When Did "bullying" Come To Mean "facing Social Consequences For Behaving In An Objectively Harmful Way"?

i would’ve agreed with this if it wasn’t that david dawson is a gay man. harry hasn’t confirmed his sexuality and neither has louis tomlinson(but he’s persistent that he isn’t gay when this ship is brought up)

louis tomlinson gets annoyed when people say he’s gay - because, well, he isn’t. harry doesn’t label his sexuality but david is an openly gay man. which is why harry and louis’s situation is no where near the message of the film. and it is probably more relatable for david rather than harry. and well. it is literally a ship. people just speculate they had feelings for each other.

so it makes more sense to me that david finds this film more important because he is gay and struggled with it while growing up. so trying to twist the message of the film to fit harry and louis(people who are merely being shipped) doesn’t make sense and doesn’t justify cropping david dawson out when he’s the one choosing to spread this message for his own community - which makes me think it’s probably, actually, a little homophobic because he is one of the only gay actors in the film. about gay men. who weren’t allowed to live their life as gay men.

so, in general, i still think it’s disrespectful to crop a gay actor out of a film about gay men and the struggle to live as who you are.

i feel so bad for actors that work with other actors who happen to be shipped heavily with someone else bc of the way the first actor is having their face edited out of pics and replaced with the person the second actor is shipped with is so fucking annoying.

yes this is aimed at anyone who edits out actors who harry styles has acted with bc why are you editing louis’s face onto david dawson’s?? in a film with such a strong and powerful message?? like omg let queer actors and media LIVE and feed your fucking ship with real material and not disrespecting the other actor

i cant really fully describe how disrespectful the netflix adaptation for the picture of dorian gray is, as i am not the secretly repressed homosexual man who wrote the novel and said all the characters represented him, nor am i a gay man who lived in the 1800’s, but i am queer and i do adore oscar wilde and i have studied his life.

not only is the book one of the first popular and honest representations of homosexuality, but the book is written by a man who said the book represented him. oscar wilde was a homosexual man. and after being arrested for indecency (doing gay things in simple words) wilde lost all his reputation and was pretty much exiled in british society (even beyond) - majority of his plays were phased out of the public and his name was silenced. oscar describes the picture of dorian gray’s three main characters as parts of him. Basil: his trueself, romantic, full of emotion, artistic and finds beauty extremely valuable. Henry: his public persona, the way the public perceive him and finally, Dorian: the man he wants to be - youthful and beautiful. Changing the main emotional plot in this novel, that happens to be romantic and queer, is not only disrespectful to the way Oscar wanted to represent himself, but also disrespectful towards the fact that Oscar himself was convicted for homosexuality and had a passage from the novel, where Basil confesses to Dorian, read in court as evidence against him.

leave queer historical figures alone. you do enough by just denying their identity.

netflix turning dorian and basil into brothers is seriously where i’m gonna lose my mind. catch me outside how bout that?

huge HUGE fan of the idea of Utterson being a way huger freak than Jekyll. You know he's hiding some truly fucked up thoughts behind that emotionless exterior.
