@thedeadparrot@fanglitch.spac and *right* as everyone is reminded of the value of backups too 😔

@ysabet those all look really tasty! v curious about the dill pollen (is it actually pollen? what does it taste like??) and the fruit sugar

@hit_the_books it does seem rather in contradiction with their “we own the servers” principles

@twotone yeah it just felt like the author was falling for/perpetuating that marketing trend instead of critiquing it, when its the marketing and not the movies that are the issue

@twotone yeah its…i know a whole lot more women who dress like Michelle Yeoh’s character in EEAAO than dress like barbie

And I’m not saying that as a knock on barbie, but if the point is women wanting to see themselves realistically instead of through the male gaze I don’t think “make everything fuchsia” is necessarily going to solve the issue!

@twotone to make this point in a less pettily pendantic way, i think the author has two good points—people want more variety than just endless action flicks (agreed), and that women (or PoC) are expected to turn out for things catering to stuff catering to (white) men while their own interests are viewed as a “niche” marketing segment (i certainly do)

But they end up conflating the two in a way which fails to recognize any difference between surface level ‘fiiine i’ll put a girl in it’ representation and like, actual women being very into sff depicting themselves in sff

@twotone really not the main point of the article, but it seems like a massive disservice to describe Everything Everywhere All at Once as «a multiversal movie stuffed with fight scenes that happens to center a mother and daughter»

like if you can’t see how mother-daughter relationships *specifically* were central to the plot then idk what to tell you

@thedeadparrot thats such a cool tool!
