Ayelen S: Hermoso y bien estructurado artículo.

Ishika Banerjee: I wish it was sluttier :/

Ishika Banerjee: This is a very interesting take. While I agree with you that straight, white, cisgender men will probably have a harder time truly understanding the social and political struggles they don't have to face, and may inadvertently use them as an artistic device, I wouldn't say they should necessarily be denied or banned from exploring these topics. I believe everyone should be artistically allowed to express or portray whichever story they want, but they should be prepared to receive criticism if those roles aren't depicted authentically. If a director is open to working with and listening to people from marginalized communities while making their film (something that has been done successfully before), then I think this approach could help foster a more inclusive filmmaking community. It’s about promoting understanding, rather than trying to shame someone for “exploiting” or “glorifying” minorities, as if they chose to be part of those communities (again, none of us choose our ethnicity, race, gender, or sexuality). I agree that the trope of men directing lesbian couples can often be over-sexualized, as if men are portraying these relationships according to their own desires. However, that ignores the fact that women, too, can objectify other women, have fantasies, and partake in behaviors that men often exhibit. It’s important to acknowledge that just because a marginalized community is portrayed in a film, it doesn’t automatically make that portrayal a representation of the entire group. Some films do provide representation, while others are just personal stories. Representation is crucial, and authentic, true representation is even more essential in raising awareness and normalizing these communities. But in order to do this, we can’t accept the idea that there is only one “correct” way to portray them just because it aligns with your personal experience or identity. I appreciate your article, and it brings me back to my point: directors and writers who don’t belong to these communities, but want to share their stories, should do so by listening to and respecting the voices of those communities. By doing this, they can create art that reflects both their own vision and the authenticity of both experiences.
