Nimona is. A very good movie but also one of the contextually for-it’s-time precise movies I’ve ever seen

#Like I’m still turning over in my head the way it pretty explicitly talks about not accepting trans children’s identities #As a particular and deeply violent and brutal form of child abuse #But I’m also pretty caught on all the decisions and implications that come from racebending ballister #That was a Decision and I think a Good One but again. While I’ve seen some commentary on classicism #That story is also So Much in the context of anti south Asian racism and Islamophobia #There’s been a bunch of kid and adopted Dad stories as of recent but there’s whole new levels making the adopted dad figure a gay #South asian man #Like just as the Nimona plot line is actively and precisely cutting at the Defend our Children catchphrases of transphobic legislation by #Showing the harm that kind of demonization does to a CHILD #Having ballister be the kind of awkward dead inside/dad inside figure really cuts into the homophobic scar tactic of gay men being #Fundamentslly Dangerous to Children AND the racist scare tactic of south Asian men being fundamentally dangerous to children #Nimona is…. Very good. Like clearly thought happened in the making of this movie
