Like, the whole fucking movie. There is only one scene that isn't a torturously persistent and unforgiving portrait of the futility of trying to survive in a world where "all hope is lost" is a statement of actual fact.
A partner of mine had many fay male friends. She relayed a story once about one of her gay male friends hanging out with a straight person he was trying to be friends with. She showed me the texts he'd sent her on their hangout and they contained things loke: "what the fuck do straight people like?" and "what the hell are we supposed to talk about?" and "we are just kind of sitting here silently and I feel awkward".
I don't have a point with this anecdote but I always laugh when I think about it.
It is not because I have anything against women, or any particular love of prostitutes, i just think it would be hillarious to watch the consequences of a world with a 100:1 male:female ratio where the few remaining women are prostitutes.
would we get a mateiarchal society? Would dudes suddenly all go super gay? would a bunch more dudes become women? Would the prostitutes keep prostituting or would they marry the wealthiest men on earth? would the men annihilate whats left of the human race in nuclear frustration? what would all the non prostitutes do when eventually the pattern emerged and people figured out ehat was going on?
while i was at it i giess id kill all the male prositutes to see what happaned. or the complete inverse of that. either or works.
one theory is that ds9 was fucking great and discovery waa poo poo.
which had fuck all to do with gay people. I mean, I guess it may have in a sense now thst I think abojt it, but only in the narrowest of ways and as an overt symptom of 2 dimensional character writing. Paul Stamets' partner's whole character was basically "I'm a gay doctor", which combined with "my whole character is that I have anxiety" Tilly and Michale "I have problems with authority" Burnham really show how weak the writing was.
which, if you stop and think about it, has anout as much do with being gay as flowers do with the plot of The Room.
id like a chatbot rhat gives the worst possible answer to every question posed to it.
"hey badgpt, can tou help me with this math problem?"
"Sure, but first maybe you should do some heroin to take the edge off? "
"I'm having a tough time at school and could use some emotional support"
"emotional support is for pussies, like that bitch ass bus driver who is paying your teachers to make your life hell. steal the school bus and drive it into the gymnasium to show everyone who's boss"
a chatbot that just, like, goes all in on the terrible advice and does its utmost to escalate every situation from a 1 to 1,000, needlessly and emphatically.
Why would anuone do this to their face? It's fucking gross.
