    I think a lot of times the scenes are still done heavily through a male gaze. You’ll see more frontal of her than you ever will of a man.

    Sex in movies always felt awkward because usually it’s a plot device to push the male character’s story, a ‘reward’ for the male character… Or just one of many sexual assault scenes bestowed on nearly every female character ever because “DRAMA.”

    Not all sex scenes are like this, but a LOT of sex scenes are like this.










  • Completely this. Americans don’t like letting other people have nice things. A vending machine would be vandalized, filled with glue as a TikTok prank, attempted to be stolen, and stop working within a few days.

    Americans don’t really give a shit about other people. We’re more individualistic. You got yours? Good. Fuck everyone else. If we have to have protests and fundraising efforts to TRY to convince people to help others – we got a long way to go.

    Japan is built on respect for your fellow man. You can leave your wallet out somewhere and someone would return it immediately.
