Was he gay? Idk if the thing on the boat was genuine.
>>220046437He was a creepy "Anything that moves" faggot. Men, women, little kids, grannies, trannies. Tom Ripley didn't care. A hole is a hole. He was such a fucking loser. The only reason he killed Dickie was because he was jealous. Dickie was all the things Tom could never be - handsome, funny, wealthy, likeable, had a pretty girlfriend and friends. Tom sperged the fuck out and killed him in a jealous Incel rage.
>>220046676That was not my impression
>>220046437Slightly bisexual. It seemed like he just took anyone's attention in him to the extreme because he craved attention.
>>220047613you can just say gay. It's already a given they are mentally ill and prone to violence. Gein, Dahmer, Gacy, Columbine shooters, etc
>>220047800Gay would mean he has no interest in women at all, but he was heavily going after Marge (even after she correctly blamed him for Dickie's death) and he also offed the next guy he was with so he could get with Meredith on the ship at the end. He'd turncoat on guys the second a woman showed interest.
>>220047891His speech to Marge was his only play to try and break her train of thought. And he had to kill the guy on the boat because he couldn't kill Meredith for thinking he was Dickie, because she was with people. The guy was alone, and would blow his ruse by calling him Tom. No straight man would even consider men as option. If you take dick, you're gay. No such thing as bi-sexual.
>>220047891yeah you have to remember it's a lesbian author writing a gay male character, he's going to switch back at the drop of a hat
>>220048760>lesbian author writing a gay male characterIn the books he gets a girlfriend specifically so he can prove he's not gay. He also becomes more cringe and his enemies more cartoonishly evil to make him look good by comparison. It's crazy how hard the movie directors had to work to salvage her trainwreck.
