The Sentiments "completely Sterilized Fiction Absent Of Any Of The Bad Or Evil Things That Happen In

the sentiments "completely sterilized fiction absent of any of the bad or evil things that happen in real life is neither inherently good storytelling nor morally superior" and "holy fuck you shouldn't be producing child porn" are not mutually exclusive and there is, in fact, nuance in the world

CAT FIGHT!! 😱

Anyways. What’s the best soup? If you say cream of mushroom or French onion I’m blocking you

Oky, but the Communist Party actively and violently supressed Taoists and Ari Aster is not launching a horrific and destructive campaign against the Mari people. I feel like it's a bit of an insensitive comparison to make.

Say, what China is doing to the people/culture of Tibet: they're not going to use  horror movies to change people's perception of Tibetans, they're literally trying to stamp them out of existence. I just don't get why you brought up this specifically as an example of how Midsommar is a harmful influence. 

I’m not disagreeing that certain uneducated people would probably conflate certain traditional clothing and practices with things depicted in the film (and make insensitive comments like “oh, like Midsommar, lolol”), but I also feel that Midsommar never advertised itself as an ‘accurate and historical depiction of X culture’ and the practices they showed that were horrific weren’t depicted as the actions of a sane group of people that have been traditionally practicing ritualized rape, incest, and otherwise as part of their native culture. These kinds of people would make insensitive comparisons of media and real cultures no matter what the intent of said media was.

broke: midsommar is a girl power movie

woke: midsommar is a horror movie about a manipulative cult

bespoke: midsommar is a litmus test to tell how easily you could be indoctrinated into a cult and if your first thought after watching it is that it was a girl power movie you’re very susceptible to cult tactics and you should be aware of that
