obviously it can recontextualize an artist's work—i'm a lot more critical of rowling's naming choices given her proven bigotry, for example—but you don't have to absolve your guilt from having connected with a work from someone you had no idea had done something bad by pretending like you never did

i hate the tendency people have to go "oh everything they made was always terrible actually" every time an author or artist is revealed to have done something bad. bad people can make good art!

oh yeah 100% my point is that it's more vibes based than anything you can strictly define

may @maysuser.name · 45m
imo it's an incredibly slippery slope to try and strictly define sexuality by who you're fucking, labels are vibes

you'd think trans women would understand how someone could have sex with someone without necessarily being attracted to them given all of the sexual pressures we face

It's only a Collector's Edition if it comes from the "Includes The Game" region of the store, otherwise it's just sparkling Merch.

collectors editions not coming with games is totally fine as long as they're clearly labeled and you can buy the game physically

trans spaces are not representative of trans people at large by virtue of selecting for people who want a separate space focused on transness to begin with

fetishizing other trans people's bodies, presuming sexual availability because of their transness, encouraging/discouraging surgery based on personal sexual preferences to the point of cutting women off after getting bottom surgery are just a few I've personally seen and/or experienced

I posted this before seeing the whole thread but I do still think that the way that straight romance and the women who read it are talked about is incredibly reductive and unhelpful

may @maysuser.name · 3h
ngl the way that chaser behavior is frequently excused and even venerated when it comes from other trans women is incredibly depressing

may @maysuser.name · 3h
there's a lot of straight romance with incredibly fucked subtext don't get me wrong but also plenty of straight romance without that subtext, and "these poor women don't even realize what they're reading" is the kind of take that would be rightly lambasted in any other context

may @maysuser.name · 3h
"llms could generate a romance story less regressive than straight romance" is this really the angle you want to take here

talking about other people's transitions and especially surgeries in context of you wanting to have sex with them about it is incredibly fucked behavior ngl

i think if your response to sexual abuse coming to light is to go "i always knew" you're an absolutely terrible person and perpetuating the exact social structures that enabled said abuse in the first place

it's still genuinely wild to me that patient zero wasn't intended as a tie in for verity, like what do you mean the music video has a similar aesthetic, plot, and also stars dakota johnson

ngl it makes me deeply uncomfortable how many trans people view (for lack of a better term) cisnormative gender presentation as intrinsically less authentic and honest than visible queerness

the critics once again do not understand Colleen Hoover; Verity is the most fun I've had at the theater all year
Movies don't have to be good to be fun and Verity is an absolute blast. I've long professed my unguilty pleasure for Colleen Hoover's work and their adaptations—Watching Reminders of Him was the most emotional I've gotten in a theater all year—and I'm pleased to say that Verity is another slam dunk.

Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson are some of my favorite actresses and any film centering them was always going to work for me. At one point Dakota's character describes herself as having "resting bored face" and it's the perfect encapsulation of her entire acting career. And for a film like this one, it absolutely works. Her performance feels perfectly uncomfortable and offputting, and I found myself giggling through the entire third act. Anne isn't given as much to do here, but carries the presence required to make this role work. Josh Hartnett does his job as eye candy admirably, and the chemistry between all three is some great work.

There are some incredibly funny reading montages all over this film. It's one of those things that doesn't particularly translate from book to film, but ends up working quite effectively to set the tone. If you let yourself get taken along for the ride, what's here is a lot of fun. There also might be my favorite needle drop in a film all year, which makes the scene it plays in feel so uncanny that it looped back around to being a lot of fun.

We need to do something about the online personalities who keep showing up in films. I didn't think it could get worse after two separate films featuring Anthony Fantano released within weeks of one another, but back to back Alex Cooper and Sean Evans cameos almost broke me. The final shot of the film made me laugh out loud, it's some absolutely incredible work.

Verity is among the most fun films I've seen all year. On a technical and critical level it can best be described as barely competent, but as a piece of entertainment I had an absolute blast. It's the perfect movie for Dakota Johnson—an …

true, for me it's more for a game this long constantly switching things up is what makes it work for me so if you're going to bring everything together for more than a few hours after I've already dumped so much time into the game I get burnt on it
