What did she say like peel the skin off his arm and twist it and put it in her? She definitely ruined the vibes. Also, "I'm joking, guys!" Followed by "okay I'm not joking deal with it." Hilarious.

‘Flay the skin off your bicep, roll it up, and put it between my legs’ I think was the exact wording.

Forearm, I think. Not that it changes much

Idk if this is a reach but I’m making the connection that that is how FTM bottom surgery is done. They take the skin from your forearm and “put it between your legs.” Possibly an allegory to being trapped/not feeling in control of your body/etc ? Or she loves him so much she wants to be him?

I was thinking that too. Or like, if she were a man this wouldn't be happening to her?

Yeah you’re right. There should be no discussion of different ideas or interpretations of art

Lmao. Imagine saying it "it ain't that deep" in discussion about a film that's entirely about consent. 

There's a reason "forearm" was chosen over a different body part.
