Shazam 2: unnecessary gay character coming out storyline

[Anonymous]

What is the deal with TV and movies needing to check every single DEI box? It's gotten preposterous and such a distraction from the basic storytelling.

Shazam 2 was a mediocre movie, but made even more so by the totally unnecessary gay character coming out storyline. It was so clumsy and poorly done, and didn't advance the story at all. C'mon. this is a dumb superhero movie for kids. what is the point?

I’m confused. When is it “necessary “ for a character to be gay?

That character was fat inclusive and they had the main as a disabled inclusive kid they also has the diverse family with one Asian parent and one Hispanic parent who adopted Asian Latino black and white kids. They made the movie as inclusive as could be to the point it was eye rolling.

Sounds like marketing to reach the largest audience possible. They probably ran the numbers and decided it didn't matter if you rolled your eyes. Why so triggered?

It’s not coming out when it’s always been clear.

Patrick and sponge bob are gay too.

And Bert and Ernie

And Thelma

It’s not new to us who see.

Freddy Freeman has been a disabled character since the 40s.

Can you imagine if we only consumed media that showed the norm.

“Once there was a dad with two little children named Hansel and Gretel, he took them on a hike and a picnic in the woods. They fed some birds and played hide and go seek together. Then they went home together. The end”

The only thing that would be left is Caillou!

No sh¡t they’re gay. But kudos to Sesame Street for not needing to make their coming out a big to-do. That’s the point.

Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with being straight, but if it’s not necessary to the plot, why do they have to shove straight couples in our faces? I don’t need to know what you do in the bedroom.

You know what’s funny about this argument is that there’s also an uproar when movies quietly place gay characters in movies. There’s no winning with some people.
