This kind of thing makes me feel bad, because it feels like the frankly offensive people who say "hey we'll get blind support if we just virtue signal with an underwritten LGBTQ+ character" are getting exactly what they want with you. You are going so far to defend them as to literally defend bad writing. "A character being underwritten isn't so bad." ...um, no it generally is, and them being gay or anything doesn't change that.
You don't understand how writing a story works. You cannot have a story with wherein every character that appears is super developed with layers of complexities unless you're a masterclass writer and your audience doesn't mind bloated works. Giving the less important characters too much screen time distracts from the main protagonists and makes things messy. Most works have filler characters that don't add or subtract from the overarching story, and that's fine. This isn't even about LGBTQIA+ anymore, this is something very basic that any writer on youtube will tell you.

And I literally said this type of character wouldn't be good representation, so I have no idea what you're on about here.

Star Trek
I don't watch this so I can't discuss the character interactions or motivations, but in terms of "character was 100% straight but now they're not" that's a thing that happens irl. Either they were deep in the closet and never told anyone, or they just organically developed a sexually attracted to the same sex over time. It might sound like "lazy writing lol it just happened for no reason" but it's legit a thing that can happen. Dunno whether or not they're a good character or if the show is good, but them being gay shouldn't factor into it.

It's not homophobic to dislike tokenism or a trend of very underwritten "representation" characters
Yes, it is, if you're attributing them being a poor character to their sexuality. You're applying a specific standard to queer characters that says they need to be written a certain way or they're bad/forced/unnecessary. Thinking that any character who doesn't fit the heteronormative status quo needs to have their inclusion justified is literally just homophobia. Some characters are just gay, because in real life, people are just gay.

This type of shit never gets directed at cishet characters. Instead of "x is a bad character because they're forced diversity" it's usually "x is a bad character because they themselves (not their sexuality) add nothing to the story/their thought process is unrealistic/their motivations don't make sense/they clash with the tone too much/etc." But no, apparently being gay is an automatic negative mark. They have to be super duper interesting to make up for being different. Like I said, it's thinly veiled bigotry.

Also, I should mention that a character being one dimensional is... not inherently bad. Not every character needs to be round and expecting every character in a story to be hyper deep and multifaceted is really weird because that's not how most stories work. Flat characters exist to contrast and flesh out the round characters, and if they succeed in that then they're good characters. If they were able to push the story along and provide entertainment then they did their job.

If the only gays character(s) are flat in a story are flat, then yeah, that's mediocre representation, but that doesn't make them "bad gay characters", assuming they aren't being used to push harmful or offensive stereotypes. They're just flat characters that you weren't supposed to care for.

I skimmed this thread and I haven't seen a single specific example, let alone an entire list. Despite this apparently happening all the time, all they can muster is a vague gesture that this super common phenomenon is going unchecked despite this type of criticism being around for years and never changing. Feels like they just wanna bitch about the idea of gay people in media or something.

People hate all kinds of badly written characters, and nobody is saying "every gay character has no defining traits beyond being gay"
Your enlightened centrism makes no sense here, this topic is specifically talking about characters being badly written or unnecessary because they're gay. No one ever makes this distinction with cishet characters. Associating homosexual characters with the idea that they're poorly written (literally in the OP) is inherently homophobic.

Dang, was it like this when black people started getting added into media?
Yes, actually. The same also happened with interracial relationships back in the day. Almost all of the anti-diversity arguments used against LGBTQIA+ inclusion today are just recycled from the civil rights era.

That tweet hurt her credibility for me. Feels very calculated.
She could've come out with this story anytime during the primaries, but she distinctly waited until Biden became the front runner to come forward. She took her story to the Sanders and Warren campaigns, but neither of them took it seriously despite not being shy about attacking Bloomberg on his sexist history during the debates. She's changed her story multiple times, but had had people corroborate different claims.

She's so obviously full of shit. And this is coming from someone who despises Biden.

The only thing Trump had going for him in November was that the economy was (or, rather, it appeared to be) okay, but that's completely gone up in smoke. He had a small boost to his approval ratings due to "rally around the flag" effect, but it lasted less than a week and he's gone back to his average ratings of <45%. There was a blue wave in a 2018 mid terms, and democratic turnout was high in the primaries.

"Literally anyone but Trump" is likely to work out this time around, which is... Okay I guess. Sure, Trump sucks, but he was far from the only thing plaguing America, and Biden's neoliberal tendencies won't properly address any of the big issues like the income gap or climate change. Shit's lame af.

02/17/20 5:27:33 AM

Daryl Davis is a well meaning person, but he's ineffectual at best and a helpful idiot at worst.

https://medium.com/@justinward/daryl-davis-makes-a-new-friend-7a48bc43ad95

One of the many episodes of violence at the Unite the Right rally was an incident in which a man named Richard Preston fired his gun at a black counter-protestor.
Preston, Imperial Wizard of the Maryland-based Confederate White Knights, is another one of Davis friends.

The size and activity of Prestons organization, which now has chapters in 11 states, undermines Davis core narrative.
In the Netflix documentary Accidental Courtesy, Davis gets into heated arguments with Baltimore Black Lives Matter activists, who are rightfully skeptical of his claim that there is no more Ku Klux Klan in the state of Maryland.

Rose: So, since 1990, which is longer than Ive been alive, youve been trying to infiltrate the Klan. But what does that do for people?
Davis: Well, Ill tell you what Ill tell you what it does, okay? The state of Maryland had a large Klan organization. When the Imperial Wizard, which means the national leader, when he turned in his robe to me, the Maryland Ku Klux Klan fell apart.

Davis is referring to his friendship with Roger Kelly, an Imperial Wizard of an earlier Maryland Klan group. But after that group dissolved, the Klan reconstituted itself under Prestons leadership in 2013. In the same year that Accidental Courtesy came out Preston was on the road, holding rallies in Pennsylvania and Indiana, steadily building his organization.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Preston has been engaged in a rebranding in the past few years. He no doubt sees Davis as useful to that and other ends.
