These connections need to be made, thanks for talking about this! I must admit I haven't seen The Substance - I really want to, I'm so passionate about its main topic, but I don't do well with blood and gore and disgusting stuff. I really hate it. So I'm not sure it's one for me. But this perspective is so important and not often discussed at all. The Sexual Politics of Meat is one of my favourite books on animal rights.

What a great perspective—definitely thought-provoking. Thank you for pointing out these connections. I also believe the director intentionally used animals to portray the abuse, and, like you said, it would be amazing to see a deeper commentary on this.

This feels like a step in the right direction, and the more we discuss it, the closer we get to making it a reality. So, thank you for sharing your thoughts and starting this conversation!
