"Akshually Rocky Horror is problematic"
- Chronically online 15 year old who found out what Rocky Horror was an hour ago and it trying to get a head start on the contrarian bandwagon.
the fact there’s a sizable segment of modern “queer culture” that has actively turned on the rocky horror picture show, one of the landmark midnight movies, that celebrates every gay kitsch ive ever loved (b horror especially) confirms that “queer culture” is dead in the water
A lot of media is insensitive by today’s standards, but people refusing to understand media and the impact it made at the time is genuinely concerning. Like yes a queer movie decades old is probably insensitive but back then it was revolutionary for the queer community
a lot of people just judge older films through modern lenses instead of engaging with it in good faith and it sucks because a movie like that should feel like a milestone towards our current progress rather than something that upholds the current status quo.
people can moralize about this film all they want because this movie will forever be for the faggots and everyone else is powerless to do anything about it
not being able to look at a piece of media inscribed into its historical context and instead analyzing it by comparing it with today's standards is also a sign of media illiteracy btw
A federal judge has ruled that Texas’ ban on drag shows is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment, offering the following advice to those offended by drag:
“The solution is relatively simple ... just don’t go [to the shows].”

in tears thinking about when dolly said "you'll be this old one day!" expecting a laugh but sabrina immediately said "i know, i can't wait! i hope i look like you!" ☹️
Gen Z will never understand how weird and fun the internet used to be. We had personal websites, obscure forums, experimental pages, and bizarre corners of the web. Then Google, Amazon, and Meta turned it into an algorithmic shopping mall packed with ads and commerce.
