"How’s the handsome cousin?”
“I don’t know… I don’t…”
“Speak, Miss Everdeen. Him, I can easily kill off if we don’t come to a happy resolution,” he says. “You aren’t doing him a favor by disappearing into the woods with him each Sunday.”
#that kiss was a national security threat #it was important enough that president snow came all the way to district 12 to try to stomp it out himself #why? #because that kiss was the rebellion #that kiss means that katniss isn’t just some girl head-over-heels in love with peeta #that kiss means that part of how she acted in the games was just for the audience#that kiss means that her relationship with gale is something only for the woods #that kiss means that the berries she put in peeta’s hand weren’t about saving the boy she loves #more than about saving herself #they were rebellion #and this kiss is the key to all of that #of course she loves gale #of course she has to hide it #loving gale is a rebellion in and of itself

In case you forgot, Gale forced that kiss on Katniss because he said he had to try it. In case you haven’t read the books AT ALL, there are so many hints that what Katniss did with Peeta was only fabricated to a small extent. It’s about as subtle as a freight train.

Seriously, that particular kiss wasn’t even returned on Katniss’ part and is in a dubious-consensual area. Romanticizing it as some wonderful, rebellious thing is…no.
Edited to add that this kind of encapsulates one of my major problems with Gale as a character. It’s claimed that he represents rebelliousness, standing up to oppression, etc., but in fact he is consistently shitty, controlling, and demanding in his behavior towards Katniss. Sorry, but there’s nothing revolutionary about a man who thinks he’s entitled to a woman and behaves badly.

The real horror here is that Boys Don’t Cry was based on a true story. Brandon Teena was a real person, who was really brutally raped and killed. The scene that McFarlane is making a sexualized joke out of really happened to a real human being who really died. Because according to McFarlane, breasts exist for men’s amusement, and the total violation and murder of people with breasts is just a big joke because the bodies of women and FAAB people are just hilarious.
When McFarlane reduces Swank’s amazingly powerful performance down to a punchline about her body, he’s doing more than making light of her talent. He’s literally inviting people to laugh at rape and murder. He’s construing breasts as existing for men’s pleasure, whether sexual pleasure or just to make fun of, all the time—even when they belong to people, like Brandon Teena in Boys Don’t Cry, who identify as men. Even when they are exposed as part of a badly injured body, like Charlize Theron in Monster—another film based on a true story. Even when they symbolize the racist sexualization of black women by white men, like Halle Berry in Monster’s Ball. Even when they’re visible during a violent gang rape, as passerby cheer the attackers on, like Jodie Foster in The Accused, once again based on a real-life attack. Even when, like Scarlet Johansson, another target of the boob song, personal nude photographs of them were leaked without consent.
