Dorian gray

i would’ve agreed with this if it wasn’t that david dawson is a gay man. harry hasn’t confirmed his sexuality and neither has louis tomlinson(but he’s persistent that he isn’t gay when this ship is brought up)

louis tomlinson gets annoyed when people say he’s gay - because, well, he isn’t. harry doesn’t label his sexuality but david is an openly gay man. which is why harry and louis’s situation is no where near the message of the film. and it is probably more relatable for david rather than harry. and well. it is literally a ship. people just speculate they had feelings for each other.

so it makes more sense to me that david finds this film more important because he is gay and struggled with it while growing up. so trying to twist the message of the film to fit harry and louis(people who are merely being shipped) doesn’t make sense and doesn’t justify cropping david dawson out when he’s the one choosing to spread this message for his own community - which makes me think it’s probably, actually, a little homophobic because he is one of the only gay actors in the film. about gay men. who weren’t allowed to live their life as gay men.

so, in general, i still think it’s disrespectful to crop a gay actor out of a film about gay men and the struggle to live as who you are.

i feel so bad for actors that work with other actors who happen to be shipped heavily with someone else bc of the way the first actor is having their face edited out of pics and replaced with the person the second actor is shipped with is so fucking annoying.

yes this is aimed at anyone who edits out actors who harry styles has acted with bc why are you editing louis’s face onto david dawson’s?? in a film with such a strong and powerful message?? like omg let queer actors and media LIVE and feed your fucking ship with real material and not disrespecting the other actor

i knew it looked familiar

reading more books about middle aged victorian homosexuals to distract myself from the economic state of the world :p

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

I lied, put your clothes back on. We’re going to talk about how the upcoming Netflix adaptation of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” completely goes against the meaning of the book. Oscar Wilde poured his heart and soul into this book to show an accurate representation of internalized homophobia, queer relationships in a time where it was frowned upon greatly, indoctrination, and so many other things of that nature. The fact that the adaptation is going to portray Dorian and Basil as brothers is absolutely disgusting, seeing as they are completely erasing the queer relationship between them. Oscar Wilde would be rolling in his grave if he knew this.
