Not quite.
“Woke” is an African American born and centered consciousness about how law and yt dominated society order and disorder the way we live and die.
There is no valid critique of that, rather how yt folks used it as virtue signaling without durable policy interventions
I find the “woke 1 was crazy” thing is pretty distasteful. We watched George Floyd get murdered on video, as he screamed and cried for his mother. The politics that came in response to that was an honest way of trying to combat the institutions that produced that outcome.
Netanyahu just said out loud
“As long as I am prime minister, there will be no Palestinian state.”
He didn’t reject a ceasefire clause. He rejected the idea that Palestinians get a state at all, ever, anywhere. There is no ambiguity left to hide behind. Genocide in daylight
I do think you can argue that the way audiences have reacted to Nikki and how they frame her as a horror icon is misogynistic and I’d agree with you; and I wouldn’t blame you if that informs how you feel about her coming to HHN! I was def surprised by the choice lol
I can empathize with why some people are against this. But I think “Freaky” Nikki is her own entity outside of actual Nikki. Also, LOTS of horror icons and monsters at these events are at least coded to be victims of SA or otherwise in their pieces of media
Tonally wise, this film was always destined for a HHN debut, it’s perfect for it. I feel like this is another case of a piece of horror media getting claimed by the internet and fans trying to dictate how to morally consume that piece of media.
I think some of you guys need to learn the difference between an antagonist, which Nikki is, and someone who is an evil person. Bear is the protagonist but that does NOT make him a good person, Nikki has now entered the realm of horror icons, it does not mean she’s evil
Many are missing the point that while yes, it would be great if the film actually ends being decently successful at the box office, the main issue was that a fully completed movie people spent time on was going to be written off for taxes and locked in a vault to NEVER be seen.
Ik it’s a heavy topic but since last year there’s been a disturbing trend of apparent lynchings being brushed off as su!cides w suspiciously fast investigations. All victims being non-white, grand majority being Black.
This shit should anger y’all.
