in a show like the Wire? No, honestly. Not even joking.

admittedly I am zoomer so I need to know: did anyone get annoyed back then?

5000 of them exist, you need more? Greedy fag. We need more straightcore movies like Malena, you are overrepresented and boring and cliche.

He was a hardcore violent criminal, and he was gay. Am I missing anything? Not that complex. I really think that show is overrated.
>>
>>216947465
Yes, because his faggotry wasn't central to his character
>>
>>216947465
Chuds didn't watch the Wire. Chuds would be watching the Sopranos where queers get raped to death with pool cues. Which is odd to me because all of the bad people are black in the Wire except for season 2 which no one likes because there aren't enough black villains.

If it was made today no one would show disgust towards his homosexuality, except maybe a white bad guy cop.

No one gave Omar shit for being a pickle puffer because Omar will fucking kill you. And we wonder why fags became mass shooters.

Omar wasn't gay. It was just a joke.

You OK, bud?

I'm as racist as they come and I love the Wire. It and Sopranos are by far the best shows and it isn't even close. In some ways the Wire is even more based than Sopranos.

>Could a character like Omar exist on television today with the amount of chuds that exist?

Him being gay would have 0 impact on whether people would accept him nowadays. But I do think audiences are a bit smarter now and won't accept a blatant 'Larry Stu' character that only exists so the writers can cream their pants over how heckin badass Omar is.

Here's my example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmUL2AwHf7s&t=83

I think if this scene was released in 2025, the audience would be way less amenable to how this scenario is presented. Like this type of shit was OK in the mid 2000s, but probably not nowadays. Twitter would be going crazy if this scene released as is in 2025. Omar here is public enemy #1 in the Baltimore drug scene. He robs and kills drug dealers all over town. Everyone fukcing knows about him because they all do that "Omar coming" bullshit. You mean to tell me the drug dealers holed up in an upstairs apartment can't stick their guns out the window and just blast him away when he's doing a gay ass speech? Why? Cuz they're scared lol? Bro I'm not stupid, and most modern audiences aren't stupid either. The fact that Omar survived past episode 1 is blatant favoritism and writers pet shit. It's a very stupid character in an otherwise very well done show, there's a good reason people who rob drug dealers/"stick up men"/hot boys don't last long in the drug game; it's because they're a problem for literally every single entity involved: the wholesalers, the street dealers, the customers, and the cops. There's no realistic reason he's able to stay alive, other than to be a Billy badass for the writers to jerk off to, and I think audiences are generally smarter/less susceptible to shit like this in today's day and age.

I mean look at Pic related. He's got his back turned to a trap house filled with gangsters with guns, and nobody shoots him right here? Lol there's no excuse for shitty writing like this. It's insulting to the audience really.

Abon tripled the bounty he had on him when he found out he was all faggot.

It was the WMD. It mass destructed his ass.

Zesty

The biggest argument against Omar is that even the reddit faggots today could not condone his behavior.
He was a certified snitch and pedophile.

esl? Yes?
