growing up reading fantasy books was such a bust cause your whole life you’re left wanting more from life and like there’s something missing and you’re just waiting for that missing part to begin but it’s never gonna come
v for vendetta is a film with a female protagonist that criticises capitalism, condemns pedophilia, encourages the viewers to question their governments, has a central plot about how LGBT people are condemned in right wing societies (more than three LGBT characters are in it) and was directed by a trans woman and her brother.
why has this become a fuckboy classic
because they mistake V for the protagonist and Evey as simply the viewpoint character, wilfully ignore the part of the plot about LGBT discrimination, and concentrate on how cool V is with his mask and his government-rebelling plots.
There are so many films that these men praise, that when I actually sit down to watch, I’m blown away by the fact that these men have not only blatantly ignored the actual themes of the film, but have also by association ruined the films reputation amongst the masses by taking its imagery for themselves. It’s wild
psst the Wachowskis wrote this–they didn’t direct it–and they’re both trans women
