Wuthering Heights— What is the cost of love?
Ass 4 Sale
Ass4Sale revolves around the phenomenon of twerking, a dance form that has gained increasing popularity in western culture since Miley Cyrus’ uncritical appropriation in 2013. Rezaire investigates the mechanisms of cultural appropriation that have stripped twerking of its African origins and culture. As a former ritual of fertility, twerking is strongly tied to the black female body. Assimilated and disseminated as a mainstream phenomena and commodity fetish, it has been decontextualised from issues of race, gender, privilege and ownership. Racist double standards are exposed as the practice of twerking, considered “ghetto” and over-sexualised in the context of black culture, becomes fashionable and trendy once adopted and assimilated – upholding and reinforcing myths about black female sexuality.

The Rise of Skywalker, the Fall of Rey
It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to.

And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
