The dilema here is if it is it really earnest representation if they're only doing it to drive up ticket sales? And like I said, I don't think the movie itself is doing this, because before now nobody even knew because it was never mentioned or promoted, nor is it being treated like a big twist. But thanks to the likes of Ghostbusters, a lot of people are conditioned to assume the most cynical of motives for things like this. After all, this isn't a heartfelt passion project indie movie, it's a generic, souless, corperate machine designed to hock toys. And the thing is, nobody here has stated they're against her sexuality, rather than they're against it's use as a gimmick. Quote:

Personally, I'm down for it. I wasn't going to go out of my way to see the movie before and I'm not going to now, but I've got no complaints about Trini or any of the other characters being LGBT. |

And honestly, I don't really mind gay Trini. Certainly gives more to her character than the original '93 Trini had, which I'm pretty sure was just "the other girl Ranger." Would've preferred gay Billy just because I think Mr. Yost might appreciate it on a personal level (hell, I saw the title of this thread and immediately thought it was going to be Billy). |

Just look at Supergirl. Turning Alex into a lesbian was hands down the worst thing they could do for the show not only because it completely altered her character from the first season and that it started to take up half of the run time of an episode, but also the actress is completely uncomfortable whenever she has to talk about how much she loves Maggie.

A word of advice: educate yourself on LGBT rights and representation. Look up the extraordinarily high rates of suicide, depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses compared to non-LGBT groups, and then look up how media representation effects those numbers. From my own personal experience, I was a depressed, suicidal, teenaged wreck until I discovered Wildstorm Comics' Apollo and Midnighter. Seeing these characters represented as competent, gay badasses in my favorite medium literally saved my life. They gave me the courage to keep on going. I cannot overstate how wrong you are right now, and how dangerous your mindset is. This is literally just the tip of the iceberg, but here are a few starting points: This article is about gay representation in comics. This is a good primer on queer representation in general. As is this. And this is an article from 2016 about how queer representation in media has actually decreased. If you're unwilling to educate yourself, drop out of this conversation now before you offend a ton of people (which actually, you've already done). I'll close with a quote from one of the above articles: "We LGBT people are not broken. We are not unworthy. We too can be superheroes, we too can be blessed and uplifted. We too are deserving of respect." Respect is something an awful lot of people are very eager to deny us. |
Was expecting Billy given the history.
