My analysis of Emilia Perez is up on Patreon! Hollywood loves to pat itself on the back for “progress”—but who does this progress actually serve? Emilia Perez is being celebrated as groundbreaking, but it’s the same tired liberal narrative dressed up as representation wrapped in racist stereotypes that treat marginalized identities as aesthetic props for Oscar bait.
From the smug liberal self-congratulation to the industry’s ongoing refusal to uplift actual marginalized stories, Emilia Perez is everything wrong with Hollywood’s version of “diversity.”
This isn’t progress—it’s a dangerous cycle that reinforces white supremacy and cisnormativity while pretending to be revolutionary. Let’s talk about why this matters.
We deserve better.
