i sort of feel a lot of the queer analysis i see of scream neglects the specific tension between billy and sidney around the fact that she won't put out

not to suggest the queer subtext isnt there i think theres an argument to be made for like. he shows up at her house to try sex again after their first onscreen kill and attempting to dip back into that heterosexual performance can be a way of offsetting the shame while also dealing w/ adrenaline

Show Post

but scream is SO interested in women in the eroticization of their suffering and the projections placed on them by the audience's eye and by the men around them. sidney's final girl virgin status is a result of a traumatic encounter with sexual violence

Show Post

i think that queer reads of ghostface can engage in that very directly, the ways the performance of violent heterosexuality is demanded of closeted men. but not with a read that begins and ends at they're secretly gay and that's why they're disillusioned

she is black and orange because she is halloween
