I was bummed-about-Happiest-Season-discourse anon and for what it’s worth I feel a lot better about it now the initial kneejerk responses have burned off & it was so successful for Hulu. Idk if that makes you feel better, but I honestly feel like the vibe around it this time next year will be way more positive now everyone’s gotten their big viral takes out of the way and people can appreciate it for what it’s actually doing instead of what they thought it was. Sorry for using you to offload :)

Ah, no problem, sorry I took so long to respond! And I do get what you mean, the discourse is moving on and it all perhaps even added to the movie’s success and I do really love that Clea’s sticking to her guns and not backing down on what she wanted from the movie, but stilllll. I just wanted to enjoy a movie. The part where the community thinks so little of us hasn’t gone anywhere, and the discourse isn’t anywhere near done for me, y’all sent a lot of asks. 😛

I don’t know if it’ll be positive next year, but it’ll probably not be as fueled by new, genuine feelings so maybe the snark’ll be fairly mild.
