[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=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?[/quote]

I get it, OP. I hate it when movies have unnecessary heterosexual relationships. Yuck.[/quote]

I know!  It’s so unnecessary to show the norm. How crazy![/quote]

Lol expecting norm in a super hero movie.

Hello tgey are flying in the sky but the crazy thing to you is a character is gay. Lol.

P.s. Bert and Ernie are gay[/quote]

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. [/quote]

IIRC a handful of years back, Sesame Street said that Bert and Ernie are children, that they are not in a relationship, and that they are best friends.  (also, they are puppets.)  It's funny that we can't imagine such a close male friendship without assuming that they are gay.  [/quote]

Their characters are modeled after Saltzman's and his partner, Arnold "Arnie" Glassman a gay couple.[/quote]
Saltzman didn't start writing for Sesame until 15 years after Bert and Ernie were created.  And while he may have modeled aspects of the characters' relationship on his own, they remain puppets and children, and have no sexual or romantic relationship.  [/quote]
