Why do people think that showing love in shows means that people are pushing an agenda?
Is it because they're too overrepresented or are people just homophobic?
>>
the vast majority of straight people are homophobic scum. Even if they think they arent, they usually still hold tons of subconscious homophobic beliefs
>>
>>42269930
It's not their fault then
>>
what are these straights reacting to?
>>
>>42269991
A video saying "are there even straight couples in shows anymore?"
>>
>>42269998
Straight couples are plentiful in media. They are so normalized that they don't stand out and grab attention.
>>
Cis people are so weird, they go apeshit over the most petty shit but they praise degeneracy, for instance, they see Titanic as one of the most romantic movies ever and it's about how a woman cheated on her fiance.
>>
>>42269998
They want to bitch and whine because they are bored. You made this thread for the same reason velty. People are all the same dumb monkeys reacting to dumb monkeys throwing shit at each other on a big dumb space rock
>>
>>42270021
I don't think that's a cishet-only thing, one of the most famous gay movies is about two dudes cheating on their married wives
>>42270026
No I don't think so, they're genuinely mad and disgusted at lgbt stuff
>>
>>42269913
there are shows with straight relationships, yall don't watch 'em
i feel like im the only one who saw abba loves costello
>>
>>42270217
I think it's because it's apparently forced on every show now
>>
>>42270053
Sure, but the point is that they don't see anything wrong with that.
>>
>>42270254
So do the brokeback mountain fans, most of them

I think two guys kissing is one of the hottest things ever. The world very much disagrees with that notion, but to answer your question

>Why do people think that showing love in shows means that people are pushing an agenda? Is it because they're too overrepresented or are people just homophobic?

Historical factors often controlled by religion has brought a stigma toward non-conforming sexualities especially the more prominent ones like homosexuality in society. Gay people don't eww straight people kissing so it's simply a fact of the majority sets the rules for what's tolerable.

With regards to the actual "showing love in shows" this is cause:

1. Compared to the "old movie classics" like we all even watch today, homosexual inclusion is quite drastic from the formula so it sticks out

2. The far right and generally right leaning sides of politics have been pushing culture war "issues" to distract the masses away from their declining health of living and direct their anger at things such as supposed wokeness in media. Anything to rile up the masses
>>
>>42270370
>Gay people don't eww straight people kissing
But it does work the other way, makes naturally have a bad reaction to gay stuff
You're probably right about wokeness though, they just want something to complain about
>>
>>42269913
What's most people, cishets and LGBT ppl included, can't seem to wrap their head around is that two things can be true at once. LGBT and minorities should be able to be depicted in media without it being a problem, but at the same time you're delusional if you can't see that hyperwoke ppl have also been shoving minorities and LGBT ppl into media in recent times to the point where it's obvious it's intentionally done to virtue signal or pander or whatever their reasoning is. Pieces of media with minorities and/or LGBT ppl have been popular and well received in the past. There's def bigoted ppl that foam at the mouth whenever they see a black person or a gay couple on screen, but it's abundantly clear that most ppl aren't like that and what bothers ppl is not minority/LGBT ppl characters existing, but a disproportionate amount of poorly written minority/LGBT characters being shoved into media to virtue signal and push political agendas. It's to the point where even the minorities and LGBT ppl being oandered to are sick of it. It's just a modern version of token characters. Many of these characters are written terribly and their entire story boils down to extremely generic plots about bigotry that we've seen a million times by now. The sassy quips about white ppl or men or whatever that these characters (or other characters) often deliver just make this worse. Idgaf about a character's demographics and I doubt the majority of ppl do either. I care if a character is written well. If they were written well, I doubt so many ppl would be complaining about this.

I honestly don't understand what you are trying to do here

>But it does work the other way, makes naturally have a bad reaction to gay stuff
Naturally, sure you could say so as being straight is the norm and therefore the "natural way" in that sense, but there is no natural dislike of gays

Create a society where being gay is the norm then gay people would eww straight people, but straight people wouldn't eww gays
>>
>>42270420
Yeah exactly
Its mostly conservatives complaining when there's anything gay, but I'm sure more people do when it's so forced everywhere
>>42270428
Both lgbts and cishets like movies where people cheat
>>
>>42270439
Eh idk
I've seen people say it's a normal male reaction to not like gay people kissing
>>
>>42270445

>>42270420
Im just so sick of this shit being a thing these days. I fucking hate how the intentional butchering of culture and media with the most inane culture war issues has caused society to regress in some ways when it comes to acceptance and harmony between different demographics. Everyone fucking hates each other and it doesn't have to be like this. All this shit just fuels a neverending back and forth reactionary shitfest. It's just so upsetting to see. The social progresses humanity has achieved should have allowed us to better understand and care for eachother, but all that's happened was it being twisted by propagandists to fuel the flames. Ppl have died fighting for ppl's rights and its so heartbreaking that decades later, we've all been caught up in new traps made to bring discord between us all. I'm ngl it honestly makes me wanna cry when I think think about it too hard.
>>
>>42269913
why are you always posting about politics or religion. this is tiring. not to be offensive or anything, i dont mean this in a demeaning way. but doesnt this tire you out?
>>
>>42270483
I've only posted about religion once yesterday and maybe one or two other times
The only political stuff I post is about "wokeness" too
And I don't do that often either
>>
>>42270453
Imagine a younger kid seeing it.
Do you think it'd get some primal disgust reaction or not care at all?

I think it's pretty apparent these attitudes are pushed on us societally than instincts of human behavior. Straight guys are often heavily pushed into dismissing all accusations of being gay rather than calmly deny it or even indulge the idea somewhat. THAT, that I think seems more "unnatural" to me
>>
>>42270565
Kids are homophobic
They use gay as an insult too, and dislike gay things for the sake of it being gay
>>
>>42270478
>people hate each other for gender/sex stuff
Retards would find another excuse to vent their frustrations if that wasn't the case, the problem here is that most people are spiritually disconnected and can't find happiness on anything. This is just something easy to get mad at, the differences are clear and many share similar ideologies so for them it is the perfect excuse.
>>
>>42270639
I was thinking of younger children where such prejudice wouldn't have manifested yet. Like 3-6

Kids will usually just pick up some negative quotation from their dad or mom then simply forward it without much thought
>>
>>42269930
>homophobic scum.
lol. like they're supposed to treat the mass of hedonistic perverts that vote against them with respect. get real you retard, every time you have your freak parade to shake your ass in front of children in a puppy mask, or make another man-made horror beyond comprehension by transitioning a child another normie has another reason to pick up a brick.
Be worth something, then you can complain about not getting respect.
>>
>>42270846
???
Most gay people aren't like that
>>
>>42270660
Yes, but the divisons between people are intentionally made worse by the propaganda we're lambasted with 24/7. Bigotry would still exist without it, but it would be less pervasive. It's not just a subsection of society that is reactionary now. Everyone is becoming reactionary bc we're all constantly drowning in a curated selection of propaganda made by marketing teams and intelligence agencies, specifically designed to appeal to each individual and served up to us by algorithms.
>>
>>42269930
The drive by /pol/poster who replied to you is obviously homophobic, but you can't seriously expect to say shit like this and not get replies like that, anon. I get that everyone needs to vent sometimes and sometimes we exaggerate when we do so, but harsh generalizations like this are poisonous to the mind and do nothing but attract more negative attention to us. I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I urge you to have more grace than those that hate us. People hate what they don't understand, and they'll never understand us if we close off our hearts and lash out spitefully. Im not saying to put on some bullshit 'one of the good ones' persona or put up with mistreatment, but to consider that the division between us and cishet society is a two way street. Some of what you perceive as bigotry from them is really a lack of them understanding us. If you put out love, you'll get it back and not just for yourself, but for all of us.
