so you know that scene after simon has been outed and he’s in his room and just breaks down, throwing pillows and sobbing? that’s the most honest and real scene i’ve seen in my entire life about being outed. i absolutely lost my shit watching it because i knew that exact feeling- after the shock the absolute mix of anger and humiliation, and shame. it was one of the most painful and important things about the movie, and honestly, no straightcis person who watches that is ever going to understand that exact feeling and feel that same pain.
