To not understand why there is so much backlash against kids movies with gay characters these days?

[PennyRa]

It's all over the place these days, people "outraged", but 10 years ago there were kids movies with gay characters and you'd hear barely a peep.

Watched Happy Feet over Christmas and I'd forgotten the whole B plot was two gay shrimp having a domestic because it wasn't a big deal. Saw Strange World too but all I kept hearing about it was from homophobes throwing tantrums it seems like.

Indoctrinated how? How is having gay characters indoctrination?

I would much rather they wrote new characters than change existing characters as often it changes to entire dynamic of the character.

So it isn't "indoctrination" that's the reason, it's ignorance and fear.

And no, you don't catch gay from watching two people of the same sex kiss on TV. Does seeing two women kiss on TV make you want to kiss women? Does it work if it's two men? Do women only turn gay if they see women kiss and men only turn gay of they see men kiss? Who let's gay penguins watch TV??

Would you be OK with families banning their kids watch anything with non-White people in it because they're racists and worry their kids might catch liking non-, white people?

Honestly, I don't care. I was just answering OPs Qs not sharing my own views.

Go argue with someone else

I take it OP you the nl things like the new Scoobie doo series "Velma" is good then 🙄.

Sorry but creators need to actually create new content rather than woke butchering of all the old stuff.

Course they do. Heartstopper. Merli. Big boys. Although that's a bit rude lol. Waterloo Road, Hollyoaks.

Haven't seen velma, but are you saying it has gay characters and therefore it's bad?

You were trying to justify honophobia.

Though remakes have their place (and are an old tradition long predating the advent of what some like to pejoratively call 'woke') I do prefer original content, preferably where the sexuality of the characters just is. It shouldn't be an issue. It's why I like The Orville so much. Fortunately we're starting to get there now.

Meanwhile I do also enjoy watching conservatives combust when gay people are depicted.

How about the arch it and come back too me. 🙄

How about watch it and come back to me 🙄

@AnorLondo here sav d you the trouble. This is what's wrong with most of them now days.

Your free to disagree just like I am with you. That's called democracy.

Weirdly, some young queer theorist types were exactly the same about Dumbledore being gay, in a “how can he possibly be gay if we don’t know all the details of his sex life, she must be making it up!” kind of way.

I have no interest in watching Velma or a YouTube video from some MRA.

Well next to me don't reply too me then on a forum, you know a place where people discuss things 🤣

Interesting that you haven't watched either video yet feel able to comment on them

I watched the video. Not sure what it has to do with the OP though.

Presumably because it was a critique of what was wrong with Velma which is an adult remake of a children's TV show with gay characters as per the OP.

Yes they key word being adult remake. Not aimed at kids. And I've heard it's not very good, but is that because it features gay characters?

Velma has always been something of a gay icon.
But IMO Velma is not bad because it has gay people in it but because it isbadly written

Sorry what? That doesn't make sense.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a gay character. It’s normal

Kids are forced to see straight people kiss on tv. What’s wrong with them seeing gay people?

Its just another choice when they are older

Interesting way to obfuscate your own opinions. Spout homophobic views and then when it's challenged say "ooh not I don't share my own opinion, only conjectured opinions of underrepresented groups (like homiphobics)

Sure

So what is your opinion?
