nayrt

That actually makes sense, though. I feel like this is one of those times where people here are so anti-SJW that they start being bigoted.

[(Anonymous)]

No it doesn't.

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't. Here's the context.

Guy made up a persona to boost his male counterparts' claims that the box trolls were evil, ate children, stole cheese, etc. Literally, that's all she does. The men end up going all fanboy over her. There so much shit shoved onto this that isn't even there.

[(Anonymous)]

How is this NOT using drag to underscore the character's deceit? That's literally all it is! He dresses in drag to support his own lies!

[(Anonymous)]

Because he could have just as easily dressed up as a man? You're desperately reaching for omgtransphobia when there isn't anyway. The movie was amazing, by the way!

[(Anonymous)]

And if he had, there wouldn't have been a trans issue. WHich is kinda the point. If the transphobia goes away when the man dresses as another man and not as a woman, its a pretty solid lock on why people see it.

[(Anonymous)]

Ignore him, he just wants an excuse to justify his victim complex.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. This is honestly a completely valid analysis. I have no horse in this race, but looking at the facts of the movie, that is also my reasoning for why the antagonist dresses in drag. It's a visual presentation of his "lie".

[(Anonymous)]

He dressed as a woman to look sympathetic and to have people listen to him/A woman wouldn't be suspected of being connected with him.

Oh my god! British humor! Run for the hills!

ayrt
Oh no, what you say is true. That is definitely the reasoning for the crossdressing in the actual narrative. What I (and presumably the anon I originally replied to) meant is that, outside of in-story reasoning, crossdressing serves a function in hammering home that the antagonist is deceitful, or living a double-life, so to speak. Which, taking in the implications of the relation and comparing that to what's often associated negatively with the trans* community, lends credence to the idea that it's transphobic.
I'm aware of British humor, yes, but I don't humor should end all talk of a topic. That silences so many interesting discussions.
