"The Celluloid Closet" essentially ascribes the death of the Hays Code to general audiences getting sick of it and I think that's neat, that even average joes back in the day went to see crossdressing and (other) illegal things onscreen and they liked it!!! A lot!!!!

#then again if i had to live thru the transition from pre-code to hays code movies id strange the guy myself #wonderfully creative medium to nothing but cowboy nonsense all too keep women and minorities out of the industry #like obviously bigotry is worse than bad media but its funny that the two go hand in hand #u shot everyone in the foot! just so u have to pretend john waynes racist fucking ass can act #anyways happy hollywood is sooo unproblematic today 🙃#also 'keep out' is a poor choice of words #tumblr is just bad w editing tags #early hollywood was easily its most diverse era--- it didnt become all white men by accident lol #abs blabs
