    And the gay people that are being included are just sort of token characters, scenes, or facets of a character that can easily be removed if another country finds them objectionable. They’re like “Pride Month” characters just there to show “We’re being inclusive, see?!”

    MEANWHILE, Christians have to make whole fucking movies about their faith. You can’t just have a character who also happens to be Christian and tries to be a good person, nope, it’s got to be Christ-man, the avenging Christian super-hero who worships our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

      I was just recently saying this. It must be so frustrating for so much of their “representation” to just be a stereotypical caricature like almost every time. This applies to pretty much any underrepresented group too. That or always getting stuck with a repurposed character which rarely seems to go very well.

      They are called professional gays. The ones that build themselves an image of flamboyant in your face look at me gayness. I was taught this by an older gay man. They aren’t to be included with real gays. They are to be treated like your average POS narcissistic celebrity.
