did the tiktok i posted of the trans person talking about emilia perez also give you a headache

 

Didn’t watch it and don’t plan to. TikTok is the bane of my existence no matter who is posting.

 

idk sounds kinda transphobic to me

 

LOL seriously?

 

no. but don't be a dick.

 

The Brutalist is not a historical movie about the history of architecture, nor is it anti-fascist.

 

an actually useful response, thank you

 

Very normal, levelheaded thing to do to suggest I am transphobic based on nothing at all. Time to log off and touch grass

 

Movies as a medium are not fit to accurately cover the history of an artistic movement, especially not a vast global architecture trend like brutalism. History as a discipline has moved away from great man theory but movies are still bound to the shackles of narrative which requires focusing on characters.
The magic of art is that it is not limited by this and can still use single characters to express larger ideas. If you dont have tictoc brain.

 

????

 

idk continuing to be a dick to me seems pretty transphobic.

"seriously?"

no. but fuck off.

 

It was totally uncalled for and you’re the one being extremely aggressive. I’m done here.

 

i'm extremely aggressive?

 

I was very obviously talking about TikTok, not you?

 

It’s very obvious I was referring to my disdain for TikTok and all content shared via TikTok. I’m sorry if you felt I was being aggressive to you, but I didn’t mean to be interpreted that way.

my asking why’d you post something (after you’d said you didn’t even watch the movie) is not transphobic. It’s me asking why you posted something.

 

and i very clearly said i wasn't seriously calling you transphobic but you kept acting like i was. maybe learn how to catch hyperbole before using it so much

 

I don’t care how much of an old man it makes me, but I refuse to acknowledge film criticism of any kind on TikTok.

 

What if they upload it on instagram?

 

Tiktok film critics are either too young to be taken seriously or too old to be on tiktok

 

got it, so next time someone likens me to a transphobe or any type of hate-filled person just bc they feel like it, I'll try not to be offended

 

it's a good suggestion and I'll do it. you have fun on tiktok

 

People on this forum are really unfair toward social media criticism. Yes there is a lot of garbage but there are some gems doing video essays and analysis.
