watched this movie again last night, got mixed feelings. the songs are good but this being the closest thing to mainstream cultural trans acceptance bugs me, makes me sad that frank-n-furter is the first thing the avg cis ally thinks of when trans women come up, an alien who builds a muscle man to fuck and is just a homosexual in ill fitting clothes. what about yous, you get what i meant here?

Never watched it.

It served a positive role at the time but culture has moved on and what serves us has moved on, it's as simple as that. I hold no ill will toward Tim Curry and co., I only wish the cis public could be emotionally intelligent enough to move on to more up-to-date culture themselves.

Well the movie was from the 70s and the creator identifies as some kind of theymab on HRT. When you view it as coming from a repressed trans woman in the 70s it makes a lot of sense. It has a message of "don't indulge too much in degeneracy as it will only end badly for you".
The character of Brad is O'Brien's repressed self at the time, tip-toeing into femininity while Frank n Furter is his shadow self, what he is scared of becoming and is ultimately punished in the end while conformity is rewarded.
