Ugh. It’s 2024 and we’re *still* making movies where homosexuality and effeminacy in men are used to denote degeneracy and evil. It’s so boring and tired and annoying and stupid #Gladiator - ThreadSky

I didn't know the new gladiator was set in 2024! So not worth a watch then?

Well, Deadpool is a flamboyant bisexual and he’s portrayed as someone willing to do the right thing for the people he loves. And D&W made bank this year!

transmisogyny sure makes pop culture go

It’s pathetic. We’re devolving.

Good to see you on here. Haven’t been on the other sh*t for almost 2 years.

Laziest trope ever. Irresponsible and maddening that directors would still resort to it.

Gladiator didn't need a mediocre sequel, man 😔

Well buckle in because it's about to get much worse.

1. Representation can't just be your kind are always the "good guys."
2. The homophobes can fuck right off to Twitter. Please explain to me how anyone's gender or sexuality affects you DIRECTLY on a daily basis.

other than that, mrs panti, how was the show?

pantibliss.bsky.social•104 days ago

Entertaining set pieces, some great scene-chewing performances (esp Denzel) but a very hokey plot and some real silliness like sharks in the Colloseum

crunchyboyyyyy.bsky.social•104 days ago

I mean I know they used to flood the colloseum with water to do mock naval battles but sharks? They ran outta ideas.

dublinenjoyer.bsky.social•104 days ago

i haven't seen it yet but i still lie awake at night wondering how romans would have transported sharks across land...

Very big wheelbarrows

Even though the Romans and even the Greeks actually took part in both. Though their version of what's effeminate would be different from ours. Like people being offended by homosexuality would largely be seen as effeminate.

demdefence.bsky.social•104 days ago

What are you saying? I'm straight. I've seen some manly gay guys and waaaaaay more effeminate ones. It is off putting to me.

aridaneavalon.bsky.social•103 days ago

I mean in the days of the ancient Romans and Greeks they had a different view of effeminate.

In Paul's time it referred to people that didn't work with their hands. If you weren't like a carpenter for example, you were effeminate.

Shout out to Spartacus the tv series for showing some of the cutest most genuine MLM bonds in the same setting. It's on Tubi btw 😊 Barca and Auctus/Pietros are so precious

browngrass.bsky.social•104 days ago

But… gladiators were gay? lol
