Thank you for this. You've articulated everything I've been trying to about this film. I am so horrified by the fascist Red Scare adjacent downtown scene evolution. What was once a safe place for actual creatives and outsiders is now a home to shit-posters and hateful cis white folks with basic preppy non-style. I heard Betsey Brown on the Ion podcast talk about how the plot was kind of a reaction to MeToo/white folks being overlooked for gigs in film. While I know firsthand that there is truth to that experience, what a spiteful way to tell that story. Do you think this is all just a backlash to the MeToo era or a ripple effect of Trump times? Either way I hate it, thanks.
