Here's a thread of normalized things in tamizh cinema which in no way is normal at all!

Female leads/Villainesses who are given those roles only to make them psychotic so that hero can have a chance to slap/abuse them, in other words to showcase HEROISM https://twitter.com/apisha2000/status/1380008570633261060

The 'I CANT TAKE A NO, SO MUST KIDNAP OR BE EXTREMELY SEXIST TOWARDS WOMEN GANG'

The obsession with a woman's waist.

And yes. Even if she's a dead ghost we will still say shit like 'her waist is so good. Of course he killed her'

The 'I can slap her if she annoys me' and 'He's an asshole but at least he's mine'

Even Kamal who is very "progressive" did not shy away from using slurs against gay people in vettaiyadu vilayadu.

I'm not saying these are the only movies in tamizh and don't intend to portray tamizh movies in a bad light. I'm tamizh and I want our people to progress.

It's seen in other movie industries in India too

I can go on with this maybe I'll add more movies or things as I recall

tw // rape

The openly celebrated harassment of Avantika in Baahubali. If the hero does it's not rape!

Dhanush has a genre for misogyny, stalking, violence and hatred against women

His brother did apologize for hateful lyrics in his movies but dhanush hasn't. Idk about him in real life but these are the movies, the ones that appealed to the 'soup' boys made him famous today!

I don't have the energy to speak about Simbu's movies. It's the same as Dhanush but with simbu

Please watch this if you understand tamizh. He's explained literally everything in detail

When I update next I'll talk about the comedy in tamizh cinema!! That's all for now
