So, a cis male writer creates a TV show*** with a character that alludes to having an interest in being transfem, who is played by a cis man, and that TV character is being used by (cis) TERFs to portray trans women as fetishistic men because the TV character fits into a distorted, bigoted psychological theory penned by a cis man.
As usual, we have a long fucking chain of cis people talking shit about trans people with no actual trans people in the discussion.
***(The White Lotus)
This is the kind of shit that EVERY group of oppressors does to groups lower than them in the social hierarchy. They engage in long chains of distorted discourse about the targets of their prejudice which cobble together dehumanized, pathologized images of the targets of their prejudice. These distorted images are then used as justification for abusing the targeted group in question.
It's the same fucking pattern.
And fuck Mike White, his shitty TV show, and every cis asshole with an opinion.
It looks like Mike White wrote "Dispicable Me 4." I guess that's a sequel I'll never see.
Eh, whatever. The series already has 4 movies. I can't say I feel motivated to watch a fifth movie.
And critics gave it subpar reviews.
Plus, I remember the second movie being a racist disaster.
(EDITED: I initially said the 3rd movie. It was the 2nd movie that had racial stereotypes of Latinos.)
@timberwraith
It was? Oh dear. I don't remember that at all, not that you're wrong, just that I don't remember. It seemed cute and innocuous to me, but I have a history of missing things. My spouse really likes the minions so we watch the movies mostly for them, so maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
@intransitivelie I got sequels confused. It was actually the 2nd movie that had racial stereotypes of Latinos in it. I don't even remember the 3rd movie that well and misremembered the 2nd movie as the 3rd.
