I watched the octopus documentary on Netflix and no one has any form of sex with an octopus and it’s gorgeously filmed and not erotic/romantic and I cried at the end.

Just a very personal and beautiful nature documentary about a wild, hugely intelligent creature getting used to having you around and looking forward to your visits.

I do think he should have left his son’s name and image out of the documentary because the “OCTOPUSSY” jokes are gonna be bad at school from people who didn’t see it.

I would not normally preface a nature documentary recommendation with “it’s not erotic” but some people did think it was erotic and I don’t want to scare anyone off this movie.

People are definitely saying the dude had sex with the octopus based on someone else claiming it and I am here to tell you: it’s just a lovely nature documentary free of human/octopus sex.

I’m sure the creator loved the octopus but basically any viewer who is not a robot will also love the octopus.

And, of course, people may have different interpretations and life is a rich tapestry.

But he does not fuck the octopus or signal a desire to fuck the octopus.

I apologize to anyone who was EXCITED to see a sexy human-on-octopus movie and is now sad.

There are now over 700 quote tweets on a “they have an erotic relationship” thread from right-wingers who have not seen the movie wanting to boycott Netflix, or I really would not have clogged your timeline by stating that a documentary does not involve man/octopus sensuality.

Have a blessed day! Watch it if you like nature docs or cephalopods, and also it’s sad at the end in a Charlotte’s Web way so if you show your kids, keep that in mind.

(I am now offline for the day bc “explaining to virtual strangers that a man does not try to have sex with an octopus in a Netflix documentary” seems like all the Twitter experience I need.)
