the proliferation of the michael myers head tilt across slasher movies (& occasionally other horror subgenres) is kind of wild. like, the scene of michael tilting his head while looking at a fresh corpse in the original halloween is generally interpreted (quite famously! there was that whole jordan peele interview about this!) as signifying a sort of naive confusion/interest, like as if michael is intrigued by death & trying to investigate it through killing. & of course it makes sense when ghostface does it since ghostface's whole schtick is enacting Movie Moments. but the result is that like, "tilting one's head" has now entered like, the visual lexicon of ""Intrinsically"" Scary Actions. like it's become a shorthand signifier for Thing That A ScaryGuy Does. so now we occasionally get slasher movies where the killer will literally just stand in place tilting their head back & forth repeatedly & looking ridiculous. Because This Is A Scary Action,

the human brain is so cool, if you're tired and stressed enough, your brain will go, "don't worry, I got you" and shadows will start moving

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

We gotta start calling it a sex change again to remind everybody you can change your sex

Obviously the old narrative/misconception about "having The Surgery" was uh. Stupid lol. The common refrain was "which one?" to emphasize transition doesn't work like that. But now we're living in "sex is an immutable Natural Fact" world and it's like well no actually. You're somehow wronger about how trans people's bodies work than you were before. There is no singular The Surgery because "sex" is made up of several different traits, nearly all of which are changeable, through surgery or hormones or even just exercising different muscle groups to change their appearance. "Buh chromosomes" you don't know what a chromosome is
