If anything the confusing thing is when gay kids grow up and start to realize their sexuality but if they don't see it in the media or on TV or anything they're going to think they're alone or that there's something wrong with them

@The Lemon The issue I have, in terms of groups being represented, is when they are put into a plot just for the sake of being represented. If a show has a gay, or black, or whatever main character and the show is genuinely good, then sure, that's great. What many cannot stand are two dimensional characters who are nothing but x "marginalized" group who don't expand beyond that

Take Stargate as a good example of how to do a strong lead right. This show was largely filmed in the late 90s, for reference. Samantha Carter was one of the four original members of SG-1, and some people at first did question her "for being a women." However she proved that she was incredibly smart and was one of my favorite characters on the show, she was crucial to the series. She was more than just "the woman" on the team

No I absolutely agree we shouldn't just put characters in for that reason but you should attempt to integrate some gay characters into your plot line without them being 2 dimensional characters

If you can make it fit, then sure. If, for whatever reason, the character's sexuality needs to be brought up, then more power to you. But I cannot stand things that seem forced in

Yup

And tbh it wasn't forced in in Arthur

The teacher got married turns out he was gay

Arthur did a very good job of it imo

It's not like they made a huge deal of it

Didn't make a big deal out of it, just another episode

Exactly

Another one I think is done well is tracer and soldier in overwatch

That's how it should be done. It occurs,, it's addressed, life moves on.

A lot of people criticised it but I thought it was good

Because for both of them it was never explicitly stated they were gay

It was never made a big deal of

Just with tracer you saw her with her partner in the Christmas themed comic

And for soldier he was looking through old photos with Ana again in a comic and there happened to be one with his partner

Yea, like I said, if it's done with a certain style then it's great, but you should never judge a film or show on it's "diversity"

Oh yeah absolutely

Remember that ghost busters reboot? Prime example

Nope

Never really was very invested in the original lol

The acting was meh, atmosphere of the film was meh, it wasn't terrible, but it received raving reviews because the main cast was all female

And just kinda heard, all female reboot meninists are triggered and it's probably not a good movie and just didn't care

Also really who gives a shit about reviews anymore

BTW if you're ever looking for a good movie, I recommend The Way Back. Amazing film, I read the book in middle school as well. Great all around

But anyway, back on topic

I'm happy we can at least agree that racial quotas / forced diversity is trash. People are not as shallow as hollywood makes us out to be, we can identify with characters that are not the same gender/race/sexuality as us

@Mintea no no its fine it wasn’t harsh at all i get your point we can continue in dms if you want cuz finding this server is really hard and all the spam in other ones so yeah is a bit difficult we can continue our convo in dms if not then its fine i get your point that is all normal if a kid sees a boy and a girl kissing and not a homo couple kissing cuz its not what they are used to see it can cause confusion in their not so well developed brain

we can kiss if you want

@Krausser

There are only two genders change my mind
