alex strangelove was one of the best films I’ve ever seen and it deals with both internal homophobia and casual pressure/homophobia in a high school environment and y'all are shitting all over it bc
1: “DeLL wAs HoMopHoBiC/BiPhObiC/tHRew A PedOpHiLe oRgAniZaTiOn iN wiTh LgBtQ+ sExUaLiTiEs!!!”
uh, yeah. unfortunately, most high schoolers are like that and the fact that you think that should be erased and therefore undermine the struggles lgbtq+ youth suffer through so the kids look like they’re being overdramatic and are overreacting is more disgusting than some of dell’s statements. his character arc was also wildly realistic (homophobia in the beginning but cheering and pumping his fist and smiling when he sees alex kiss elliot) and it’s ridiculous that y'all aren’t satisfied when given actual true-to-life rep of teens and humans and how they work bc showing gay youth that they’ll absolutely get no homophobia is unrealistic (unfortunately) and damaging to them and their mindset of their sexuality
2: “CLaiRe wAs hOmOpHoBiC tO ALeX aT tHe eNd!!!”
well duh lmao if I had been dating my favorite most trusted person in the world and they told me they weren’t in love with me and never had been and never would be capable of doing so I’d be a bit taken aback and shook as well honestly her reaction was accurate and expected
3: “nEtfLiX Bi-bAiTeD uS!!! wE nEeD mOrE ThAn ciS WhiTe gAy bOyS!!!”
again, we’re talking confused and confusing high schoolers here and obviously bisexuality isn’t just a stepping stone into homosexuality but identifying as bi sometimes does help teenagers become more comfortable with their sexuality. yes, I agree we need more PoC and lesbian/pan/ace/bi/lbtq+ rep, but we also need more gay rep. the film industry is (obviously) so dominated with heterosexual cis relationships that gay rep is a huge win for the community bc we need it. it’s huge progress, and especially when in such a realistically portrayed high school environment!!! plus creating more realistic + beautiful lgbtq+ films like alex strangelove and love, simon might be a stepping stone into the + part of the acronym!!!
I can’t believe we got a beautiful, accurate portrayal of internal homophobia in lgbtq+ youth today and their struggles to explore and discover their sexuality under social pressure and homophobia and y'all are complaining. it’s a beautiful film and I loved every second of it.
Gru is the most powerful being in the universe, and here’s why: according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.
