The Wuthering Heights director Emerald Fennell said it was “unfortunate” that a scene showing Margot Robbie’s hairy armpits did not make the final cut, because women in period adaptations are often shown with clean-shaven underarms.
Robbie’s character, Cathy, had “extremely hairy armpits” in the 2026 adaptation of the novel, but “unfortunately the scene that we see them didn’t make it in there”, said the director.
Cathy having unshaven pits “was so important to me”, she said, adding that she often wonders “where are the razors that these women are using?” when watching Jane Austen adaptations.
“They’re all kind of hairless like eels. I’m like: ‘What’s going on? It’s completely mad.’”
I think something pretty normal and understandable that people who are used to drowning in other people’s vocal paraphilias online will immediately and erroneously assume is something sexual.

A shitpost is often a joke, but not always. Sometimes, a shitpost is just a shitpost.
