Wizard of Oz Remake Director Says New Film Will Include LGBTQ Representation


So another woke fest that will flop.

reply

It is already LGBTQ.

The Lion is gay.
Tin Man is non binary.
Miss Gulch is a drag queen.
The WWW is lesbian obsessedly chasing Dorothy.

reply

Ha! Like the original Wizard of Oz wasn’t the gayest thing ever, right?

Ever wonder where the term “friend of Dorothy” comes from?

But please, continue to signpost your ignorance and throw terms like faggot around to show us all what a big butch masculine Neanderthal you are. It’s cute and funny.

With the thoughts bjensen4 would be thinking, he could be another Lincoln if he only had a brain.

😆

Sadly his head’s all full of stuffin’ and his heart is full of pain 😢

reply

LMAO!

There are many good lessons to be learned from The Wizard of Oz.

reply

Never heard the term "Friend of Dorothy" before but since you know obviously you're showing your faggotry to the board.

reply

Wow a totally brain dead ignoramus hasn’t heard of a hundred year old euphemism.

There’s a shock.

reply


I never heard of it either. I think only those who live the life of faggotry must know it.

reply

Using "faggotry" as a placeholder for "bigotry" is actually kind of clever, so you're likely a turd burglar.

reply


I have never burgled a turd in my life that I can recall.


reply

There is nothing in the book or the movie to indicate that the Lion, the Tin Man, or the Scarecrow are gay, non binary, etc. The fact that many gay men are obsessed with Dorothy does not make it a gay movie. These ideas have been imposed on it from the outside. They do not come from within it.

reply

You are a hateful homophobe and an ignorant fool. That is all I will say to you.

reply

Wokest answer on the board...

reply


How did you get "hateful homophobe" and "ignorant fool" from liscarkat's answer - which had nothing but fact in it?

Look, if you like to imagine Oz is a gay movie, then by all means watch it, enjoy it, sing and dance along to the songs, and rub one out to the tin man if it makes you happy, but don't expect the rest of us see this for what it isn't.

reply

See there you go with the homophobia. Screw you. I don’t give a f—k whether or not it has anything “gay,” what I take issue with is this tone of “How DARE you slander this classic movie attaching the “gay” label to it!” And now you’re making fun of me revealing your homophobia. Screw you. Again, an ignorant fool. Fact.

You are correct, and to be honest I'm a bit ashamed of what I posted. Please, please, please don't do anything rash based on my poorly chosen response.

Somewhat off topic but not completely - do you think the Tin Man used something like axle grease for anal lubrication or maybe something more natural like pork tallow???


reply

Idk I woke up better now but feel awkward I don’t much care about the Tin Man tbh gotta go for a bit.

reply


Put on some Liza Minnelli and just chill. You'll feet better in no time.

reply

Still at it, huh? You Nazi hick dipshit.

reply

I believe in karma. You’ll get what’s coming to you. Your evil hatred and abusive bullying will come back to bite you in the ass, the universe will see to that.

reply


The suggestion to chill to dear Liza was genuine..

reply

There is nothing in the story to suggest they are straight either, since there are no romance elements at all. People can relate to I think it’s fine if people find something relateable to them even if it isn’t intended. But it obviously that isn’t good enough any more. It has to be forced everywhere.

reply

How long before they reboot Deliverance with LGBTQ representation?

reply

ThetaSigma and Mrmojo have dibs on butt fucking each other in place of Ned Beatty in the woods.

reply

Mojo isn’t gay but if you want to squeal like a little piggy just call me, sweetheart 📞😘

reply

Deliverance would be seen as a hate crime today. The rapist would be a sympathetic hero, and the cis white males would be villains.

Also Banjo kid would be deemed offensive

reply

Just like everything else Hollyweird has been crapping out since 2016.

reply

Well, y’see, I’m not queer, so I’m not up on queer slang, Miss Mae.

And I’m the happier because of it.

reply

Pre-woke Hollywood: Where the men were men, the stories were good, there were no queers, and the women were glad of it.

reply

So you know, you are 1 of the few posters I respect, Amerigirl.

I wanted to say that in front of God and everybody.

reply

Thanks :D
