YMMV / They/Them (2022)

• Anvilicious: While the anti-conversion therapy and pro-inclusivity message isn't bad on its own, a number of critics have lambasted that the message is pushed so hard that the film forgets it's supposed to be a horror movie at times.
• Complete Monster: Owen Whistler is the founder of the Whistler conversion camp. Masquerading as a camp designed to help teenagers and young adults within the LGBTQ+ community, Whistler's true intentions are to destroy their lifestyles in hopes of making them heterosexual. Said methods include emotionally and psychologically manipulating the campers or physically torturing them, especially with the use of shock-induced aversion therapy; some of the campers in question were only children. One of Owen's victims was Angie Phelps, a teenager who was so broken from Owen's torture that she tried to commit suicide multiple times. Unable to cope with Owen's abuse, Molly would later grow up and exact revenge on him and all the other staffers within the camp. Even after killing the other counselors and confronting Owen, the latter refuses to atone for any of his sins, claiming that what he did was for their benefit when it was really for his own.
• Narm:
  • The gang's sudden burst into song via P!nk's "Perfect" can feel more awkwardly hilarious rather than heartwarming.
  • Veronica and Kim's sex scene on the dock can be this due to how abruptly it starts:
    Kim: I keep expecting Jason Voorhees to come out of these woods.
    Veronica: Who?
    [Begins making out]
  • Cora quoting a Bible verse and then immediately following it up with a Slasher Smile can definitely come across as a little silly.
  • When Molly kills Owen using a rhino horn mounted on the cabin wall, the scream she does while doing it sounds like a neighing horse.
• Narm Charm: Molly's "Respect, Renew, Rejoice, REVENGE!" is cheesy as all hell, but it's immensely satisfying to hear the Whistlers' motto be completely turned against them.
• Rooting for the Empire: Considering that the killer is only killing those who abused the campers and never once targets the campers themselves, it's very hard to not root for Molly.
• Signature Scene: The scene where the gang sings P!nk's "Perfect" is definitely the most famous scene in the movie.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: A lot of critics faulted it for this. They said that far more could be done using the conversion therapy camp setting with a mostly LGBT+ cast, rather than just ending up with a bog-standard slasher film aside from that one difference.
