wish yall would stop calling rejection of mainstream beauty expectations as “embracing ugliness” :(
just bcs i dont wear makeup doesnt mean im “raw” and “embracing my ugliness” im literally just existing… sorry 2 hear about ur messed up self esteem but dont project your issues onto me…
hint: calling deviation from mainstream beauty standards “ugliness” is not actually positive and is literally still reinforcing those standards even if youre ~embracing~ it lmfao. use those brains babes
Ok I’m pretty sure most people who were gonna do some Hot Takes on The Girl in the Spiders Web film adaptation have already done so, but I’m late to the party and really need to get my two cents in on this one. This does contain spoilers to an extent.
I’m not here to fight anyone on the book or film, if you did or didn’t like it then that’s your right, this is purely some personal opinions on the way that the movie adaptation was handled, after sitting on my thoughts for a little while and sorting them all out. This is still rough because I literally just saw it today and am only typing this out once without editing, but seeing as I read the book in its entirety yesterday, I feel like I have a fairly accurate view still of the differences here. But to sum up what’s below the cut: The film adaptation shows a disregard of Lisbeth and other characters in a way almost paralleling the very societal opinions of them that the books themselves criticised.
