You know, I've always got to wonder about that. Seems like there's less actual subtext and more people with rainbow-tinted lenses and wishful thinking.
I dunno, it just seems like two unrelated, hell, it applies even to blood siblings it seems, guys can't have a meaningful relationship with each other without people questioning their sexuality. It... actually is part of why I don't like the changes in Beauty and the Beast. Not so much that he's gay, personally stopped giving a shit back when Gobber got Word of Gayed, but the reasoning behind it... that and... dang it, I don't know how to do spoilers on this forum... And I've noticed that too. Hell, platonic intimacy as a whole has gotten oversexualized, regardless of coupling (though with men it seems more prominent for some reason). Not that I personally care much, intimacy is already a shitshow with how my brain is wired. Also you do it like this. |

Ah, thanks. Anyway,La Fou makes Heel-Face Turn at the end of the film, and we all know why... La Fou's a little psycho gremlin of a man in the original, but now that he's gay, we can't have that...
Just annoys the crap out of me. |

"It's pandering!"
If you use this argument you can suck a salty sausage at McDonald's because you don't realize the risks. Russia is anti LGBT so the movie is all but guaranteed to flop there and a theatre in Alabama outright BANNED Beauty and the Beast just because there was a gay character. Christ, next they'll be people in the Marvel thread whining how that in Spidey's school there's a lot of ethnical diversity like a real school and call it pandering

Holy taxonomies, Batman.
I have negative interest in getting involved in this discussion, but this is, technically speaking, and even not technically speaking, completely incorrect. Humans are not monkeys. Methinks you were thinking of apes, if anything. It's also a completely irrelevant point to make. But, you know. |

The only way for humans not to be monkeys is if you discount new world monkeys as monkeys and state that monkeys first began after the split between apes and old world monkeys.

Christ, next they'll be people in the Marvel thread whining how that in Spidey's school there's a lot of ethnical diversity like a real school and call it pandering I also love how straight people think they get to decide what's pandering to gay people and what's not. They have no idea what our lived experiences are, and thus do not get to qualify our (paltry, infrequent) representation. And as we've both pointed out -- pandering to what end??? So that a movie can alienate large portions of the global audience and risk making significantly less money? If the almighty gay dollar was so important, you'd see all sorts of gay characters in every Marvel, DC, Transformers, Fast and the Furious, etc etc etc movie. But reality check: there have been two "blink and you miss it" gay characters in modern blockbusters, confirmed by one half-second shot in Beauty and the Beast and one campfire scene in Power Rangers where Trini doesn't even say she's gay. The people making these ludicrous pandering claims are living in some bizarre alternate reality where gay people are apparently so powerful that movies must pander to them in order to be successful. Please, open a portal to this alternate universe and I will gladly join you in this, apparently horrifying, gay dystopia. |

Who the hell goes to a drive in these days anyway? I guess if you need a private spot to spank your cousin you do... Anyway, hopefully the movie will be good. Anyone else seeing it Thursday night?
