Vanity Fair was kind of right though the first time. I mean Reylo didn’t come to fruition in TLJ but it DEFINITELY laid the table for Reylo in the next installment.
It’s not Hanleia, or even Anidala. It’s different from all the other love stories in the Star Wars movies thus far.
nobody ever talks about how saying non-binary genders don’t exist is racist as fuck
How?
many many many indigenous cultures have historically included more than two genders and to say that those genders do not exist is to say that those cultural traditions are invalid, and that only the imperialist gender binary is correct. which is racism.
Fuck off with this “binary gender is commanded by God” bullshit.
Hijra isn’t a third gender though. @someoneintheshadow456 isn’t it a negative term to describe transgenders?
PLEASE STOP
You guys have no clue how LGBT rights are in India.
Hijra isn’t non binary. Hijra is used to describe MTF trans people, impotent men, castrated men, and men with androgen insensitivity.
Basically Hijra is a catch all term for “men without a working penis are a third gender and not REAL men, and women without a vagina aren’t REAL women.”
The government even forces them to identify as third gender instead of as men/women, transgender is treated as an abomination or freak here.
Hijras usually do sex work or begging and have no real rights, they’re persecuted by society and seen as jokes.
And NO the British didn’t cause this. The Mughals didn’t cause this. It was ALWAYS the case. Those two just made it WORSE.
Stop speaking for Indian LGBT people, foreigners. You don’t understand anything.
hot take: the problem isnt the manic pixie dream girl. its the boring ass moody emotional leech guy she always gets paired with. we need more manic pixie dream characters. just give them partners who are as great as them or let them be happy alone! no more smart, beautiful, optimistic, kind girls getting paired with actual mosquitoes of men!
Manic pixie dream boys exist as well, and they’re JUST as stupid of a trope. Lo and behold one of the biggest examples:
The woman he was pursuing was a bitter and unlikable person who constantly bitched and moaned all the time. Yes she had a sad backstory but the way she acted with her best friend was absolutely no excuse.
And THIS GUY believed her biggest problem was not being “outgoing” enough or whatever BS and wanted her to get over her being anti romance because of her backstory, instead of, you know, her jerkish attitude which is a more important thing to get rid of.
