there is a huge difference between criticizing an institution and criticizing individual behavior. i can criticize the makeup industry without criticizing the 14 year old girl who uses concealer because she’s self-conscious about her acne; i can criticize the plastic surgery industry without vilifying the woman who decided to get a nose job after two decades of pointed comments and bullying. it is intellectually dishonest to respond to an institutional criticism as if it were a personal attack; on the flip side, it is cruel and unnecessary to leverage personal attacks in the name of institutional criticism
if i see one (1) more person respond to a perfectly reasonable beauty-industry-critical sentiment with “but i personally enjoy eyeshadow. why are you attacking people who like eyeshadow :(” or “exactly, all women who wear makeup are miserable and brainwashed” i am going to climb a tree and bite the top of it
not to be dramatic or anything but interstellar is really one of the most beautiful and touching examinations of human existence... geniuenly i think there's so much to be said about what human beings are all about and all the ways we're ugly but the way interstellar says yes people can be evil and do stupid things because they're scared and they're selfish and mean but also it all boils down to a dad that promised he'd come back for his daughter and a daughter that believed him. yeah. i feel like this is beautiful. i think this is what humanity is all about
Every HSM movie wanted so badly to convince us that Troy was the real villain when he was just a nice boy who wanted to sing and shoot hoops. His worst crime is being a people pleaser and his friends took advantage of that constantly to manipulate him.
