I read them as being parallel to the film’s depiction of Christianity: “hey this is going to be so, so great, except you’re going to have to die first.” That parallel is why crosses don’t do anything to vampires (iirc) but hoodoo (shown as an expression of black life) does.

I dunno, I guess I would say this is more an expression of a civic virtue that doesn’t need to pretend bad faith attacks are anything but lies. It’s virtuous to respond to racist, authoritarian fantasies with “lol. lmao.”

This looks great!

My dad is from Mexico City and he LOVES that shit. He’ll fry up a corn tortilla tostada-style and slather it in mayo. I like mayo too, but not nearly as much as that man.

Yep, this is the one.
