Chasing Amy is actually a great film to demonstrate how regressive attitudes toward gays (even by well-meaning liberals) were in the 90's.

The protagonist who slut-shames his bi gf is presented as a relatable Everyman, who is learning the strange new ways of modern dating.

In reality, he is a judgmental shit monster who doesn't deserve to date a unicorn.

The portrayal of the only lesbians in the film is stilted and insulting. They are militant bull dykes who the audience is supposed to hate.

TBF I'm not really upset with the Ben Affleck of today. I'm upset with 90's attitudes toward LGBT folks. Things have changed very quickly.
