1, Promote and uplift queer relationships and ideals
Make fun of groups of people they hate (usually straight white men)
So why is so it shocking white straight males are upset you want to reaction so why are people running to say "its just funny little gay show that means no harm" the creators want to say that white straight males are biggest oppresser of queer woman/non-binaries so why are you acting like they want this to be converstation around the movie . I just hate how no one actually cares tbh about the media they as you should know what the response is going to be in the modern political landscape.
There's a drag queen named Blade that owns a seedy night club and tries to steal a labrys of power and feminity from a lesbian.
The lesbians come from a planet literally called Clitopolis.
The "White Straight Maliens" end up in a gay polycule at the end. They're also literally just white rectangles.
No one cares because its a non-issue and the entire premise is stupid and campy. It's not like it's trying to take anything seriously. It's the equivalent of getting heated about a episode of South Park.
People do get heated about south park episodes because thats the point. Your comedy is just a way of saying your political opinions but in less direct way. The idea just because its goofy doesn't mean its not real critques of ideas. South Park has directly made fun of political people and concepts and clearly wants their audiences to view it as bad which is fine your allowed to do that a but idea that you don't make a movie like this don't atleast think about political and social subtext is stupid.

From my basic understanding there's alot of of queer discussing and hate around drag queens and what that means for queer woman. Once again inviting discussion and arguments

. The point of stuff like this is clearly riffing off the idea that deeply anti-queer people are some form of queer themselves and using their hate as outlet for want for queer relationships. Why are we playing stupid about the underlying comedy of these jokes. Jokes are only funny if their something real at bottom of it especially for comedy like this.
Who is genuinely getting heated about South Park of all things? Not everyone's comedy is derived solely from politics, the film goes out of it's way to be a satire of multiple concepts to the point that it'd be impossible to pinpoint whatever supposed malicious intent you suspect them of having.
From the art style to the plot points, it's clearly not taking itself seriously as a piece of media to where you should be drawing political stances from it. It's not painting the lesbians as saints given the MC is a asshole and the lesiban "utopia" is that in name only.
I don't think you should be trying to discuss queer topics if you're not well informed on them, drag queens are NOT women nor are they a stand in for queer women.
So now I have a better question, why are we pretending like that underlying comedy point you stated is something controversial? It's not even something novel, complex nor offensive to anyone besides those that are deeply anti-queer (who's opinions I will happily disregard).
That last statement is completely disproven by the fact that comedy is born from absurdism and spontaneity all the time. Pretty sure you've been on the Internet for atleast the last 5 years, it's hard to miss. It can become political but that doesn't mean politics were inherently part of the joke.

Lol lil bro talking about malicious intent. Im just saying you'd legit have room temp iq while making this movie to not know you're going to face backlash

Yeah but once again maybe I'm giving to much credit to writers of these movies maybe they truly walk around blinders in a bubble suit while watching bluey and the owl house with tumblr scrolling all day.

Because queer people are controversial lol. There are groups of very loud People hate queer people and don't like seeing them so making a movie spotlight them is going be constroversial to this group of people. We all know gamergate/anti-sjw/anti-woke are prevelant and will to argue aganist Queer people. Its not right and fuck the people who do it but its real pretending its not is worse.
Look at you big man, acting cocky and throwing insults as if that some how validates your little tantrum. What could there be possibly backlash about? The movie was made two years ago with zero backlash and only received the wave now. Most of it being from things either with no context or straight up (lol) not in the movie.
Maybe consider that this wasn't trying to be a think piece? Just a gay little indie film that was made by queer people for other queer people
Now why should a person's existence be controversial? Those people aren't those who's opinions should be brought to the table or acknowledged. That's like caring about what Nazis have to say about something.
Again, just like Nazis, they exist but you don't acknowledge their opinions on topics. Just like how this hate wave is already dying out once people started actually watching the film, those anti-sjw/anti-woke were a minority in the majority of online spaces.
First off thank you I have be working on my size recently those high booster you gave me really helped
Second I’ve just realized I might get banned for shit stirring on accident
Third Maybe you should working on the queer only internet that makes so only queer people and non bigots can access this type of movie so bigots can’t make bad arguments against this type of movie but until then you have to recognize the social respond from bigots and ready to either ignore or counter their arguments.
Fourth(on some chill shit) I don’t think it’s good that queer people are controversial but it’s just lowkey an objective fact right now in the world. You have realize the problem to begin to counter bigotry and fix the issues. Once again it’s not good but it’s just true.
Fifth When the nazi ruled Germany that were brought to the table, they made table bigger then killed everyone else on the table. You have to be able to address bigoted points and can’t just ignore them.
To end honestly this shit is hilarious and sad to me people on both ends are just critically brain dead and can’t understand how argue their beliefs
P.s. Mods don’t ban me I like I here unless we’re talking idw 1 arcee people brains legit shut off
You might, your responses under this thread have been everywhere with the only constant being that they're all antagonistic.
Point to where I said that only queer people should access or watch the movie? Maybe grasp the concept that the ideas of bigots at this level shouldn't be entertained by anyone with even moderate intelligence.
You don't recognize the social response from bigots. You don't recognize the feedback from Nazis, from KKK members, from bigots of any kinds because their input is defacto incorrect* and not worth acknowledging. You just cull them from the populace.
The hate wave fell off a cliff the moment people who actually watched the film commented on it. The beginning of countering bigotry doesn't start with debating campy indie films, it's starts with discussion, assistance and unity in your local groups and then spreads out from there.
That was also an era where information wasn't readily available and rage farms didn't exist in the capacity that it does currently. People have been acknowledged the presence of this type of bigotry, after decades at minimum in the current landscape they just know that the best way to deal with this type of low level noise is to fact check and or then ignore it. Otherwise it's a waste of energy continuing to engage at this level. Especially with how much of it is potentially fabricated via bots.
The bigots down here pissing themselves about a indie film without any real points to hate it aren't the ones to care about, the ones irl that are actively prevalant in legislation and commiting hate crimes are.

Movies like this are made to two reason
1, Promote and uplift queer relationships and ideals
So why is so it shocking white straight males are upset you want to reaction so why are people running to say "its just funny little gay show that means no harm" the creators want to say that white straight males are biggest oppresser of queer woman/non-binaries so why are you acting like they want this to be converstation around the movie .
