So many homophobes here

So what it if there's a same sex kiss in this movie?


The majority of people have no issues with same sex couples. But clearly Disney/Pixar make a conscious effort to push their agenda on certain themes and social issues front and center. As if people look to Disney for how to think and live their lives, rather than simply to find escape in fantastic other-worldly stories.

The issue is when it's forced into the story as a priority. It's not subtle, and it's getting worse. Kids fiction writers and movie studios shouldn't be in the business of injecting political activist content in movies. It comes across as creepy and has a propaganda vibe. Unsurprisingly, people are getting tired of this shit.

It's not healthy for the integrity of art when such issues are awkwardly forced on viewers, pretending to be effortlessly blended with the story. "Nothing to see here"!

It's like when activists and social justice tantrum throwers, infiltrate HR departments in companies, guilt-tripping DEI mandates because "too many white people" is a problem according to their ideology. They open a door to a room, and if they see 5 people all white, they see a problem that needs "fixing".

DEI in principle sounds fine until you notice they often put down one group in order to elevate another.

NOBODY cares about a same sex kiss. People care about the forced agenda of shoving it in front of viewers not for the sake of the story, but to appease the "DEI Consultants" the studio hires in turn to appease a certain political view in some sections of audiences and media.

Dude... are you literally just complaining about a 7 second kiss scene?

reply

No, I'm complaining about Disney's inclusion standards contaminating the creative process. [1]

Do you have any sensible questions?

I am specifically referring to your outrage over Lightyear.

I don't give a fuck about Disney.

So your answer is "no, I don't have a sensible question".

What outrage? My post is clear and concise.

Your strawman response is weak. You seem as dumb as a post, so I probably should explain what strawman means. A strawman is when you attempt to refute an argument never made. In this case you claim I am "outraged" about a kiss scene when I specifically said "nobody cares about a kiss scene".

The wider issue of DEI policies influencing everything from characters in stories to how many white pilots can be hired in aviation, is the problem. The censorship of reviews on IMDB that mention DEI policies in movies, is another problem. Capeesh?

So what else are the problems with Lightyear exactly then? Apparently all that happened in Lightyear, in terms of LGBT stuff is a same-sex kiss.

IMDB is a private website.

Disney may have their own stupid policies about how the composition of their movies may be. They are a private company.

In the first 3 minutes the straight white male lead (Buzz) is portrayed as foolish, pretentious and ashamed of himself in front of the practical, wise, superior LGBT officer. This theme continues throughout the movie.

If you ever watched the original Toy Story, Buzz is 100% confident. He would never feel foolish about recording a mission log, for example.

So the whole premise of Lightyear misrepresents the Buzz character from before Toy Story, for the sake of Disney's DEI agenda.

Here's a youtube link that covers most of the problems:

Don't waste you time with this one.
One track mind, ignoring the truth of the big picture, just another sad social justice warrior. And not even hiding it.

Hey SJW, leave justice to REAL JUSTICE when it is needed. SJ is shit.
