    For those who want to know, the person she is subtweeting here is PhilosophyTube. There are RUMORS that they dated, but they are just that. What is confirmed is that they are no longer close or interact with each other, since before PT transitioned.

    The framing device for the tweet is an amateur short film release on YouTube a couple weeks ago called Envy/Desire which is (apparently, I’ve not watched it) about a trans woman dating a cis guy, who is either a chaser or a genuinely questioning/transitioning depending on which post I look at. Either case, the film and the creator are incredibly online and I feel way too old to keep up with that discourse now.

      Two minutes in and the audio mix is absolutely fucked, imperceptible dialog in one shot and then peaking into your eardrum in the next. The first thing you learn about filmmaking is that audio is everything. Sounds like they just decided to keep the audio from whatever came with their camera and called it a day after principal photography.

      Redscare mentioned at 4:40 lmao, yeah I’m out.

      It’s a funny tweet with this context tbh. Fans and twitter in general are/is so fucking toxic, I don’t understand how anyone stays in contact with that site.

        don’t know if it’s full of /tttt/ brainworms or making fun of these brainworms,

        I find this tends to be an extremely thin line. Sometimes it’s both!
