Thank you. Well said.

Your claim that Disney does not represent LGBTQ+ individuals is an over-simplistic argument smothered with fallacies. For example, Gery’s Anatomy is a medical drama that has been airing for the past 15 years on ABC (ABC is a subsidiary of Disney). Grey’s Anatomy tells the stories of doctors who are at the forefront of…

Have you ever actually met a gay person? 

The whole point of science fiction is that it takes place in a world that does not exist, a galaxy far away, in Star Wars’ case. It is under no obligation to provide “stories that properly reflect the world and society we live in”. Its obligation is almost the polar opposite, given the genre it inhabits.

[This sounds like the kind of thing that happens when an undergrad learns a new way to make a critique then starts applying it to everything.]

Not at all. Just tired of small groups of people complaining about representation. If you are happy with what you are, why the need for being represented in something as insignificant as a movie like Star Wars? These people just need to simply grow up and move on with their life.

What is wrong with NOT GAY now? Now that is a crime? Rediculous. Why does Star  Wars have to have any representation of LGBTQ+ at all? It’s fun science fiction to enjoy and escape for awhile. Every movie has to represent every minority now or people’s feelings are hurt? You can choose whatever you want to be and be…

Instead of whining about what you wished was represented more in a mainstream movie why not just go watch gay/bi/whatever movies and shows? I’m sure there’s plenty out there. And if you’re that dead set on wishing characters in Star Wars are gay then just pretend that they are and move on. Who the fuck cares if two…

That’s what makes cap the kinda guy who can hold mjolnir.

The story might be Elon Musk-adjacent, and presumably if he fathers a child at this late stage in his fame, fortune, and nuttiness, he’ll do some kind of weird tech thing to it. He might put a cybernetic datajack in its skull right after birth, raise it in a pressurized vault to give it super strength, or put it on a…

Oh for heavensake, I’m sure everyone at Disney and Lucasfilm is deeply sorry that the movie they made was not the one you wanted them to make. I’m gay and progressive but honestly this sort of whiney bloviation is just annoying. Want more homonormative films? Walk away from your keyboard and go make some. Otherwise,…

On the most basic level, it’s hard to disagree with what you are aiming to achieve and with what you want to see. Fair representation in our shared stories...

“precious on-screen time was instead used to interweave Poe taking over the Resistance with trying to hook up with a female figure from his past”

I don’t understand this fixation on diversity and inclusion somehow being more important than story and character building. Watching Marriage Story the other night and Laura Derns character was obviously representative of the woke/feminist movement but in the movie it made sense and added to her character. It felt…

There’s likely no way to ask this serious question without people thinking I’m shitty for daring to, but whatever it’s the internet so here we go: Do you really believe it was the right call for the filmmakers to bow to a vocal minority in the fandom and take a character that was not written as queer and turn them…

I was coming on here to post something similar. The support group was a poignant moment, made even more so by the fact that it was played by Joe Russo.  

I’m just here for the heteronormativity.

I feel like all three films in this trilogy stayed away from romance of any kind.  

I would 100% disagree that this is better than Avengers. A throw-away kiss between meaningless characters Is NOT better than a character developing moment (even with a new character) where two men dating in the aftermath of the snap Is dealt with matter-of-factly and with compassion by Captain America, a conservative…

Is it really though? Is it really bland heteronomativity that holds rise of skywalker back? Would Rise of Skywalker have been just amazing (not held back) were it only not for bland heteronormativity?
