[vespertinev]

She is dating Tim Burton, a lot to draw from

[er1s]

did we have a post for that? This is brand new info to me

[doubtmars]

Um. Why? The premise of the story makes me cringe.

[purpleflwr]

Yeah, it feels ableist to me

[deerlike]

I was going to say it comes across as a bit racist? Like oh, the Filipina maid uses "folk healing" on her and of course that reveals the demon in her that Western medicine couldn't find.

[doubtmars]

I don't trust white people creating these sort of characters for POC.

Uh

I know I’m being super personal here, but as someone with what’s called a “invisible” disease, this is gross to me. I already have people not believing when I’m tired or hurting. I don’t need them watching some stupid horror movie that makes it seem like we’re all lying.

[hiimtish]

This exactly. I was in pain & sick for 34 years with a serious genetic disorder before I got a diagnosis…34 years of doctors ignoring me at best or actively gaslighting me at worst. The last thing we need is a seemingly racist movie acting like illness isn’t really illness.

[anterrabre]

What's the horrifying truth?

[therearewords]

Exactly, tell me (!!)

[doriiansz]

She's a Johnny Depp supporter.
