Adam Bakri As Ali Khan Shirvanshir In ALI AND NINO (2016) Dir. Asif Kapadia

no?? i'm queer and black. i assume ur white because why in your right mind would you ship a racist white colonizer with a young black man...??? like what??? it's not about you being queer, it's about the very racist and tone deaf undercurrent of this "ship".

I never thought it could be done but somehow Sinners managed to make a story about two men that want to kill each other more homoerotic than death note.

i realistically don't care about fics or whatever, people r gonna have problematic faves. i'm literally a lestat luvr. what bothers me is this, the braindead justifications people r gonna make instead of just... yeah... he was also racist. just a different brand of it. hes ugly too but thats besides the point

it really frustrates me to think about how people are inevitably going to take Remmick’s one (1) singular statement about how much he resents the way the Irish were colonized and forcibly converted to Christianity and use it as fuel for “actually he had a point” and “he was right actually” and “he’s not really the villain here” posts, when the whole point is that Remmick is, through the vampiric hive mind he’s creating, forcibly assimilating people into yet another manipulative and parasitical system.

he’s perpetuating a cycle that he claims to hate and resent, and I think the movie is pretty damn clear about the fact that he doesn’t see anybody as valuable or useful to him except as prey and as pawns—otherwise he would just, you know, focus solely on people who actually consent to being turned. but he looked sad in that one scene and he’s an apparently attractive white cis man so people are gonna bend over backwards justifying all the harm he did.

If I see one more “Remmick doesn’t understand race bc he sees himself as Irish” post. You know what they did when they were given the chance?

Assimilate into white culture. Remmick knew what he was doing and he knew the way he was doing it was wrong. In the end he was chasing power not his ancestors.

We know what the Irish experienced in Ireland and the US but what did they do when they had the chance? “I don’t want to be treated like they treat black people!” They chased that white privilege and protection.
