Video essay by Jessie Gender: She covers the recently released new “Spiderverse” movie and its allusions to trans issues and goes on to cover the more openly queer movie “Nimona”. Her essay explores the subject of how Hollywood tends to adopt seemingly successful elements and commodifies them for profit, which will - inevitably - also happen with queer topics.

Contains spoilers for “Beyond the Spiderverse” and “Nimona”

    I watched this last night, it’s an excellent video essay, content warning for transphobia - the deluge of nastiness at the beginning almost made me nope out but the second half is less bad. Also does anyone have the link to the Queer Rage video she mentioned?
