And? Big whoop? They made that line as if it was the most important thing in the world and was the most outrageous excuse one could make that drew everyone's attention to him and him alone. Akin to if he said, "I have cancer!"
sharewho?
shareYeah, I was enjoying the movie well enough until that moment and it completely took me out of it. What is with Hollywood's neverending obsession with gay people?
shareIt sounds like you're the one with the gay obsession.
shareNah, I understand what the other user says, there are moments that are forces into the story and have nothing to do with the movie, and totally take you out, like in that x men movie where Jennifer Lawrence says they sould be call x-woman because the woman have saved the men so many times. That dint have to do with nothing, no in the movie, in the franchise or even in the conversation they were having.
if the force gay remarks just for the sake of it is nothing but a cheap trick to get attention and that can ruined a movie or a book or wathever any element in a movie must be justified, unless is female nudity in that case is always ok and welcome and dont need any jusitification
I WISH I HAD INTERNET ACCESS WHEN I WAS 12...OF COURSE IF I DID...I WOULD BE BRAINDEAD LIKE YOURSELF.🙄
shareThat's really pathetic. A movie didn't specifically cater to you for about 5 seconds. Talk about narcissistic!
shareWhat's pathetic is that you want gay shit in your movies.
shareI really couldn't care less whether the movie includes an LGBTQ+ character or not, but I do think it's pathetic that you are whining about 5 seconds.
shareI'm definitely tired of the leftist virtue signaling and seeming need to cram something gay into every film and show. I won't deny it.
shareStill pathetic.
shareWhat do you moron bigots think the damage will be if you just admit you're a fucking bigot?
I mean, you're already whining because of how butthurt you are over a completely anodyne moment because you can't handle any moment of an LGBTQ person existing. Anyone with any sense can see it's because you are a homophobic dirtbag.
But you're too much of a bitch to admit it. "virtue signaling" "Hollywood agenda" "Woke woke woke"...blah blah blah.
You're little bigot. We all know it. Just own it and stop being a little bitch about it.
It's not surprising to me that we've arrived the place in the western world where speaking the truth is labeled "bigotry."
The fact is that homosexual behavior is frankly unnatural and sinful. We as humans have the desire to do all sorts of things that are wrong to do; just because a person has certain urges doesn't make those urges proper.
God created human sexuality and he intended for it to be practiced in a certain way. To normalize and even encourage the acceptance of homosexual behavior is evidence of a society in decline.
If you consider that to be bigoted, then you think that God's design is bigoted, and I guess that God also is a bigot.
PrimeMinisterX sorry, but you're completely wrong on the whole homosexuality "being unnatural and a sin" thing (and no I'm not woke, look at my username lol), the Bible doesn't actually support that view at all. Read through this website and learn the truth: https://www.gaychristian101.com
FYI, I do agree with you that the woke pandering in movies needs to stop, it's not helping anybody and is killing cinema.
IF BY WOKE PANDERING YOU MEAN THE INCLUSION OF NON WHITES,GAYS AND WOMEN...WELL...YOU WILL BE WAITING UNTIL THE GRAVE FOR IT TO END...PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE AND ALL PEOPLE CAN AND WILL BE IN ART IF THEY CHOOSE.
share>I really couldn't care less whether the movie includes an LGBTQ+LMNOPXYZ%$#&^*%
LOL you spelled "gay" wrong.
A movie didn't specifically cater to you for about 5 seconds...
People get "taken out of the movie" all the time. Very rarely does one sit and watch an entire movie and not have a few seconds here or there where they less focused on the movie and more aware of their surroundings. That's just human nature.
What is "pathetic" is complaining about a few seconds of dialogue and then getting all "poopy pants" about it calling it a "never ending obsession."
Sounds more like the person complaining has a "never ending obsession."
Yeah but what you have said here is just deflection rather than arguing the point.
The person made a very specific point about an element of dialogue taking them out of the movie. You've started talking about other external things taking them out of the movie and talking about "obsessions" rather than discussing what is a fair comment to make in what is after all a movie discussion site.
As I said, you could replace that dialogue with "I love the pussy!", "Next election day I'll be voting for..." or "I love the NY Yankees!" and they'd all be equally incongruous. That's the being "taken out of the movie" experience that was being discussed.
Now, you can have a look at some of my other posts and see that I am very much pro social justice and ensuring equal rights in films, etc but that doesn't mean I cannot recognise the folly of such an irrelevant, deflective argument.
I guess you missed the part where he/she said,
What is with Hollywood's neverending obsession with gay people?share
No, I didn't. But then that's not what I was discussing is it?
Which is why I specifically quoted your misplaced, irrelevant response to the point about being taken out of the movie.
As I said previously, I'm very much pro rights but that still doesn't mean you can throw logic out the window when discussing a fair point. That makes you just as bigoted.
I'm starting to question my sanity in even responding to you, but I'll give it another go.
The poster said two things:
1. The comment took him out of the movie.
2. Hollywood is obsessed with gay people.
I drew the most logical conclusion from those two comments, which was that having anything in a movie related to a person being gay (even if for just a few seconds) was ruining the movie for this person.
If a movie contains 2 lines of dialogue about a subject that a person doesn't care for, that's annoying, and I think we've all been there. But to say that Hollywood is obsessed with the subject matter is really just said person having their own personal agenda.
I'd rather not use your crude example, so I'll use my own. I am die hard Chicago Cubs fan, and their biggest rival is the St. Louis Cardinals. If I watched a movie where someone yelled "Go Cards!" I would probably make a face. But I wouldn't cry and complain that Hollywood has a Cardinal obsession and ruined the movie for me.
It's a pretty big stretch for you to call me a bigot. It does make me question your agenda.
It's a pretty big stretch for you to call me a bigot.
You're kidding, right? You are literally attacking me because you read my statement differently than the way I intended it.
I don't think the poster was really upset that a few seconds of dialogue "took him/her out of the movie." He/she was was just using it to complain about Hollywood's "gay agenda."
That's it. That's what I was trying to say.
this will still make no odds to you
The only defense you've made thus far was that people get taken out of movies all the time by their surroundings.
But that's a ridiculous counter to a complaint about the internal dialogue in a film. By that token, you'd be able to respond to someone saying something like "The lighting was really bad in that scene. It was way too bright on their faces. That really took me me out of it and spoiled the film" by saying "Yeah but the guy in front of you had a squeaky chair, so I don't get your complaint...".
Nah! He was really worried about how his family would respond. When they all said, “We know,” it was a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. It was sweet.
shareSounds horrible.
shareYes, it does sound horrible ... families who love and support each other ... what a nightmare!
shareThe horror!
shareThe world is about to be destroyed and your most important thought is that your family wont like your sexuality? I agree, the person is horrible.
shareNope. Completely rational fear. Some families would ostracize their kids. Would you?
shareCompletely rational fear under normal circumstances. Not so much when for all you know the world will be destroyed in an hour. And no, i wouldnt.
shareGood for you for saying you wouldn't ostracize your kid!
I think if you sincerely fear the world is about it end or simply that you are about to die, it's completely normal to want to make sure things are right between you and your loved ones.
And you make sure they are right by doing what you think is the most dangerous thing to that relationship?
shareI have no idea what you just said.
shareIf the world is ending you will do the most risky thing to the relationship you can think of (according to you) to make things right. That is what you are claiming. It makes no sense.
shareI wouldn't say "it makes no sense." It's really a death-bed confession. You fear you might die, so you want to get everything off your chest. It's incredibly common in story telling and in Hollywood. Whatever the circumstances, one or more characters think they are about to die, so they want to make sure the other characters know certain things.
I've been watching the first season of The Expanse, so a couple of scenes came to mind:
1.At the end of the first episode when the Canterbury is about to be hit by missiles and explode, Ade's last words were, "Jim, there's something you should know ... " and then the ship explodes.
2.When the crew is being held on the Donnager, Naomi and Amos know they might run out of air. That's when they both start talking about regrets.
Whether you think you might actually do that or not, that's usually what's done in Hollywood.
More woke bullshit, I don’t understand why every movie has to be gay when like 3 percent of the population is. Based on movies now you think half the population is gay
shareHOW MANY CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE?....HOW MANY WERE GAY?
shareSo far 1 out of 6, but we all know that more will become gay or transgender in the next one
shareSo far 1 out of 6, but we all know that more will become gay or transgender in the next one
That’s what brainwashing does to people
shareNah, you can't brainwash a straight guy to suck dick.
Let me help you understand what's happened. In my age group, maybe 4% say they're gay or bisexual. That's because the stigma was so great when we were kids, we wouldn't even admit it to ourselves. I identified as straight when I was teenager, but I was still fucking guys. If anybody asked me back then I'd say I was heterosexual.
Now the youngsters know it's okay, so they're not afraid to be honest.
Dude, when I was a teenager I knew that we were more than 4%. The numbers for my age group are still under reported. The younger folks aren't trying to hide anything.
Of course you can, when you start brainwashing from kindergarden.
Then again, a quarter of men are raising children that are not their own, so maybe theres no problem with you self-selecting out of the gene pool.
Are we taking bets how long until its 100%?
shareIf that were true I suppose half the characters in Shazam! Fury of the Gods must be gay. Are half the characters in Shazam! Fury of the Gods gay?
Or are you being a drama queen?
Just pandering. In the woke minds of Hollywood executives a gay character gets the full attention of the gay community. So at least *they* will watch the movie. All of them...
share"And? Big whoop? They made that line as if it was the most important thing in the world"
Did we watch the same scene, because I saw him announce he was gay and nobody in the room gave a shit! They all said they already knew and moved right along, yet somehow this scene really go to you.
I feel sorry for the fat Latino kid.
He was probably happy to have made it and become the cool kid for once, only to play the gay kid.
He'll probably get bullied for it instead.
Unfortunately, for some people life is so easy that their sexual identity is the most important thing about them.
