Smooleh Kat Shit

there’s a lot from the original heathers that doesn’t age well, but boy is this movie shaping up to be a fucking wreck. it’s essentially someone’s fantasy about killing people who don’t look or act like those in power. in the current world as it stands, it’s pornographic violence against minorities, and is the opposite of subversive. where the original heathers was “punching up,” this movie basically says “what if we finally got to kill gay people and people of color and fat people on screen,” as if it doesn’t fucking happen in person. this movie is a neonazi’s wet dream. two straight white people killing minorities? hmm why doesn’t this shock me.

this movie not only leans into the idea that situations of massive disadvantage are actually just “secretly positions of power,” (hi that’s an idea that nazis have) it relishes in the idea that they deserve to be killed for it. i know a lot of people are mad that this is ruining the whole vibe of the original, but please be more mad that this is an idea that went through many many many people and nobody stopped it. hollywood is promising us change and then gives us this bullshit?

please don’t go see this movie. don’t promote it. they get money from you watching the trailer and they get money from people who hatewatch it and they get money when you make fb posts about how much you hate it. so just like. turn ur back. let it die quietly, because the more noise we make about it, the more vindicated the creators will be - this idea that they’re “going against pc culture and being edgy and new and shocking” is a really popular farce to cover up “i’m actually invested in the status quo and used to cry when i had to share in preschool also even though i think i’m unique i have the exact personality of a rotten tuna sandwich” – so don’t give them a chance to cover their asses. just don’t fucking bother.
