    kinda cheaty & petty cuz the file was corrupted & we were thankfully saved from the last third, BUT i’m gonna say dragged across concrete as it’s fresh on my mind. n*zi boomer soapboxing & cop-asshole-licking feat. Meltdown Gibson. check out bone tomahawk -> brawl in cellblock 99 -> this if you want to witness the downward spiral of one man’s brainworms

      Bone Tomahawk is already like basically a racist old pulp adventure novel/comic but with extreme violence and an extremely thin excuse of “this well groomed Native American in a suit comes on screen and explains that the bad guys are completely fictional and not related to any actual tribes.”

      So on the one hand it’s surprising that the director wouldn’t stay there right before things just become undeniably racist, but also entirely unsurprising for chuds to push their bullshit as far as it goes.

        yeah like i used to read that kinda shit a bunch so it’s been interesting how tomahawk gets a more & more visceral reaction out of me each time i see it. but yeah it has the kinda plausible deniability that works on the average person, namely the excuse of “oh i was just innocently emulating that old stuff no worries hehe.”

        Bone Tomahawk was so incredibly racist. They even use the line “not real Indians” or some shit. Just wtf. They’re still human, so where did they come from? I was really hoping the “villains” at the end would be eldritch horrors (like literal tentacle monsters with eagle heads oozing pink goop all over the place). But no, it was just humans getting dehumanized to justify ethnic cleansing.

        Watching a colonizer get cut in half was pretty fucking metal, tho.
