      I think it’s kind of a matter of semantics. If you phrase it as “I want to help my partner grow into a better person”, you could be saying the same thing, but everyone is going to say “Aww, that’s so sweet”.

      For me at least, I appreciate a partner who pushes me to be a better version of myself.

            As a kid, I saw Tarzan as “haha monke man go ooaooaooaoooaooo”.

            As an adult, I interpret its message as integration being contingent upon conformity and usefulness to society.

              He expressly did NOT conform to their vision of (English) humankind and instead brought them to his world in the jungle, at the end.

                He wasn’t accepted among the adult gorillas until he killed the leopard. Then he was only seen by the explorers as a scientific curiosity, and by the poachers as a means to find the gorillas.

                  Yeah? But that wasn’t the end of the movie? Those are the challenges in his way before the end of the movie. Where the moral comes in?

                  He kills a leopard, proving to the gorillas that he is strong enough to go with them. Their issue (and primarily the leader of the pack’s issue) is that he isn’t as adept at survival because of his human body. Tarzan was failing their expectation of “survival of the fittest” that they have because they are gorillas. But now they aren’t openly ostracising him, even if the leader is still prejudiced against him.

                  Then the humans come, who look like him. He doesn’t have to struggle so hard to fit in, like he did with gorillas. He even fell in love. But then he found out that just because these humans looked more similar to him, that didn’t mean they cared about the same things he did. In killing Clayton in defense of his biggest gorilla detractor (and consequently his gorilla family), he’s rejecting the apparent human connection and Kerchak, the gorilla leader, finally accepts the sincerity of Tarzan’s devotion to community despite assuming Tarzan would side with them.

                  Everyone learns lessons.

                  Did y’all just turn off the movie when Tarzan starts walking on two feet?

      (slightly funny for me to say this on a greentext comm, but)

      I hope you don’t go around actually saying that to overweight people who are working hard on improving themselves, you might as well be saying:

      “What are you even bothering for? You’ve fucked it. Game over. Damage done.”

      And for a percentage of those people, that’s going to be the line that does make them give up on improving themselves.

        I mean it is true though, I know from firsthand experience. So it’s additional evidence that the poster is full of shit and made this up as a weird fantasy where they get to be clever and also objectify women lol

    Doesn’t anon mean “but” instead of “and” in the last sentence? It’s annoying me how often people seem to mix these two words
