Everything I've heard/read about this makes it seem like an excellent 90s-style fandub (the kind they'd screen late at night at anime cons, like Evangelion: ReDeath). Haven't gotten around to watching it yet, though.

Did they actually get approval for a public screening using Sailor Moon footage? I know stuff like this exists on youtube, but there is a big difference between what flies on youtube compared to a public screening at a big event.

Is "folx" being used ironically here?

Probably not, over the past few years I've gotten an fair number of email announcements from academic conferences that have used the word seriously, so it doesn't feel out of place within the context of a queer film festival announcement. At any rate, I've reached the age where I just assume that any word I don't understand is slang for teens or college students.

"Folx"?! What is "folx"?! I honestly thought it was a typo. I'm not even that old, but the language changes so fast and unnecessarily it's tantamount to self-parody. "Folk" is already a gender-neutral term. It's ridiculous.

I will never understand the appeal of this kind of garbage and how disrespectful it is that you are completly shitting on the original creators work by not making a fandom but turning it into a sex crazed dark fandub with profanity and every steriotype imaginable. I understand things like this are on youtube but are we actually at an age where these types of things are able to be approved at an actual real life screening? This is the world we live in now, this is crazy.

It's wild to me that this sort of thing is associated with Youtube today, and not cons/screenings. Before Youtube, this sort of stuff was everywhere at conventions.
...but not just conventions, though. Fandub-level changes made their way into official, non-gag dubs, just because anime was expected to be "edgier" than Western stuff, so if it wasn't, the translators made sure it was. (It was years before I learned that all the homophobic slurs in Cromartie High School were added to the dub, in order to make the characters sound more vulgar and South Park-y.) This kind of all culminated with the Ghost Stories and Shin Chan dubs, which at that point changed so much that fans apparently decided "enough is enough".

Most anime parody fandubs I don't really find all that funny besides maybe Yugioh Abridged and that classic Evangelion ReDeath parody. I watched the trailer they put out for this fandub and the jokes didn't seem all that much funnier than your typical parody to warrant special screening at a film festival. I wish them the best of luck in dealing with copyright but this all screams publicity stunt to me.

While this is particularly egregious, it does follow a pattern we've seen in recent years. I'm repeating what I said on Twitter, but since the late 1990s, Canada has gone from having exclusive traveling Sailor Moon stage shows to being completely ignored as a market by Toei and Viz. It's not surprising that unauthorized productions and events like this keep popping up.

Not exactly sure the reason or who’s ‘at fault’ but Canada hasn’t had anime on tv in decades even. Netflix in Canada basically only has Netflix originals now, death note, koroko basketball, and a few others I can count on one hand.

Calm down. Parody dubs have been a part of anime fandom since at least the 1980's. It's just people having a good time with material they love.

for real though this sounds... deeply juvenile! it should be noted i'm saying this as a queer person who loves to ruthlessly make fun of the things they love but reading that description truly had me grimacing.

It’ll probably be at least as good as the DiC and Cloverway dubs.
