On the latest FFR, we play volleyball with Maverick, Iceman, Goose & the rest of the boys from Top Gun! Is it military propaganda presenting a carefully calculated image of masculinity? Is it a film dripping with queer subtext? Can it be both? Listen now! https://feministfrequency.com/video/ffr-47-top-gun/ …pic.twitter.com/3XRFIykqkJ

What do you think propaganda means? Cause I said that these character are acting like idiots. That in real life they would've been kicked out for the way they act. They showed pilots being idiots.

Hahaha that doesn't magically make it not propaganda. In fact, that's part of why it works so effectively as propaganda. The film presents a version of manhood that would appeal to the young male viewers at the time and make them more likely to enlist!
