“Instead, I saw that the film’s jokes surrounding prison rape — and there are many such jokes and situations — as absolutely mocking and skewering the homophobic undertones and paranoia of male social attitudes and culture. It transpires within a broader vicious satirizing of white privilege and sense of self-entitlement rampant in our society. The film’s primary focus is attacking the toxic mixture of racism and homophobia that leads to white panic over the prospects of prison rape at the hands of ethnic minorities, as a reflection of white fear that their own complacency and tacit acceptance of — if not outright participation in — oppression of minorities and perpetuation of racism, misogyny, and homophobia will inevitably lead to them being assaulted and victimized once they are no longer in a position where power structures favor them for their white skin and male gender.”
Huh.
