I’m not surprised to hear that it’s yet another movie fetishizing female pain, even in death.”
We love to fetishize female pain … We obsess over dead girls and serial killers.”
She added:
We love to fetishise female pain. And I think as women, I can say for myself for sure, I’ve learned how to fetishise my own pain and my own hurt in my life so that it feels like something that can be tended to that’s kind of sexy.”
I think we do that in many, many different ways.
I want that to change. But I was thinking about it and you know what’s kind of hard to fetishize? Anger. Anger is hard to fetishise. So I have a proposal. I think we all need to be a little more p***** off. I’m gonna be in my witch era, 2022
