I know we’re going to get into a new round of conversation about art and humor and whatever the fuck else, but I’m horribly offended by the idea of a “mockumentary” about a supposed musical based on Brandon Teena’s death.
Just stop it already: leave trans people out of this bullshit.
It would have been just as possible to create a mockumentary about how stupid & shallow musical theater people can be without dragging that young man into it.
Ugh. Bad taste doesn’t even begin to describe my disgust.
And no, I don’t have to see the goddamn thing. I barely held back the contents of my stomach watching the short preview.
I did actually check to make sure this wasn’t published on April Fool’s Day, in some hope that it was a joke. It wasn’t, and it isn’t.
