the second thread got jannied lmao

Review bombed 100%, homophobic reactions to the kiss at the end it's not a coincidence that 90% of the 1/10 reviews are from Saudi Arabia. Like seriously how does this episode have the worst rating compared to the previous one.

What about Laenor and his lover getting intimate? The show was not review bombed at all for that. Don't know if that is consistent with what the root cause for these negative reviews.

:#marseynoooticer: most peculiar huh?

I imagine some of the bomb ratings are homophobic but some are because of the bad writing. I would give it a 7 maybe because it's too slow, Daemon should've been in Harrenhaul for 2 episodes 3 at a push. Rhaenyra being annoyed at her son who is only trying to advise her and then goes seeking validation from a stranger who helped usurp her a matter of weeks ago. I couldn't really care less about the kiss but I'd like for it to be viewed for what is is, a mistake on Rhaenyra's part and the beginning of her downfall. And also we get this instead of a cool scene of Addam and Seasmoke or maybe Helaena visiting her sick husband's bedside or more Corlys ffs.

Lmao

I'm more surprised there's even that many folk watching it in Saudi.

Hey Sauds: Emma D'Arcy uses they/them pronouns, and Abigail Thorn (head of the Triarchy) is trans. Grow up.

Brainrot Level: Metastatic. You have to be something to play something on screen. Or that anything you do on screen can be justified by your real life.

I wonder what these r-slurs would think when they find out the lover of the trans man in Boys Don't Cry in real life was actually a chuddy af trailer trash chick who told Hilary Swank's character to frick off when she found out that he was a she (and was absolutely involved in the r*pe/murder to a certain degree)

Bbbbut my fairy tale trans love story movie which propelled me to come out as traaaans :soycry:

!chuds !dramatards if JK Rowling is so transphobic, why did the irl actors who play the good guy in her movies bash her for her views but literally Voldemort came out in her support? Is she a Giga-dramatard? :gigachadqueen:

Brandon is remembered as a skillful seducer of young women. And rightly so. The documentary gives us a Teena who seduced one very young and inexperienced woman after another. We can get some concept of just how sexually inexperienced these girls were if we consider their easy acceptance of Teena as male despite his primitive attempts at concealing his breasts with elastic bandages and giving the impression of a peepee by stuffing his crotch. His former fiancée, Gina Bartu, repeatedly answers, "I have no idea!" to the question of whether he used a dildo to achieve intercourse with her. The idea of touching a male peepee with her hand seems inconceivable to her, even when that peepee is penetrating her body. Obviously, Brandon's girlfriends were not women who thought of the male body as a pleasure source to be touched and explored. Nor were they women who expressed their own sexuality in any way other than by submitting to male attention. In fact, the interviews reveal that most, if not all, of these girls considered romantic cards and presents of flowers and jewelry the primary way a boy could give pleasure to his girlfriend. It says a great deal that the girl Brandon pursued at the roller rink in his first public appearance as a boy — a magical, romantic scene in the film — was then only thirteen years old.

More disturbingly, Teena seemed to specialize in stealing from desperate girls who regarded him as their only chance at escape from rural poverty. His collection of trophy-like photographs of these people, whom if he were biologically male we would probably refer to as his victims, sounds a sour note inThe Brandon Teena Story. So does the reason Gina Bartu gives for breaking the engagement: because he stole her credit card and used it to buy the ring. Boys Don't Cry, in contrast, equates Teena's murder with the death of Tisdel's hopes of a new life in a less brutishly backward environment. But would the real Teena have actually rescued Tisdel from poverty? He was certainly not above profiting from her financially, as his habitual forging of checks stolen from his girlfriends shows. Because the position from which I analyze, I do not consider Teena an immoral person because he apparently seduced all the girls he could. Nor do I heavily condemn Teena for non-violently taking what he could from these gullible people.

:marseythinkorino:

Before filming Boys Don't Cry, director Kimberly Peirce declined to interview Brandon Teena's mother, JoAnn. JoAnn was upset about the oversight.

Peirce has never given a reason as to why she made this decision, but while speaking with the Los Angeles Times, she said that she wanted to allow "the myth to take over."

:marseythonk:

JoAnn, Brandon Teena's mother, was upset that the filmmakers failed to explain that for several years when Brandon was a young girl, he had been sexually molested by a man. JoAnn said that "Teena" sought counseling in 1991, and began to dress in men's clothing and date women as a defense strategy. "She pretended she was a man so no other man could touch her," JoAnn said in an Associated Press article.

prosecutor in charge of the criminal trial, Jim Elworth, wrote in an email...national media has focused attention on the wrong aspects of Brandon's story. He doesn't think that Brandon was genuinely transgender. He knows this flies in the face of every common assumption over the last two decades. "It wasn't a 'sexual identity crisis,'" he said. "That angle is so overblown. It's just not accurate if you look at the facts. She went to Falls City and pretended to be a male because it made her popular." Elworth clarifies that LGBT issues are important, and said, "It's a legitimate issue, but it wasn't her issue."

Hmmmm....

In fact, Brandon was not the only one murdered. There were three murders on New Year's eve in that Humbolt farmhouse. Lisa Lambert lived in that house with her toddler, Tanner. She worked as a nurse's aid in the nearby nursing home, and in a local bar on nights and weekends, struggling to get by as a single mother. Lisa had been Brandon's girlfriend, briefly; Brandon had wanted to adopt Tanner. But Brandon's eye wandered. He borrowed Lisa's car and drove into Falls City to go out with other girls. He lied about where he'd been. Phillip DeVine was a black man who dated Lana Tisdale's sister Leslie. DeVine had a fight with Leslie so he had come to stay with Lisa.

When word got out that Brandon was pressing charges, Lana Tisdale told her sister that Lotter and Nissen were threatening to put a knife in Brandon.

Ya, how did the two guys figure out where Brandon was hiding?

It's like nooooticing after nooooticing.
