They/Them Director John Logan on the Devilish Manipulation of ‘Gay Conversion Therapy’ (Gay Conversion Camp Horror Movie)
MovieMaker ^ | Joshua Encinias

Posted on 08/06/2022 8:11:10 AM PDT by Callahan

John Logan has written many devilish characters for the screen, like Sweeney Todd, Silva from Skyfall, and The Aviator’s take on Howard Hughe. But Logan has created a more ambiguous con man in his new Blumhouse’s movie, They/Them: Owen Whistler, leader of his family’s LGBTQ+ conversion camp, is portrayed by Kevin Bacon. He soothes his suspicious queer campers by using calm, therapeutic rhetoric; he does it to disengage the campers and earn their trust.

Or — as Logan tells MovieMaker — “using the language of the angels to serve the devil.”

They/Them isn’t about any ordinary summer camp. Its counselors throw campers for another loop when they say conversion as optional, but those who engage in the therapy experience a “new sense of freedom.” The facade of “choice” reveals itself when Whistler’s counselors proceed to psychologically break down each camper, even those unwilling to participate. A final threat emerges when a mysterious killer starts claiming victims, forcing the campers into a battle for their identity and their lives…

If someone thinks they are cis-gendered one day, bi the next, and polymorphous the next, I think they/them may be appropriate pronoun as this person/cat has in fact more than one personality. We used to call this a multi-personality disorder and treat it psychologically. Now we threat it physically with gender reassignment operations and hormonal therapy. It might take a Fauci and 50 years of medical “advancement” to deal with the person who wants to be a cat.

in simple terms: the bad guy is the dude converting or REVERTING back to normal faggots and sick poofters who are about to commit monkeypox, and added a villain whom I’m sure based on the premise alone is a white conservative.

Did I get this right?

I used to wonder why the Bible said to remove homosexuals from your society. I always thought it was a little harsh. Now I get it.

Borrowing a phrase from the movies...

It's nothing personal, it's just business

I just learned what incels are. I'd heard the word but my brain is usually busy processing brilliance and I ignore trivialities.

No opinion.. whatever.

But what about the men who can get women but are aware of the high risks involved? Life destroying risks? What are they to do?

I'd hate to be young and single or young and married.

Well I safely skip this one and I suspect 99.99% of movie goers will join me. Who plunks down good money to make a film that has a potential audience of dozens?

Remember all those “kick-ass” comic book movies subsidize this crap.

Should be a horror about people being attacked for refusing to participate in the insane LGBT game.

We’ve got a vice president who feels compelled to introduce herself and announce her preferred pronouns. It’s only a matter of time before they try to force everyone to comply with this nonsense under the color of the law.

I don’t think it is possible to fix what’s broken without lots of people dying.
