You Brute! You Brute! You Brute!
Sounds like the gay people I have met in real life - isolated jokes with no real personality.
These people (apparently) are getting insufficient amounts of positive media exposure. Who knew?
It will be the final self take down of Hollywood if they submit to this. For that reason, I hope they do.
They are complaining that blacks (pardon, people of color) make up only 21% of the film characters. Well, they make up only about 13% of the populace so at 21% of the film universe they are over-represented. Gays make up about a fraction of one percent of the overall populace, so if they appear in film at all they are over-represented.
Having written and published several novels I can tell you how difficult it is to have a fully-fleshed character unless that character is the main one. All supporting characters have so little story time that they, of necessity, must be caricatures. To give them more story time simply because they are gay distorts and damages the story you are trying to tell. Unless your story is something like “Priciolla, queen of the desert,” you simply don’t have the story time to throw in a fully formed gay character.
There is another complaint that they are used to set up a joke. Well, if they act like normal people, how do you know they are supposed to be gay? Say you have a serious police detective with a serious murder to solve. The story concentrates on the murder, not a subplot about how he has the hots for his partner and the trouble that brews. Unless the author can work in a subplot that blends and resolves with the main plot it will seem a polemic and people will tune out.
This article is a ridiculous whine.
Considering that the entire GLBT community makes up less than 4% of the U.S. population, they are hugely overrepresented in movies and TV, but the news media will never mention it.
There is no evidence that “diversity” has ever had a positive contribution to America.,P>
If diversity was good, then the government wouldn’t have to force it upon people.
Here’s an idea, add them to the movies, then kill them off. Most movies have a lot of cannon fodder, which is as substantive as any other role. Aside from that, let them pound sand, I want my normal movie about normal people to be by normal people. I and my family will not be watching a moving about homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgenders.
.... Other than that .... in real life you would not know which people were gay, lesbian, or transexuals unless they were really flamboyant stereotypes.
..... So .... I guess the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender community in Hollywood is demanding that their be more Stereotypical characters in shows ... which in the past has been totally frowned upon because in the world of PC it is a cardinal sin to portray steroetypes!
...but many were included only to be the butt of a joke and an overwhelming majority of them were white or male....
Political correctness says the they should be labeled “ the object “ of ajoke
Sure, great idea. Spend gazillions of dollars featuring broken, demented individuals, have absolutely nobody watch them except for the less than 2% of deviants that want to, then go broke.
Winning formula for me!
This just isn’t true; every bad guy that got killed in Deadpool? Gay.
( Let’s count them, shall we?)
You Brute! You Brute! You Brute!
I don’t patronize or watch films that have sodomite characters. PERIOD.
I find their lifestyles to be repulsive, and resent the health risks they pose to the rest of us. I don’t, nor am I interested in understanding how one guy looks at another guys hairy arse, and says “I got to have that”...
Have there been any major homosexual themed movies since Brokeback Mountain?
Let’s talk under-represented. Conservative Jews like me.
When will this sh*t stop? Never.
People want to see movies that tell a good story. Not social engineering manifestos.
I just turn the channel when any show has the deviates on. Not worth my time. I do the same with show’s that have the lead character as a tiny woman that is tougher than all the male characters. Kinda tired of hollywood pushing the agenda that fags and chicks are more capable than the bumbling white man.
