Yo for real, the Imitation Game was such a shitty movie. It was genuinely upsetting how bad it was, but the media kept telling me it was fantastic and not trash. It was weird.

Yes, as long as they're willing and able accurately play the part. Including any makeout / sex scenes. As long as that's the case, no one is even going to know unless they go out of their way to check (unlike the very obviously visible case of a white actor playing a black character or vice versa, etc).

Obviously they can and should. Just like a gay person could play a straight character. But what does it even matter in movies where they are playing a token gay character?

Think people need to learn to separate actors from roles. Think of how stupid shit would sound if we started complaining Jason Voorhees wasn't played by a real serial killer.

But counterpoint, should a white actor be allowed to dress up and play a black character? Because the crux of the argument seems to be that instead of legitimate representation, youre creating caricatures. So are straight actors playing gay roles legitimate representation or caricatures? As a gay man myself I am getting sick of this conflation of race with sexuality. They're not even remotely the same thing, and it also conveniently forgets that bisexual people exist. --- This is my signature until I can think of a better one. ... Copied to Clipboard!

And let's not forget that NPH (a gay man) played a straight man (and a womanizer, no less) for the better part of a decade an nobody seemed all that upset.

A straight person is not visibly not gay - heck, I'm straight and I've long since lost count how many times people have thought I wasn't. --- To Trumble, or not to Trumble, that is the question. ...
