The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

[ixalit]

*Trigger Warning* Why is The Rocky Horror Picture Show popular with the kinky and queer communities? I'm not part of those communities and I don't get it, please explain. It seems to me to be a story in which the kinky queer people are literally not human and try to recruit (and arguably rape by fraud) "normal" people.

Yes, but it’s also a story where kinky queer people are powerful and cool and sexy and fun, and ultimately the straight characters sing about how much freer they feel in a corset fishnets pool orgy.  (And then the house, uh, is a spaceship and it takes off?  Okay.)  It’s also relevant that the movie was written by a nonbinary person; I think the intent was not to demonize kinky queer people, but to tell a story featuring them that also had elements of classic schlock horror and sci-fi movies. 

And remember that this was the 70s, when sympathetic queer characters were thin on the ground, the distinction between “transvestite” and “transsexual” was not crisply defined, and the popular understanding of the difference between “seduction” and “rape” was even less nuanced than it is today.  (Also, the “homosexual agenda” narrative of gay recruitment wouldn’t come around until the 90s.)  This doesn’t make everything okay but it’s important context.

And I’d argue that some of the bad stuff in it is intentionally transgressive–isn’t saying “people who don’t conform to traditional gender and sexual roles are dangerous perverts,” but “you think we’re dangerous perverts? oh honey, you have no idea.”

Yeah, I’m defensive.  This movie means something to me, on a level that’s not apparent on the screen, because I started going to midnight showings when I was fifteen.  And it–counting the audience participation and shadow cast, because you really have to, there’s no point to watching this movie quietly at home–was probably my first experience with queerness being fun.  I already knew it was possible to not be straight, but only as a tragic existence condemned to the shadows.  Rocky Horror wasn’t the first time I learned two men could kiss, but it was the first time I saw two men kiss in front of a crowd that was cheering them on.

So, okay, not “therefore, Rocky Horror is flawless, QED,” but that’s why people like it.  It’s an all-ages queer event you can attend without declaring yourself queer, it’s an introduction to queerness as silly and naughty instead of always being Very Serious Business, and you can throw stuff at the screen.

I want you to write for pleasure—to play. Just listen to the sounds and rhythms of the sentences you write and play with them, like a kid with a kazoo. This isn’t “free writing,” but it’s similar in that you’re relaxing control: you’re encouraging the words themselves—the sounds of them, the beats and echoes—to lead you on. For the moment, forget all the good advice that says good style is invisible, good art conceals art. Show off! Use the whole orchestra our wonderful language offers us! Write it for children, if that’s the way you can give yourself permission to do it. Write it for your ancestors. Use any narrating voice you like. If you’re familiar with a dialect or accent, use it instead of vanilla English. Be very noisy, or be hushed. Try to reproduce the action in the jerky or flowing movement of the words. Make what happens happen in the sounds of the words, the rhythms of the sentences. Have fun, cut loose, play around, repeat, invent, feel free.

Consent by itself is the hottest part of cnc, bdsm and all those things.

It is not that I just want to own you as my toy to please me. I want you to be constantly giving yourself to me willingly. To belong to me, as an act of your will. The fact that we have a safeword and you are choosing to not use it. Every second that I own you, you are making a choice to belong to me completely and utterly. You choose to be mine again and again. You desire to be mine with your whole soul.

This is what makes this all really hot. This is what makes a base, a core for all the pleasures that are there for us - for me in owning you and for you in belonging to me and serving me.

It is impossible to stress this enough: Your consent is the key.

If it is even a tiny bit not your deepest desire to belong to me, I don't want it.
