Look, I’ll never forget what my friend said when we were talking about how Harper is Clea’s self insert ergo: “We need to start a gofundme for the therapy bills of Clea’s exes” and they aren’t wrong lol. 

I've been stewing in my annoyance since I read that interview. I was ranting about it to one of my managers like twenty minutes ago and he was just laughing at how mad I am about it. It's mind-boggling to me that you make a movie that is that triggered so many people and pretty much everyone has agrees is garbage but on the other end of that you just dismiss everyone as dumb horny lesbians who don't know better. DROP A MOTHERFUCKING PIN CLEA. WE'RE DUELING.

I'm reiterating what I said earlier: y'all have to go and leave reviews/ratings for this explicitly saying what the issues were and lowering the average score it currently has in all the places where the 16 people who like it clearly went and gave their high scores. We've seen the polls. Those numbers don't reflect reality so we have to make them do it. It's the only fucking way we're going to force them to listen. This is getting a sequel. It broke all sorts of records at Hulu. I'd be SHOCKED if it doesn't. It's crystal clear that she didn't listen to us but the execs that might become fearful that people won't come back if she keeps this nonsense up might put some pressure on her. She shouldn't make an sequel that gives us shitty rep...again. That's literally the last thing we want.

Do you know how damaging it is that a queer director is out in the biggest trade publication all but saying that queer women are a group of idiots who can't have rational thoughts or criticisms? That we only care about who we want to fuck? She went out and with her whole entire fucking chest said that the VAST FUCKING MAJORITY OF THE AUDIENCE is just...wrong??? Bro...........I'm...do you know how infantilizing and reductive that is to us as a community??? To put our ability to rationally consume media like that? It's insulting as fuck. To all of us. We're not fucking children who think with our clits, Clea. What the actual fuck is wrong with her?

I mean...she literally explained why she's incapable of retrieving her head from her ass. She's spent "four years" with Harper. She refused to be unbiased about this because that's her self insert and if she admits Harper is a shit person then that means she is too. Fucking sad man. This is bigger than her and her ego but she's dismissing all of people's valid notes in the worst possible way.

She really did not listen. At all. Not one bit. She's just going to run off with her self insert and basically patronize the audience by condescendingly telling us that we don't know better and that the 84% of people who wanted Abby and Riley are just "horny for Aubrey".

That’s why as creators we sometimes have to take a step back and figure out what is best for the narrative instead of what feels best for our egos. Clea has straight up said she is Harper and that’s why all her bullshit was magically forgiven or just swept under the rug. I was having a lengthy conversation about the movie with a good friend from college last night and they said something that cracked me the fuck up. They were like “we need to start a gofundme to cover the therapy for Clea’s exes because if she’s Harper then they need it.” What a truth bomb.

Not that we need to reiterate this for the billionth time but...the issues with Harper are much bigger than this one scene. To try and reduce it to this moment and explain it away as if it suddenly makes everything better proves that she's just not listening to what any of us are saying at all. This is about more than the coming out storyline. Harper sucks beyond that plot and that one scene. The end.
