I didn't particularly like Shape of Water but it's cool if you did. Felt like the inclusion message was reductive (like checking off a diversity checklist) and the "love story" felt coersive, what choice did the fishman have? Torture or this lady who became obsessed with him.

I mean as much as I would have wanted Get Out to have won, I would disagree that Shape of Water is boring, and holds significance to audience members who felt ostracized by society.

I wouldn't say it's just about a "woman fucking a fish" either, it's about showing empathy to a percieved monster that is shunned by society. Del Toro even made a significant point in saying it's about empathy.

A movie that deliberatedly fights elements of the patriarchy, racial discrimination and heteronormativity in its plot? While also being a genuine romantic story? I’d hardly call that boring
-
Of corse Get Out and Lady Bird deserve a lot more attention, but I don’t see how anyone could be so dissmisive of Guillermo’s success.

Considering how very few Mexican directors have ever won an Oscar you could stand to be a little less dismissive.

Nice way to put down someone else's hard work, dedication and passion because it wasn't your personal choice. Pretty sure if u recieved the same treatment it would be harrasment ://

Yknow Anita I've stood by you and defended your name all these years but I cannot forgive this. How dare you dismiss grinding nemo like that.

As a bi man, a movie where all of the lead woman's friends treat her non-heteronormative sexual relationship as perfectly normal is pretty fucking cool.

The number of Mexicans that have won best picture/director can literally be counted on one hand if I were missing my thumb. How about just letting us have this, hmm?

You saw a movie about fucking a fishman, I saw a movie about marginalized people standing up against a society that forces them to live in the shadows, and doing the right thing when no one else dares to.

Seriously, how did you miss the point of a movie that represents everything you stand for?

At least we can agree on something, even if the idea of agreeing with you makes me want to snap my own neck.
