Challengers (2024): An Exercise of Desire, Love Triangles, and Homoeroticism 🎾 🥵 🏳️‍🌈
some say it's the hottest film of the year... I say "yes, AND" it has the nuance and depth of character that makes for many a heated debate over villains. It's none other than Luca Guadagnino's sun-soaked sweat-drenched tennis-balled film: Challengers.

    Most of the people who think there is a genocide going on in Gaza are young people who are just very ignorant about history and especially military history. For example the city of caen was attacked and liberated from nazi this time 80 years ago and more than twice as many civilians lost there lives in the allied bombing and the following ground battles than the civilian killed in Gaza. The civilian were on our side they were not our enemy but this is what happens in a real war . And this is what happened hundreds of times in ww2 . Young people should spend a few months educating themselves and learning about military history because I guarantee the vast majority have never spent any time in their lives learning anything about this history or they would never use the word genocide or find deaths and destruction of cities who are at war unusually. Taking a good look at the before and after photos and films of caen and learning about history would be a good start . They would also understand what declaring a open city is and understand Hamas's could have and can declare a open city at any point .Ignorance is not an excuse anymore . An example of ignorance is this young lady in this video who makes statements to her viewers about the academy awards and Marlon Brando. If she decided to break out of her media bubble and made herself open to new information she would have already known that the woman who picked up the award was a actresses was faking being native American she was doing a performance. And like most ignorant young people today she was one of the first to do performance activism. Performance activism like posting on ticktok or Twitter or Instagram or UA-cam never actually achieved anything positive, never making any real effort and never facing the consequences of any changes that might affect real people. Its luxury belief and activism for the benefit of the performer by generally very ignorant people. This video a perfect example

    Marie Antoinette probably never said let them eat cake. It was first said about Marie-Thérèse from spain. Its basically just propaganda that was written either after she was imprisoned, or after her exicusion.

    you’re targeting the wrong people… celebrity culture has been a thing for very long, this is not the first time a war/horrific event is going on in the world while entertainment media just goes on like nothing’s happening; expecting to achieve some change by calling out singers, actors and influencers (people who a lot of the times just don’t care at all about what’s going on) is a waste of time in my opinion, but i really liked the video

    I'm not gonna lie, I am so curious as to why Patrick is the poorest out of everyone after 13 years, especially knowing from the little clues that were dropped that he had the most money out of everyone. Because when Tashi yelled at him to stop this down-on-his-luck tennis player and stop pretending to be poor, it made me wonder what if he’s not pretending, and he actually is poor. Which I found really interesting, and I have two thoughts in relation to it. Did his parents truly not care about their son enough to honestly check up on him in the past 13 years? Like did his mother just suddenly pretend like she never had a son for the past 13 years. Which then I’m like okay, so they don’t love or care about their son for him just being their son, but they still very much care about their wealth and their status and reputation, which falls to Patrick(as we don’t know if he has siblings) and so you would think, they would have checked in on him or just at the very least sent him money as to know that their only son isn’t dead somewhere and can possible ruin the family name. ( I mean they sent their son to a boarding school, so they do care about their reputation to some extent) This then makes me question if in the past 13 years did Patrick TRY and talk to them and got rejected or cut-off, or did they tell him he had to give up tennis or something and come work for the family business (or even was a little homophobic 😗, as we saw the few clues and hints about Patrick being bisexual) I just have a lot of questions about Patrick, he’s like Pandora’s box, the way he works his emotions so people stay at a distance, but also wears his emotions on his sleeve and you can read him like a book if you’re paying enough attention.

    Tell me, if every fat person said before Ozempic era, that is not about eating less... Because they eat a little... Sooo while Ozempic is stopping the desire for food - fat people eat less. And they loose weight. So it is all about eating less.

    Ozempic is a miracle drug for lazy people who only want results and never want to put the work in. If people REALLY wanted to lose weight, they would workout. Plain and simple. Body positive is for things you can’t change about yourself, not being a lazy fatass

      Like it’s so hard to understand wtf people are doing. If you want to lose weight just workout and put the fucking work in!!! It’s hard but it’s worth it! There is a reason “fat phobia” exists, and it’s because the large majority of fat people are less attractive, and lazier than those who are skinnier.
