Something about the bastardization of the story time and time again proves that nobody in power really cares about the people who would resonate with King’s Carrie White. A girl so ugly and repulsive she’s been removed from her own story. The societal need for women and girls to be constantly perceived as attractive is what fuels a fair amount of her torment in the book, but that person isn’t even allowed to exist on the screen. We cannot empathize with her; it isn’t allowed. It’s fascinating to me.

The way the carrie adaption from the early 2000s is the only version that even came close ot wild. Even though she's skinny in that one too cause of course she is, at least they did something to make her looking mosey and muted. Story existed for almost 50 years and we still can't get a 100% accurate one

heres a thought : why does it have to be strap tho? Why cant said pretty girl be on her knees licking clit? So that the other woman IS actually feeling it? Why does it have to be strap? That's what I don't understand. That's what screams "internalization of heterosexual sex" to me

these people aren't lesbians, that's why. They're bisexual (if that, honestly I doubt most of them are even attracted to women) and romanticise faux lesbianism portrayed in media, the "uwu cottagecore baking cakes and frollicking in daisy fields" kind of lesbianism. Most of these lesbians are generally "pillow princesses" aka they dislike doing anything sexual for their girlfriend, APART from sucking the strap on and this is because that immitates straight sex, and since I don't believe they're lesbian, or even bisexual in cases, obviously that's what they're automatically attracted to. They want the big butch woman to fuck them with a strap on so they can imagine they're doing missionary with a man, and then they want to suck it/touch it because that imitates blowjobs and handjobs on men. Thry wouldn't lick or touch a clit because they're not attracted to vulvas.

Transitioning is about creating a new fantasy “self” as an escape mechanism.

not once in my lesbian life have I worried about my mannerisms being lesbian enough

“My prey is catching on to my presence. How do I disguise myself better?”

i do think what gets ignored about carrie as a character is that she’s an incredibly easy target to bully; she’s a chubby, sheltered acne ridden teenage girl who wears frumpy grandma clothes and regurgitates the jesus freak shit her violently abusive mother tells her. she has violent thoughts about her classmates and is uncomfortable to be around. she’s far more interesting being a victim that’s somewhat uncomfortable to be in the head of than a tragic waif. she’s not a martyr, she’s a child and a child who’s been victimised her whole life shouldn’t have to be kind and angelic to be recognised as a victim. suffering teenage girls shouldn’t just be presented on screen as toned down glamorous thin ophelias, suffering teenage girls can be fat and poor and think violently. i do think we need to examine why culturally we need teenage girls to be beautiful and kind to valorise their suffering and treat it as bad

the way people are like "the problem isn't the sex industry it's capitalism" explain to me how the sex industry would survive if every single prostituted woman right now no longer needed money. how does the post-revolution state plan to compel women to sleep with men that no one wants to sleep with.

i mean, there are a lot of jobs that are unpleasant but necessary. jobs that ordinarily people only perform because they're paid to do so, would become jobs people perform for the community. so are women expected to perform community maintenance sex in your perfect post-capitalist utopia or what

you can't girlboss your way out of the humiliation of performing femininity. miniskirts are supposed to humble you by having you stay alert to them riding up and exposing you. high heels are supposed to humble you by having you move carefully, wary of twisting an ankle (or stumbling and exposing yourself). make-up is supposed to humble you by having you control your feeding and resting habits, lest you smudge it. there's sexualization imbedded in them. they are SUPPOSED to embarrass you, because the ultimate titillation is the assertion of control over you. you can't desex them.
