I simmarily roll my eyes when people volunteer “I’ll go vegan as soon as lab grown meat is cheap, healthy and indistinguishable.” Every meat eater says this to me at some point.

Like okay, that’s nice? Lots of us live and thrive just fine without it, but even when all your hurdles are passed you’ll find some other reason.

Just own it and say you don’t care. Stop lying.

Pet detective was my favorite movie growing up, now I try to forget it exists. Most movies haven’t aged well in terms of casual bigotry of all flavors. Yet they still hold value, some more than others. It’s just important to remember they were products of their time. Which makes them good measuring sticks for how audiences have changed. Sometimes the real joke is what I used to find funny as a kid.

I made the mistake of watching dude wheres my car again recently. I enjoyed it as a kid, but the way that trans charcter was done really upset me. I entirely forgot she existed in the movie, but a cis actress who was dubbed with a cis man voice was used to trick the main charcters into making out and then played as gross out humor. Her whole storyline was just flat out upsetting stereotypes.

The tattoo scene is still a total gem, but the rest of it aged so poorly.
