homophobes and good ole MC posters sure did not disappoint.
Some days I hope one day we will progress to a society that more easily sees the larger picture of life, but then again, examples like this show otherwise.
This episode played it too safe. It wasn't progressive enough.
Gays is old news now,
Trans issues should take front and center.
Nah it is more of the ADHD generation of kids who just wanna see Zombies getting shot each episode for 60 mins because their minds are switched onto marvel mode of 3rd actitus of brain dead action and can't handle good writing and using their brain for understanding
shareI don’t know about Zombies, but I do wanna see Shroom-Noggins getting shot each episode for 60 mins.

People tune in to watch Joel and Ellie, not an entire subplot barely relating to the plot. 1+ hours of their backstory was a bit much given the end goal was to get their truck. Make this into a hetero dynamic and I'm sure people wouldn't have a problem calling this episode out for the nothin burger it was.
shareThe thing is it really came out of nowhere. Usually, you could hint at where things are going. It took me out because I could picture all the alt-right boys fuming, lol
shareyou are being very narrow minded and judgemental yourself , straight people not wanting to watch gay people in action means they are necessarily homophobes?? How about their own liberty and choice of not wanting to watch gay stuff? I am not homophobe at all however I don't want to see gay love all the time in movies and shows.
shareIf you can't distinguish between the homophobic threads here and the ones that are not, it is you that are narrow minded and one episode is not "all the time."
I suggest you move to Florida. On top of that, you clearly missed the point of this episode and if this mild episode rankled your sensitive heterosexuality, then I suggest you reexamine your claim of not being phobic when it comes to gays.
How about someone who fully supports gay people in doing whatever the hell they want, getting married, bla bla bla, but just doesn't want to see two hairy dudes sucking each other's dicks?
Is that person a homophobe? Is your solution to their homophobia to force them to watch something they don't want to watch (in a wider scope than just this episode)?
Um, where was what you described even depicted? It was implied, yes, but not graphically shown.
And if someone is so disturbed at a mild depiction of two people of the same sex in a loving relationship then TURN THE CHANNEL. How difficult is that rather than throwing around slurs and hyperbole of something that wasn't even shown?
Wow. Exactly that reply is why I included the "in a wider scope than just this episode" part.
Could you confirm that "If you don't like, it don't watch it" is essentially the reply you are going with?
I think the issue is that people are missing the distinction between what a "homophobe" is and the difference between that and a person who just prefers some other sort of depiction in their choices.
In hindsight, I should have made it more clear that I was pointing out that the "homophobes" were going to have a field day with this episode.
Still, if someone is offended by this mild portrayal of homosexuality and screams about it, I would suggest he or she does have some aspect of homophobia.
Define progress. It's subjective as those progressives don't believe in God. So they become their own gods and progress becomes meaningless.
shareHere's an example of your larger picture of life now that gay has gone mainstream. yeah, keep in mind there's kids present:
