U.K. outfit Blue Finch Films has snagged worldwide sales rights (excluding Australia and New Zealand) to the buzzy animated feature “Lesbian Space Princess,” ahead of its world premiere in the Panorama section at next month’s Berlin Film Festival.I'm sure they'll claim it's just a satirical joke as defense, but this kind of man-hating and anti-white propaganda is no laughing matter. It's racially insulting, and if it were written the other way around (male homosexual prince "saving" boyfriend from women of whatever background), it'd be just as reprehensible, possibly worse. When they make the allusions that blatantly obvious, something is terribly wrong. It's a shame animation's become an excuse for pushing these kind of identity politics, but unfortunately, what may have been a serious problem for longer than we think is still prevalent, and become even worse now.
The debut feature from Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese follows a sheltered space princess who embarks on a galactic mission to rescue her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend from the Straight White Maliens. The film, which blends sci-fi and comedy elements, puts queer women of color front and center in its narrative.

This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
