being uncomfy of sa topics but being an alien fan is wild work
this entire question is wild work LMAO?
the origins of alien's theme is all about making males uncomfortable and subjecting them to being forced to the process of impregnation, it forces them to see the horrors of sexual assault, and how brutal birth can be, the facehugger is a symbol of SA, and the chestburster is a symbol of birth and how it rips you apart and will destroy you and your life, and the xenomorph is a product of sexual assault, it's a physical manifestation of the trauma it brings, and it forever leaves a mark on the nostromo crew, dead and alive, alien IS a feminist film, and deliberately puts down men to make them feel discomfort, even the xenomorph is a symbol of feminity, it was intended to be feminine, at the time, in the 1970s, women won their reproductive rights, and the alien movie gave us a heroine that resisted motherhood, pushing it's feminity, if anything, i support the motive and it makes me enjoy the series further, it deals with a sensitive topic in a way i enjoy, because i sure as hell would love to make more people out there really realise how terrible being assaulted is, and how it will always leave a mark on you, whether it scars you physically or emotionally, or kills you, i am more than capable of controlling how i consume content, it's not like someone spontaneously bringing it up, ik what im subjecting myself to, and never has the series and it's symbolism and movement made me uncomfortable, the series perfectly portrays assault for me, i love how it's uniquely and thoughtfully portrayed and u r js a lil loser im afraid lil bro, take this YAP SESSION to show how i really don't fcuking care
