HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH FROM ALL OF US AT WOMEN OF NOISE.

the point of “gender is a social construct” isn’t that gender is meaningless, it’s that we should be allowed to decide what it means

I watched Help! For the first time recently, it was a lot of fun, but my feelings are kinda mixed on it, considering how they used Hinduism in the film, and played into a lot of racist tropes towards Indians :/

yeah. they didn't even attempt to hide it. old media (and current media if we’re being honest, but they've just gotten better at hiding it) mocked/insulted cultures/races so much. they wouldn't even hide it. it was in kids cartoons, commercials, everything. even the monkees show had bits against mexicans, asians, and indians too with racist stereotypes. racist stereotypes have been around forever and it just keeps carrying over to other generations. sigh.

it’s just ignorance on the film makers part. i don't think the beatles were really involved in the making of the plot (not that i know of, at least), and they were stoned for basically the whole movie so they didn't give a shit. and to be honest, even if they were involved and sober i still don't think they'd see anything wrong with the film at the time. because it wouldn't affect them or hurt them/their culture. because a lot of people are ignorant to these racist tropes that they've deemed normal because they've seen it/heard it all their lives from media and their peers. 

help! is a decent movie (except ringo’s hair deserves jail time) and it’s a good laugh. it’s a fun movie. it’s okay to enjoy it but it’s important to understand the undertones it kind of had. and to acknowledge it. 

I hope black girls with depression have a good day today.

cannot believe there are other people out there called the same thing as me... this is my name lol get your own

silly me, how dare i sit here & hope that people will someday wake the fuck up & realize john lennon wasn’t a “wife beater.”

i guess making him seem like anything but the worst man in existence ruins the internet’s favorite classic rock punching bag.

Get well soon Olivia! 💐 (January 11 2021)
