You never hear the phrase “forced straight scene”. Straight people don’t need a plot reason to be onscreen, and yet in your worldview gay people have to justify their existence each and every time. And no, it’s not “everywhere”, it just maybe feels like that if you’re a bigot.

You seem to have just about enough self-awareness to realize that you were being called out, but not quite enough not to just double down on it. The limits of your tolerance seem to be that you’ll allow LGBTQ representation but only if it’s put in a clearly marked corner where you don’t have to look at it.

You really need to spend more time thinking about just why you feel so triggered.

Oh, you do. Not using those same words, but people have been complaining about random sex scenes since forever.

They do - if I have to know whether they're into noodles or lasagnas, there better be a good reason for that.

Wtf? Is projecting homophobia onto people your hobby or something? Fuck your strawman. If fallacies is your way to communicate, this is my last message to you.


I feel so triggered, because every time someone even offers the opinion of "do we really need so much unnecessary gay scenes in everything," people like you come and go "akchually you're just a bigot because you don't like bad cinematic devices that are just virtue signalling."

Anyway, changed my mind, this is my last message to you anyway, no need to have people like you in my life.

Gay scenes, or gay sex scenes?

Merely kissing doesn't count, because straight people kissing doesn't trigger nearly the same response as gay people kissing, exposing clear bigotry on the part of the complainants.
