Sarah Wolter :

YUP. Ironically, it seems to me that Amanda Seyfried understands this complexity - at least that’s how she comes across in the film.

Dani Turner :

This is the take

Carrie Saum :

She has done what the vast majority of white women do. We maintain our proximity to powerful men who perpetrate abuse as a means to protect ourselves. That protection comes at a cost, though. We choose to also become perpetrators of abuse in exchange for a small piece of that power. She had children with him on purpose. She didn’t want to become a mother. She knew it was another means to maintain that proximity to power.

future tense :

Hot take: I think Elizabeth Holmes behaves like your average tech bro.

dr rejectsuperstar :

the white mother archetype too!

Liz Plank :

exactly elizabeth holmes really looked at white woman tears and said what if we scaled this 😭

G Colorado :

So now we’re going to infantilize a grifter?

Mandy jam :

Say it louder

Celebrity #6 Has Gay Face :

Anyone who sees that Lasers license plate and comes away thinking Billy is the mastermind worries me.

user346284547 :

I was thinking this the whole time, notice how she has all of these strongmen archetypal men supporting her - her dad (former Enron CEO), her romantic partners, the wealthy shareholders of Theranos (Gen Mattis, fking Kissenger)- she’s not a victim, she’s just good at handling these types of people

Recoveringfromdoxx aka Edith :

I knew ALL ABOUT Theranos and I still left being like….wait IS she a victim? For about 5 minutes before I was like OMFG she conned me! she did that shit and she’s a pure sociopath.

the.cari.chronicles :

I am watching The Dropout before I see the new movie to recall the details. It’s so crazy….

Andrea Marchant :

Your take is thoughtful, nuanced, and accurate. This is why I was so looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the film!

Piper in France :

your breakdown is flawless

Selenas.musings :

Yvan Vivid :

I'm so glad to see so many people on here putting this take out there, and cutting through the marketing induced culturally regressive stupor people keep falling into, which clearly prevents them from halting the constant delivery of power into the hands of deranged psychopaths.

meepbeep_eep :

They’ve been Holme’d

Brenda :

💯 agree on every point. Similarly, “she seems autistic” angle people are taking (same demographic btw) is really frustrating to see. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Rhinobb :

Yes, thank you!!! I am floored people harping on her victimhood

Alyssa :

Yep. Nailed this take.

mmmm393911111 :

Nope I came away saying g she’s the mastermind

Krisiscozy :

Anyone else watch I love Boosters? Best way to explain Elisabeth Holmes Imo

Cactaceae :

This is very common trait of manipulative ppl- they always need a human buffer between their deeds and themselves so they can play victim and deny.

The ginger menace 🍉 :

I’ve not seen it yet but the scene with the egg pissed me off.

datacorrupt :

I do believe that there are a lot of reasons to discredit the work she did from an insurance/medical finance standpoint very publicly. I’m less interested in like if she was lying and more like why it was so sensationalized, fraud happens all the time.
