Just thought I’d post this for everybody telling me that Rocky Horror Picture Show is worth its flaws. Who’s fucking surprised?
This is for the people who say “it was the product of its time!” and “it means so much to so many people!”. How much violence towards trans women are you willing to overlook for your shitty movie?

RHPS: Has a collection of popular anti trans woman bullshit tropes collected into a single character.
Trans Women: “Hey so, this is clearly intended to portray trans women as predatory monsters, could y’all stop being so uncritical of this? Like many trans women feel unsafe around RHPS events. We get that once upon a time you found it valuable but that’s because that’s all we had, we have better now?”
“Communities”: “OMG would you shut up and appreciate the masterpiece of Representation and something which creates a bastion of self-expression for all? Anyway it doesn’t SAY this character is a trans woman so clearly this character isn’t a trans woman. THIS MOVIE MADE PLACES PEOPLE COULD DISCOVER THEMSELVES WHY DO YOU HATE THAT.”
Trans Women who were literally scared into staying in the closet longer by RHPS: “Yeah, about that...”
“Communities”: “Suddenly I can’t read I don’t know.”
The Literal Actual Creator of RHPS: “Trans women can’t be women.”
“Communities” in the notes of this very post: “THIS IS A SHAME BUT IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE INTENT OF RHPS IT’S STILL A WONDERFUL SELF-EXPRESSION CREATING WORK AND...”
If this is still your attitude, just admit you don’t give a shit about trans women so we can work from there with the knowledge that you and your opinions can and should be actively ignored.
