[turning red] "OK let's see why the audience rating is so low for this movie"

"1 star, it doesn't tell children to blindly obey their parents 100% of the time"
AzureChrysanthemum
hahahaha I literally just made a Tweet about this
Liana MacKenzie on Twitter

the language of people thinking movie being "super targetted to a specific audience" is some REAL fun racist dogwhistling
連続犬
just, ok, tell me you're white without telling me you're white etc
Quinneapolis
I can't relate to this movie about asians
Quinneapolis
unlike my relatable favorite movie, cars
❆𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻
there was one review of it that was along these lines that had been pulled that has since become something of a meme template
AzureChrysanthemum
I'm seeing some chatter that that reviewer has a history of racism and also covering for Joss Whedon
Tyra
As if most Disney movies aren’t already about kids disobeying their parents
Quinneapolis
incidentally what disney/pixar movies are these people-- yeah
Tyra
“Today’s political themes” it’s set in 2002
連続犬
I mean it being set in 2002 doesn't mean it can't have political applications that apply today but that is beyond the point
Tyra
Yeah but I don’t expect that people would look beyond the surface level so I gave a surface level criticism
Princess Emily
"today's political themes" it features girls of multiple ethnicities with the main character and her family being asian, that's political don'tcha know,
Quinneapolis
I understand that "inappropriate for children" in a lot of these reviews means "they acknowledge the existence of periods"
Princess Emily
that plus it does (more in the beginning) heavily feature girls getting crushes on boys and imagining them without shirts (and as mermen)
Princess Emily
still not actually inappropriate for children
Quinneapolis
movie caters to male teens: "this is a fun popcorn flick anyone can enjoy if you just turn your brain off"
Quinneapolis
movie caters to female teens: "nobody but a teen girl could ever like this movie"
Quinneapolis
Jupiter Ascending is good
Flash Bastard
...knock against it because the main character is doing fanworks at 13.
Flash Bastard
I started writing fanfic when I was 13.
AzureChrysanthemum
How dare this movie actually understand and empathize with early teenage girls
Quinneapolis
teen girls deserve popcorn
shivorce
These fucking reviews are insane
Quinneapolis
Didn't understand why all the Canadian references, Pixar is based in California. LMAO
Quinneapolis
have you people never seen a movie
Quinneapolis
Pixar wasn't based in Monstropolis either
Dragomorph
i really wanna watch this film to spite these folks now (and also because I too am of Chinese descent)
AzureChrysanthemum
All the Chinese diaspora folks in my Asians in TTRPG community absolutely adored it
BERSERKER
something I noticed in the middle of another plurk about this: we gotta decouple Disney and Pixar from this, because the only Disney film I've seen that got stink-eyed like this is Princess and the Frog, whereas every Pixar film with a non-white human lead (not counting the very male-coded non-humans) has been eviscerated in the short term
BERSERKER
Coco and Soul both absolutely got buried, too
BERSERKER
This is purely some weird sort of Pixar thing that people don't do to raw "Disney" films? I don't get it either
AzureChrysanthemum
I wonder if it's because male fascist nerds don't generally care about/have fond memories of Disney films since the princess fare has always been more about girls than boys
Tyra
BERSERKER : Coco made 807 million at the box office and Soul won an Oscar
BERSERKER
And this is probably going to get awards too; it's about audience reaction, not critical. Review bombing does not make something ACTUALLY bad
Tyra
Im just saying that’s far from being buried
BERSERKER
fair enough
RobotApocalypse
oh yes it's definitely about teaching kids to disobey their parents and not about, i dunno, growing up and forming your own identity separate from your parents
RobotApocalypse
a normal thing that many children's movies have been made about
Dragomorph
i mean conservatives hate people who disobey them so
AzureChrysanthemum
You can generally tell if someone's fascist by just asking about parenting it's true
