  something something transphobic Silence of the Lambs joke

    I haven’t seen silence of the lambs, so only really know it through popular culture. I know there. Is some element of gender identity to the story but not much else.

    Is the whole thing transphobic, like when they make villains queer coded, or do you mean something else?

      In the film there is a villain character named Buffalo Bill who murders young women and harvests their skin to make a woman suit they can wear to become a woman after being rejected by gender-affirming clinics for being mentally unstable.

      There is a famous scene where Buffalo Bill has abducted a woman and keeps her in a well, and a basket with lotion is sent down and Buffalo Bill says a now famous line: “It rubs lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again.” This is a threat if she doesn’t moisturize and take care of her skin, since that’s what is intended to be harvested from her.

      There’s another iconic scene when Buffalo Bill is putting on makeup and jewelry and in the mirror saying “Would you fuck me? … I would fuck me. I would fuck me. I would fuck me so hard.”

      This is perhaps one of the biggest and most impactful instances of transphobia in film, and served as an anchor in the 1990s for how people thought about trans women, as deranged psychopathic perverts (similar to how at the time all gay men were believed to be pedophile rapists).

      There were even protests held against the film at the time.

      Since OP’s post is about lotion and criminality, my assumption is that some Silence of the Lambs joke is inevitable, so I thought I’d get ahead of it.

  I don’t have enough skin.

  The cops beat down the door . . .

  I really thought it was going another direction, where they’d just, you know, get more skin.

    Is it true that they have transcended the tyranny of friction?

      Knowing them, I’d expect nothing less honestly.

    Hand lotion is a mixture of water, oil and an emulsifier! I don’t think an apolar diluent can have any place in it?

    But I am sure its flavored very pleasantly regardless

      I’ve been wondering why so much sunscreen has alcohol, exactly because of what you explained. Do you happen to know?

      No alcohol? Sorry, can’t think of any use of that substance. Throw it away then…
