's on tbh

lizzie lizardskelly (@lizardskelly.bsky.social):

i think hes on the "u should be down with shitty fricked up queers as well" and i think that is a good take and i think jane is being unfair tbqhimongl

Maddie, Transsexual Problem (@maddiequestions.bsky.social):

idk seems like he's being weird to lesbians which really isn't his place to begin with

Maddie, Transsexual Problem (@maddiequestions.bsky.social):

also this is in a thread saying it's wrong to say RHPS is transphobic because it's meant to be politically incorrect and like lots of things are meant to be that doesn't make them beyond criticism. plus RHPS is transmisogynistic and the writer is transmisogynistic. how can he defend this?

Rocky Horror star Richard O'Brien defends saying trans women 'can't be women'

tbqhimhongl i have always felt alienated by this movie and its depiction of trans women and i get that its a cultural touchstone and an important movie in the queer experience but it definitely fricked with my dysphoria in some ways but idk it doesnt have anything to do with me being sapphic

"the *Western queer experience"

A lot of queers turn into Disney adults about their vaunted cultural touchstones

the number of trans women who have blocked and/or yelled at me for saying Silence of the Lambs is transmisogynistic. like sheer rage at the fact that it is transmisogynistic. i never even said not to watch it or that it should be burned, just that its portrayal of Buffalo Bill is bad!

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

o_O

Silence of the Lambs is transmisogynistic because it leverages transphobic, homophobic, queerphobic tropes

The entire series is a work leveraging "queer people are horrific"

A cishet cannibal antihero protagonist who tortures and kills queer coded villains directly or by proxy

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I don't see RHPS as transmisogynist b/c it's played as camp by the actors/actresses; also and because the work has been made a community property in all but title. O'Brien is a transmisogynist but the work's not his anymore. Whoever first threw a slice of toast in a Manhattan theatre freed it

Maddie, Transsexual Problem (@maddiequestions.bsky.social):

i disagree the portrayal is still what it is
