I hate Ghostbusters fans because I commented “I want Egon and Winston to meet me in the back room” and now it’s a bunch of basic bird bitches in the replies stating how they only want Egon, we get it, you’re boring and you only like white men, bet you exclude Winston in fanart and fanfics too
I need to make more of my friends watch ghostbusters with me but I keep pausing the movie every 5 seconds to explain a niche bit of information about it nobody wants to know
Happy birthday to the GOAT!
imagine u meet louis de pointe du lac at the club and u offer him a sip of ur white monster and he says No thanks I already have one of those
Something to think about that I constantly do at least like once a day.
I think it's really crazy how this movie was supposed to circle around black people, but the Elmer's glue skinned people had to fuck it up by their crazy ass fantasies. "Sammie x Remmick" "Remmick x plantation owner daughter" "stack x smoke" I also seen "kkk member x reader" like what this actual fuck, shipping remmick with Sammie is one thing and outrageous but a kkk member is a actual different level of insane. I can't make anyone do anything but the least y'all could do is take that shit to ao3 so we have the choice to avoid it.
I mean we just can't have shit without White people fucking it up. They always and I mean ALWAYS find a way to make it about them. As expected we could have had something great I mean stack and smoke are right there why are not focusing on the actual fine shyt's. The internet always finds a way to disappoint.
Lewis being the first swearer of the season was NOT on my bingo card😭
Me looking at myself in the mirror at 3am after reading smut for 4 hours straight instead of sleeping:
i know i shouldnt be suprised but sinners being out for less than a week and already tumblr is fandomifying and 'poor wet pathetic cat'-ifying the main white man villain of the movie is so... disapointing??? like did the fucking point of the movie really go over your heads that badly or are you just willingly ignorant and stupid?
AND BEFORE ANYONE STARTS; im not saying you cant like remmick, he's a very interesting character, a great villain, and jack o'connell gave a great performance playing him, nor do i care if you think hes sexy, I think hes sexy
but i think to come out of a movie where vampires serve as a metaphor for how black american communities have the life sucked out of them by white people via cultural appropriation (remmick wanting to use sammie's gift to summon his own ancestors) and forced assimilation (all the turned vampires singing and dancing along with remmick's irish folk song and dance juxtaposed with the blend of cultures during sammie's song in the juke joint) and for your main take away to be 'aww the main villain is just a misunderstood sadboy' or 'idc abt the atrocities he looked sexy doing them (when the atrocities in question were racism)' then youre just being so disengenuous and antithetical to the whole point of the film?
and dont come at me with the 'let people enjoy things' bullshit, sinners is a movie FUNDAMENTALLY about racism and racial dynamics in the united states, and i do think focusing on your little y/n x [whiteboy of the month] fics and 'hes so babygirl' posts do actually stunt your own critical engagement with the message this movie was trying to convey to its audience
i think its also a disservice to remmick's character; the moral nuance that comes to light when you consider his position as an irish immigrant to the US, a victim of the colonialist british empire just like the black main cast (although in a very different way) and how, whilst his desire to reclaim his ancestry and heritage is understandable and even relatable, his pursuit of sammie and willingness to kill literally everyone else at the juke joint is allegorical for how, regardless of their own marginalisation, white people will prey upon and steal from black culture(s) and destroy/disenfranchise black communities to serve their own interests, and the movie is NOT subtle about this either, delta slim literally lays it out for us "white folks like the blues just fine, they just don't like the people who make them"
idk im yelling into the void here, the ppl im complaining about are never going to give a shit about racism or even just critically engaging with art when theres a new cute whiteboy to write fluff and angst about, but its just soooo annoying to see, yet again, how fandom spaces, which SHOULD be about uplifing and celebrating art in all its diversity and complexity, once again is nothing more than people ignoring anything that actually makes them have to confront reality and filing off the serial numbers to slot characters into pre-determined fanon molds so they can pump out incorrect quotes and coffee shop AUs en masse until the media iliterate heat death of the universe
me by the time this fuckass race ends:
