I love the dumbass chucky movies and I’m glad Brad is back voicing chucky.

It’s just so hard for me though to go yeah yeah a teen boy will have a doll. A gay teen, doesn’t have enough problems in society and so he will have a doll.

Yet I can shut off the disbelief and let said doll be a mass murdering fuck head lmao.

Still going to check it out. Hope it’s fun.

I work with LGBTQ+ teens and honestly a pretty large percentage of them probably would carry around a hideous doll at school. They bring all kinds of weird shit into the youth center.

I don’t know why I find this so oddly heartwarming and fascinating but there ya go.

Bless weirdness.

Glad they have a safer space for it and the rec center

what's your top 3 of weird shit

This I could get behind.

Swiss army action Chuck! Comes with 4 kinds of blades, 2 screw drivers, wrench, flint, alibi instructions, and can opener!

I’m always here for LGBTQ narratives that aren’t like teen romances and dramas.

I just wish sci fi/fantasy would step up its game. I know Star Trek is doing decent rep but we could always use more.
