I mean I enjoyed I Shot Andy Warhol too but calling Valerie Solanas "rad" when her takes were that awful is kind of sus...
Why are you telling people to read a piece of transphobic propaganda
I’m not telling anyone to read Harry Potter.
spoiler
The concept of terfs didn’t even exist when Valerie Solanas was alive, I’m not saying she isn’t a problematic figure but she is one of the most important lesbians of the 20th century. Andy Warhol exploited neurodivergent people and made money off it, he was a gay capitalist who got shot by one of the people he (probably) tried to exploit. There is debate as to whether he stole or just misplaced the script Valerie wrote but like, Warhol was no saint.But that was an unintentional performance art moment that was set in motion by Andy Warhol, just like all art forever after literally owes Andy Warhol for its existence! He is laughing from art heaven right now about how everyone is just an ignorant meat puppet dancing to his eternal subversive tune in a very punk way!
