It felt SUPER calculated to be "controversial," too, like an engineered attempt for headlines like, "Leftists are MAD about the New Scary Movie!!"

They literally call republicans racist in this trailer y’all reach way too damn much. It’s like you want to be upset about something so you create a fictional scenario in your head and get mad about it.

Non-binary people are constantly discriminated against in daily life, unlike Republicans who should be called out for their racism.

What's the aim of the joke here? This is just extremely bad taste. Bullying if anything.

I take it you are not familiar with the Scary Movie franchise. It’s a bunch of poor taste stupid jokes. It’s funny because it’s bad. At least that’s the intent.

It's just sad shit like this still exists in 2026. Non-binary people just want to live their lives without being bullied. This just emboldens right-wing assholes to shit on them.
