This just makes me sad. What a unique experience in American history to have had a thoughtful President, free of scandal and lecherousness. An island of reason in a sea of insanity. 

So basically when the audiobook drops; he will get another grammy.

Even if this wasn’t a presidential year, I would be surprised if there is a jurisdiction in this country that doesn’t have something important down ballot that would be worth the effort to vote in and of itself.

The same people that expressed outrage over this film and Cardi B’s & Meg’s WAP are the ones that voted for a man that said “grab em by the pussy” and has walked in on underage girls dressing for one of his beauty pageants and has done a host of other gross shit. I mean did these people say a damn thing when they were…

This film utilized actors in controlled settings to display something that was not actually happening.

It shouldn’t be lost on any of us that the GOP and Trumpers are using an oft-repeated tactic of conservatives dating back to time immemorial: whenever there is major social unrest over serious, substantive issues, bring up a bunch of bullshit and couch it as “Think about the children”.

None of these dolts gave a…

Looks like two completely different movies right? I don’t know how many people were responsible for this at Netflix (and the description for the movie as well), but they deserve all the derision and vitriol, not Doucoure. Netflix perverted it.

Thank you for writing this. This entire controversy is so stupid. I would say “if you don’t like it, don’t watch it,” but not one person who is outraged by this film has even seen it, so that’s pointless.

This literally and 100% could have been avoided if Netflix didn’t invent their own boxart to display the film like it was Bring It On with 10 year olds.

When Christina had Ruby work the dinner party, I was reminded of the Trinity sketches from ABLSS.

I really don’t think Tic gives af about his father’s sexuality. He cares way more about the way his father treats him like sh*t.

Montrose may have been lifted, literally, but he still has genocidal blood on his hands, among other negative things he’s done in his life, and a reckoning is coming.

Seeing Leti holding the baseball bat, shaking in fear of the man who she loves (maybe?) ready to use it if his anger turns physical, was VERY triggering to me. I’ve seen way too many variations of that scene play out IRL with my relatives and female friends.

The way I just cackled!

Drag queens have existed since the 1930s so they definitely could be and I would say ARE drag queens. They are going to entertain as exaggerated celebrities. That’s not to say some of them can’t be trans women in their daily lives. Sammy in particular dresses and lives as a man even in the privacy of his home and…

Were they trans though? I never thought they were, I assumed Montrose’s lover was gay and that group were drag queens. It’s like just cuz they had one trans character from the previous episode, everyone who dresses and looks like a woman is now trans? 

You’re not wrong. LGBT culture is not as clearly defined as all that, and while many drag queens have identified as different gender identities, many did not. It’s misrepresenting them to assign a transgender label to people within a culture when you don’t know that’s what’s going on, anda misrepresentation of what…

Absolutely—the fact that apparently Montrose’s love interest (from what we saw) also dresses as a cis man at home makes me think that even given the different times the term trans does not make sense for him. I think there’s a tendency (a very recent new one) to call drag queens (and I’m not even convinced this…

Unless I missed something during the episode, I believe Montrose’s lover is a drag queen and not trans.

I’m not an “art” person. Walking around in museums usually leaves me feeling bewildered (“Am I supposed to be feeling something right now?”) I have, however, always appreciated Basquiat’s work because it seems approachable on some level. It feels like a representation of life in a specific place, in a very…
