| Topic | Why does every show nowadays have to have a gay character? |

Even in a gay story with mostly gay characters, if its set in the real world, a straight person being there shouldnt in and of itself bother someone, any more than someone with green eyes should. Gay people exist. Straight people exist. Theres no logical reason that they dont fit the context of anything. I find it makes less sense to add token characters depending the story you're trying to tell. Just because something exists that doesn't mean it's required in everything. Again it's all about the context. LinkPizza posted... The context thing is kind of weird also because not every character in a show or movie has to play a big part. If only important characters were in shows and movies, they would be pretty empty... Not really. If I'm telling a true to life story about a all girl school in the 1800's and wanted to highlight woman empowerment I don't want to be adding a token man just because they exist and while I'm at it adding a brand new, current time car in it because those exist now. The later even more so wouldn't make sense given the context of the film. This is a example I haven't given much thought however it makes the point that context is important to me. Otherwise it's out of place, awkward and eye rolling. Not everything needs to be all inclusive. --- One who knows nothing can understand nothing. http://psnprofiles.com/wwinterj - https://imgur.com/YvP6isz ... Copied to Clipboard! |
