This was not a story we needed now.
THIS WAS NOT A STORY WE NEEDED NOW.
Maybe it seemed a fine idea back when American democracy still had the semblance of law and freedom, when HRC was on the road to winning the American election, when the idea was conceived in the heads of rich, famous, white men with nothing to lose. But when our society is rapidly heading down the darkest timeline, the thing most of us certainly did not need was a movie...about the darkest timeline.
There are stories of kids going to see the movie and coming out crying, not knowing that it's going to be okay. Frankly, I don't know if it's going to be okay. and I know that Carol is coming.
The whole matter of "will A4 introduce ideas that make my stomach churn" is kind of a given, tbh. *sigh*
