Yeah, see this is why any Rowling-led remake of the book series is going to fail utterly. Because popular as the books were, so much of what we remember from the franchise is colored by the adaptations which featured so many of Britain's greatest living actors in the roles.
prisoner of azkaban is probably the best harry potter movie. getting to see gary oldman, alan rickman, david thewlis and timothy spall acting their asses off together here was legendary

There are still definitely going to be men getting off on this; it's just that part of being attracted to women means at a certain point you've got to accept that you're going to be horny to something a man might also be turned on by.
"Love Lies Bleeding sexualizes lesbians for the male gaze" there is an intimate scene where Kristen Stewart gives her bodybuilder girlfriend a testosterone injection. I don't think straight men could even comprehend the sex in this film, it was not made for them

Do you guys not get how useless this framework is in practice? You can argue that all sex work is technically rape until you're blue in the face but it never does anything to actually materially protect sex workers like Wuornos from actual fucking rapists!
Every John is a rapist & Aileen Wuornos did nothing wrong. Leveraging economic power over impoverished women to extract sex from them that they otherwise would not have is coercive sex, and we have a word for that!

This is probably a hot take, but I think a lot of domestic abusers do love their victims. It's just that love isn't enough to stop them from hurting them and controlling them. Because love isn't some magic force that makes you a good person.

Like the plots of about 50% of classic film noirs are predicated on the concept that no-fault divorce isn't a thing and no one has a prenup.
the straight men trying to roll back divorce rights are clearly ignorant of or too arrogant to take seriously the fact that before no-fault divorce, women would literally murder their husbands.
