Lemony Roluco

Though the message felt really forced, it's the RML I remember so thumbs up. Their reaction to Rachel coming out felt like it was written by a naive kid. These guys from the 90s and who had even less exposure to modern gender politics than the willfully ignorant transphobes not only didnt blink but reacted with the same energy as if Rachel told them her ice cream truck was a rocket. It just felt forced. Or like they didn't want to take the time to have them react and then amicably come to terms with it. Their acceptance seemed kinda rushed. Or in their eagerness to be in with the trans crowd, they went "look, see how quickly they accepted Rachel? Instantly! Aren't we/they so progressive?" Considering how brief and thin Mr. Bigheads struggle was with Rachel coming out, it almost feels like he wasnt that bothered with it to start and it was that it was yet another change and a big one to his child. Like it could have been that Ralph didnt come out and just became a monk and you could put Mr.Bigheads struggle on that storyline and it would for perfectly as a reaction. If a parent is struggling with their kid coming out as trans, it's usually at a much bigger intensity than Mr.Bigheads. Trans is one of those things where if somebody is against it, they're really against it and its not a kinda against it sort of thing. But they didn't want to actually write about a Trans Woman and her journey, they just wanted to shoehorn one onto their movie and get the Good Ally headpat. Glad to see a movie with a trans person and where their being trans is part of the plot but I just wish the delivery was less hollow. I'f you're gonna do it, really do it and not just for brownie points. Put your heart into it.
