WATCH FIRE ISLAND TONIGHT
It’s pretty interesting how the “top post” in the “Fire Island” tags is a gifset featuring a secondary white guy. I should remind you that “Fire Island” is movie about gay “Pride and Prejudice” romance between two Asian male leads written and directed by Asian men, a movie that points out how Asian men face discrimination and racism within the community…
Granted the movie just came out yesterday, the situation may change, but still. People out here watched this movie and thought that a secondary white guy is the hottest thing that should be centered above the two Asian leads.
(for the record this post is about the pattern in fandom that exists)
obsessed with Fire Island (2022) for a million reasons but maybe one of the biggest is that it has helped crystallize the understanding that literally every iteration of Lizzie/Darcy is fundamentally about two mom friends falling for each other

conradricamora: This guy @ihatejoelkim wrote an incredibly funny film, that employed hundreds of people, during a time when employment is super precarious, and today is the last day of filming. Congrats to this entire amazing crew, cast, producers, everyone at Fox Searchlight and especially our unwavering leader, our director @andrewahnfilms - truly cannot wait to collaborate again.
And to Joel - so much &❤️- because being a man in Hollywood, who just also happens to be Asian and gay, is really fucking difficult sometimes. Historically, comedic material has especially not been super kind. But he managed to write (and executive produce and star in) a hilarious, raunchy, sometimes shocking movie that also has THE BIGGEST HEART. I’m sure the effort it took to make this almost killed him, but I’m so happy I was a part of it, made a new group of friends, and I can’t wait for the world to see it. Spring/summer 2022! ❤️ #fireislandmovie
