On Monday, in a now-deleted Tweet, writer Hanna Rosin criticized Hulu's popular new film "Fire Island" for its so-called failure of the Bechdel test. Rosin wrote that the movie "gets an F- on the Bechdel test in a whole new way. Do we just ignore the drab lesbian stereotypes bc cute gay Asian boys? Is this revenge for all those years of the gay boy best friend?"
By the next day, the Tweet was gone and a whole new string of Tweets had appeared, with an apology. Rosin wrote: "My tweet was careless and thoughtless. Truly. The movie was telling a story about queer AAPI [Asian American Pacific Islander] men, whose experiences don't show up enough in movies or anywhere else … What I had to say was beside the point, not to mention a buzzkill on a fun summer movie."
