“Class is knocked out of the picture in the opening voice-over: Whereas the novel’s Nick Carraway was told, growing up, to “remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had,” the film’s Nick Carraway is told to “try to see the best in people.” Which is a very different task, and a completely apolitical one to boot.”

I love Moulin Rouge. But if he wanted to make another movie about highly romanticized loved and shiny shiny costumes and ~partying on all night yeah~

he should have picked another project, instead of ripping the freaking spine out of The Great Gatsby and delivering its glittery corpse to an American audience that doesn’t want to think about exactly the things he’s ripped out

turning it in to a mockery of itself that actually contributes to the very things it critiques

Since this is apparently Charlotte Is Angry About Orientation Being Hard Night, I think that it might be relevant to note that I was talking to a friend who recently came out as bisexual, and he said that I’m his gay buddy who he thinks to talk to first about orientation weirdness, and I was kind of really touched?

It might sound dumb, but it made me feel all warmed up inside.

See? Proof that I’m not always angry; sometimes I’m an sentimental babbler!

I understand the concepts. Its the semantics and jargon that tend to trip me up.

Oh gosh, yes, it’s not the most transparent community in the world, is it?

I mean to be honest a lot of the forums that I peeked at while I was questioning intimidated me so much that I still wouldn’t go back; the ace community is small and not very visible, so it can be fairly impenetrable, pun not intended.

Could I help by explaining anything to you?

It’s not even the jargon and semantics that make me anxious, to be honest. It’s just that there are a lot of ways in which it’s hard to function socially as an ace person, especially one who’s not aromantic, because of the way we’re socially conditioned to think about the roles of sex and sexuality in relationships and self-evaluation. And that conditioning makes it hard to talk about issues, because we’re not really given a model for understanding them, and they effectively become invisible to people who don’t experience them and gosh sorry I started rambling again my apologies.

But seriously, questions? Can I clarify anything for you?
