Hiring straight men to play gay men in films and tv is obnoxiously homophobic. The message is clear to any gay man - you are not attractive enough to be valued, we cannot even portray you with your own kind, it would offend people, so we have to pretend a more normal man is your kind or it won't be sexy.
>>44238449It’s called ACTING
gay men are famously more attractive than straight men. even straight women think so
>>44238469Name all the movies about Martin Luther King Jr where he is portrayed by a white actor. You cannot fake acting gay. It just doesn't work. That's why the AGP HSTS dichotomy even exists.
>>44238492Aidan Gillen (CIA) played an extremely convincing gay man in Queer as Folk
>>44238449Luke Evans is openly gay and has a good hustle playing obnoxious nasty straight men that women lust after. I think straight men just get more of a career boost playing gay for the 'scandal' and all the interviews they get to do.
>>44238500no he did not, you are just agp and have no idea what actual gay men look or act like
>>44238449>Hiring straight men to play gay men in films and tv is obnoxiously homophobicThat ship sailed a long time ago nigga.An adult woman plays the role of an adolescent boy in Odyssey and nobody complains about the self-evident misandry of that.It's acting. It's literally the art of playing pretend. Stop being so anal retentive.
>>44238600its not actingwhite men don't play black historical figuresits replacing theoretical gays with straight men cuz actual gay men aren't masculine enough to sexualize, just be honest about why you are doing itits done on purpose, the people making such films and tv shows hate gay men, find them disgusting, and are just trying to get women to shlick to lazy softcore porn for ad cash
>>44238630>white men don't play black historical figuresthey do. In civilized countries anyway. Of course it doesn't happen in burgeristan because you people are straight up insane.>you are doing itnigga i'm not a film producer. i'm just a random anon on the mongolian basket weaving forum.you putting so much energy into some films by people you don't know and who don't give a shit about you is a you problem.but whatever. ig some people really don't have a life of their own.>the people making such films and tv shows hate gay menstop buying their product. it's not hard.in fact, a lot more people agree (at least partially) with you and that's why most hollyweird productions flop these days.
>>44238489no women just can't stand the idea of a man who doesn't want to fuck them. even if they don't know they're gay, they can sense in a gay men his total lack of interest in their pussy, which makes them desperate to reinstate what they believe the natural order is.>>44238449they only hire effeminate gays for 'representation', and straights for when they wanna make women wet. after all what's the point of a gay man if they can't even be used for fashion advice or smut? we have to make them serve women digitally if not physically.
>>44238664>they doname one example
>>44238449This wouldn't be an issue if we shamed people into the closet still. Your gaydar only goes off when gained its claimed. Otherwise you can't tell unless they're flaming.
>>44238967>*Your gaydar only goes off when gayness is claimed.
>>44238940every single historical movie made in Spain, Italy or Greece. They're all-white even though that's not the history of any of these three.Same goes for every historical movie made in the last decade in Central Asia (where the existence of the chinese or russians is purposefully denied or severely downplayed).Oh and all South Korean cinematography. Like all of it. There is not a single non-Korean character in any mainstream south korean movie.I could go on but it's clear that your cultural universe is narrow and shallow so there's no point.
>>44239026It's only considered white in certain context. The expansion of accepting these ethnicities as white has and continues to be faught and argued about.
>>44239038>the american perspective is the only perspective that existsno, actually.muh "certain context" is an exclusively USA perspective. One that I hold in contempt (alongside the entirety of "american culture") and a perspective that is anyway completely outside of reality itself. The tribesmen in LatAm recognize the Spaniard as the white man, just like Ethiopians always recognized the Italians and the Greeks (and northern egyptians) as white - for far longer than the USA itself existed.>The expansion of accepting these ethnicities as white has and continues to be faught and argued aboutIn the US. But not anywhere else in the world. As I said, your cultural universe is narrow and shallow. You assume your shithole culture is the global default. Well, it's not.I refuse to give primacy to the dopey opinions of a bunch of mutts who are maaaaybe 5% of the world (and 70% of them are niggers anyway by both behavior and race).The times when american culture was the default are over, unc. This isn't 1980s anymore. It was already an anomaly that the shittiest western culture ended up the default. That anomaly has been over for a decade now.
