Hey go somewhere else with your gay friends and take your woke nonsense to hell with you and they/them.

I do agree with this statement. I’ve been around the block long enough to recognize it. Many people tend to fall in love with an idealized image of a person, but not the actual person. They also can think they’ve fallen in love with someone when all they really like is the warm and fuzzy feeling they get when standing next to them. It’s not only teenagers who are affected, but grown-ups, too. I’ve seen the story end when the broken-hearted teenage girl discovers her schoolgirl crush wasn’t the dreamboat she thought he was, and many tragic romances where the helplessly lovesick woman uproots herself to marry an abusive grunt of a man who doesn’t deserve her. Love is a crazy and confusing thing.

The thing is, one of the oft-repeated woke mantras is “love is love”, which means if someone thinks he or she loves another, there shouldn’t be any barriers to it, and wokeness loves to celebrate queerness. I’ve had the misfortune of standing in the same room with woke shows where a queer character is celebrated for doing immature and disrespectful things toward a love interest, partner or family member that might get an ordinary person reprimanded, smacked on the mouth or possibly even arrested. Queerness in general tends to be related more to poor impulse control than true love, so queer characters aren’t really expected to follow the rules that makes a healthy relationship work.

well, if the reasonning is because there is some people that do something then it has to be portrayed then we have to show people into dead people or into dogs or into children because they stadistically exist. Of course, also the percentage of people who practice any conduct will grow if you push the conduct down children´s throat because a percentage of children will see the people who are portrayed as role models and when the movie gets to a wide spectrum of the population then it will certainly have a strong impact on the conduct of the population. Think of it, there is a reason why companies pay millions for product placement and why some hero cars become icons just because they appeared in a movie next to the protagonist.

Children know heterosexuality is a thing because having parents is such an inherent part of society, and it’d be impossible to keep it from them, but trying to teach children about the wide range of sexuality is a very bad idea and causes all sorts of problems. If it’s not for kids, and if it’s for anyone, it’s for adults.

Sam Wilson is a terrorist sympathizer who refused to fight the woman blowing up buildings with people inside and shows more outrage to the senator who wanted people to give back the stuff they took from the now Unsnapped. Thats just obvious that you don’t get to keep things from the presumed dead.

My Brother in Christ, Steve Rogers got to be a hero, kick ass, save the world, then go back to be with the woman he loved. Lived a long life AND a good life, then handed the torch to a friend. Perfect, satisfying arc, no notes. I get irked when writers change a character’s defining qualities, for sure, but they didn’t change anyone’s character, just the person who wields the shield. Besides, the Captain isn’t defined by his race, he’s defined by his strength and his values. Knowing how Steve Rogers felt about nazis, he would have NO time for anyone who’s offended by the next Captain being black lmao.

Eh. If the girls in the stories you’re talking about are teenagers – young love is always at least a little bit stupid, and teenagers ARE immature. Literally, brains haven’t finished developing. It’s not even a gay vs straight thing. Romeo and Juliet is a literary masterpiece starring two complete idiots.

Hard agree that romances should feel organic to the story. Gay or straight, “And then they kissed because we forgot other ways to end a movie” is the worst. Ditto when actors don’t have chemistry. I don’t think gay characters are automatically adult content though. Obviously, graphic content of any orientation doesn’t belong in a kids’ movie, but there’s nothing lewd about a gay couple holding hands or having a picnic, or a guy having a picture of his husband on his desk at work. A percentage of the population is gay irl, it’s more weird and unrealistic imo if filmmakers go out of their way to make everyone appear straight lol
