      Why is Ben Affleck attracted to projects where his magic peen turn lesbian straight?

    • @wtfaiwpodcast
      @wtfaiwpodcast 2 роки тому +49

      In the original version (according to Michael Dequina, anyway), I think she was actually the bisexual ex-girlfriend of a lesbian hitwoman, and she'd taken over her ex-girlfriend's identity in an attempt to live a more exciting life or something, so a lot of the weirdness of that character was originally supposed to make more sense. Still probably wasn't a very good movie, though.

  • @jongkittae
    @jongkittae 2 роки тому +146

    the absolutely blatant bisexual erasure??? like y'all could've given us some decent bi representation in an era that desperately needed diversity in media but instead chose to give us "lesbian except for this one dude" ????? that's just not how anything works man, like they fully said lesbians are just women who haven't met the right guy ????? that whole trope just baffles me to no end

    • @luthientinuviel3883
      @luthientinuviel3883 2 роки тому

      I guess in this era bi women were more depicted as "promiscuous" and willing to have sex with anybody, so OBVIOUSLY she had to be a lesbian (except for one guy). Fr tho as a bi girl this film was pretty irritating

    • @Devilangel250
      @Devilangel250 2 роки тому +5

      I think the problem with that is that even if they made her Bi it's not like she would be good representation. They already were weird about her attraction to women making her Bi fixes her sleeping with him but like it's not like they made her good lesbian rep before she slept with him. They should've just...... not made this.

    Why is "straight man refuses to comprehend that gay woman is not attracted to men and she eventually gives in and sleeps with him because she met the right man" a THING?

It was so cringe and as a child I just wanted to see anything else.
