luv u ?

white female directors have some nerve complaining about lack of gender diversity when it comes to filmmakers and then proceeding to make movies with all white casts. i honestly couldnt even finish lady bird because i kept thinking about much better it would have been if it was about a black girl. or a latina. or an asian girl. or literally anyone else that wasn’t white. how many more ladybirds and booksmarts and edge of seventeens are we going to have to endure before white women realize that movies starring them are not revolutionary. the quirky white girl coming of age movie thing is tired. until white female directors can come up with something else or at least cast some poc in their films, then i won’t advocate for them and they can keep flopping for all i care.

NOT TO MENTION, the poc they do include as side-side-side characters are just shitted on. like lady bird (2017) was already WACK but then as a cherry on top greta gerwig was like “okay! ill have my main character say this racist ass affirmative action line to her adopted asian brother bc shes angry! and white woman anger: GOOD” girl WHAT?? like way to tell the audience to their Face that This Movie is for white girls ONLY, and then literally the SAME type of shit with edge of seventeen (2016) where the main girl would just say borderline Racist ass shit to the asian love interest but it was played off as cutesy jokes so like how about you all just stop and talk to some Real black, brown, and asian people and then get back to us with your revolutionary ideas
