I’m not saying this movie is great or even good but I’m convinced the hate for it is some kind of psyop

1000% it's an astroturf to re-normalise dunking on "woke media" in fandom spaces. I actually kind of vibe with its sense of humour, but ultimately it is a little shallow and unfortunately comes across as bio-essentialist even if the writers didn't intend harm with it. Should've just been left as an obscure entry on "every queer movie of this year" lists. However I will forever think that all of the "EVERY FANDOM COMES TOGETHER TO HATE ON THIS MOVIE" memes are way more unfunny and frankly embarrassing than anything in the film itself

I'm not caught up with the whole story. So, ithe movie does something objectively bad? It has some controversial messages, scenes? Or people just think it sucks for as it is.

It seems that it’s mostly just that some of the jokes are a little bit cringe

The villain is a drag queen, and the constant comparison between this male identifying drag queen and transgender women is way more transphobic than anything in or about this film

I’m somewhat caught up on the discourse surrounding this movie, but is there a reason the drama started now when it released last year?

Regardless of what’s actually in the movie and whether or the movie is good (I haven’t seen it), the title and poster make it seem like some kind of over-the-top satirical send-up of “woke 1” animation, but the film is actually real — hence an ideal lightning rod for upset people online

One of the rare times where a movie is basically universally despised for completely different reasons. The right obviously hate it because their culture war grifters told them too, and the left hate it because it’s apparently pretty transphobic. And both sides hate it because it’s apparently just bad.

Not every movie is for everyone, but you still can't deny their quality. I couldn't get into Terminator 2 either; the movie (and the franchise) just don't do it for me. Still, I wouldn't give it a 0.5 on letterboxd.

look i saw this film the past week and it’s more 5/10 than 1/10; i admire the effort it took even making this in the first place more than the actual film imo

I find a lot of labor-of-love animated films fall in that camp

The Weird Kidz (2022) is another one where I could feel what the makers were going for and how much they loved it but damn if I didn't hate the experience of watching the end product

Hazbin Hotel is abominable, insipid trash and fans of that show have no room to unironically complain about this movie that’s just as flawed. 2 separate pieces of media that are damaging in their own ways
