@patrick_sproull also frustrating that she deflected to how she’s overly criticised as a female director, which is entirely valid but doesn’t engage with the original question. if you’ve made a movie about it then it’s not inherently sexist to ask you about how your class interacts w/ your art!

@marinashutup @BitchMedia This was a really good article that deconstructed why white people are viewed as authoritative figures in a logical and objective manner. I hope people reading this won’t get defensive and take these comments to heart. I adore Natalie, but we need more POC voices in these spaces!
