Richard Attenborough’s Chaplin (1992) wants us to see a misunderstood genius. What it shows instead is a creepily sanitized hagiography that romanticizes teen girls, trivializes women, and buries the craft. If you want to understand Chaplin, watch his films — not this embalmed biopic.

Chaplin (1992)

Fourth bop: “Kiss the Girl”

Beautiful. Iconic. Problematic.

It’s a love song about kissing someone who can’t talk — and the lyrics say that’s okay.

“Don’t take a word, not a single word…”

Sebastian, my dude.

Silence ≠ consent.

Hate the Sinner, Love the Sin: When Authors are Repulsive

A classic example of this is H. P. Lovecraft. The man was a

I was a small child during the 80s, and my parents listened almost exclusively to super folky music. So I'm learning about 80s pop music as an adult. I really love so much about it, the colors, the absurdist whimsy, and there's definitely parallels between Reagan's time & 45's. Anyway here's a band I just heard of this year: Wang Chung. They're English. This is "Dance Hall Days." #ProblematicFaves #Music

@Jsuttonmorse @rhiannonrevolts COMING BACK TO SAY THAT WAS GREAT, really exposes a lot of the problem knots in that book(and series) in the best way. I have good feelings #problematicfaves
