Reminder That A Group Of People With Mostly Harmless, Non-religious Opinions Are Not Comparable To A

reminder that a group of people with mostly harmless, non-religious opinions are not comparable to a cult!! especially when some of the people in said group are cult survivors or have other forms of religious trauma!! anti-endos are not “forcing” people to join them, they’re simply stating a group with different opinions are wrong and causing harm to a community

second reminder: EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS AND OBVIOUSLY NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO AGREE WITH EACHOTHER, DONT CALL ANYONE—TRAUMATISED OR NOT—THAT THEIR OPINION IS “cult behavior”!! AND YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH YALL??

———

Would really love if people could stop alluding to anti endos as being a cult when it’s full of legitimate cult survivors, thanks!

1.. 2.. 3… ready?!

after watching both i saw the tv glow and we’re all going to the world’s fair i want to rant (/pos) on my impressions of both movies bc i will explode if i don’t get this out of my system

AHEM

I Saw the TV Glow -

as a trans system, this one hit SO hard. both looking at the story literally (aka ignoring all the trans and queer part of the story) and looking at it with a trans eye.

some of our introjects are from sources where they’re dead or dying and knowing that feeling of not being able to go back really hit us straight in the heart.

and from a trans perspective it just makes the movie so much more real. the line “it’s never too late” just reminded us that we’re lucky for being able to come out in this day and age. (and it hits hard bc we have and introject from the 90’s and the feeling of being trapped in a lie is familiar.)

all the people who don’t understand/relate to this film make me jealous. i’d like to be lucky enough to not relate to owen, to not feel like a piece of me is missing. but this film wasn’t made for them so i can’t be too mad.

We’re all Going to the World’s Fair -

as a mentally ill person this is just AUGH /pos. the whole point of this film (in my eyes) is the danger of mentally ill people being exposed to the internet. not to say all mentally ill people shouldn’t be on the internet! for casey it’s that they’re convinced their mental health is paranormal and so they’re not getting the help they need, and it’s also them clinging to a positive adult figure who’s pushing the paranormal narrative. (even if he didn’t realise it. i’m still conflicted on his character, haha.)

we DEFINITELY get this one as an autistic DID system.

unfortunately i seemed to have missed the underlying trans bit? idk it coulda been bc the captions broke and i couldn’t hear some of the lines:,] someone feel free to explain that bit to me:D
