Time for a little robot chauvinism!

I liked the part in Boxtrolls where the guy got all puffy because of cheese.

I think it's perfectly fair to talk about trans representation in Boxtrolls (the old "man in dress deceiving men into sex" gag was lovely way back in Ace Ventura and it's lovely now), but waving vaguely towards an entire social network (which doesn't even represent a singular community with a homogenous perspective on this stuff) is a silly way to back it up.

It's sincerely wonderful that many people on this site are still pissy about Ace Ventura two full decades after its release.

well, raspy trashfucker, since you asked, nothing bothers me about it.

Drag doesn't bother me in the slightest when it's done respectfully. The example in this movie makes drag look to be a bad thing and that those who do it are tricksters and hucksters looking merely to fool. In most cases this is not true. Transvestites and all people of trans lifestyles should not be the butt of a joke, but this movie took the cheap way out and made humor at their expense.

Thanks for your question, raspy trashfucker.

even children wouldnt be dumb enough to extrapolate the actions of a single character into the sweeping generalizations youre talking about, so how is this a real problem

Ebert's review of Irreversible says

quote:

The party scenes, and the revealing dress, are seen in hindsight as a risk that should not have been taken. Instead of making Alex look sexy and attractive, they make her look vulnerable and in danger. While it is true that a woman should be able to dress as she pleases, it is not always wise.

you'd have a point if transvestites being charlatans was a real stereotype and not just a cliched plot device

I legit want to know if you actually think any kid seeing this will go "wow the bad guy wore a dress...every filthy tranny is out to trick and swindle me!" Like, is this just a thing where we need a reason to smugly sneer at the only kids movie studio to make a film last year with a gay character at all, let alone one posed as a totally normal run of the mill dude who happened to like dudes for not REALLY being progressive or what?

It's cool that actual drag performers like Divine and RuPaul have a sense of humor about what they do but Adult Man Who Reviews Children's Cartoons gets insanely uncomfortable over the idea that a man in a dress is kind of funny.
