Current Events > It's hilarious to see people complain about Sandman being "too gay."

(+) Yeah! (+)

Literally every LGBT character in the show was also LGBT in the comic which was released in 1989.

On the bright side, it mostly shut them up about a few roles going to black actors.

Funniest is when people try to argue with Neil Gaiman about the series going woke

"How dare the original author make small changes to the race/sex of a few characters in his own story!?"

Anti-woke just like to hear themselves talk, because no one will talk to them.

Not to mention that one of the ongoing themes in The Sandman is gender fluidity

I think these people never fucking read the comic, basically

My favorite complaint is that "all the straight white men are the bad guys!"

The main villains in this season are the Corinthian, a gay man, and Desire, a genderfluid god.

So good job on that one too, guys.

To be fair, if I was a genderfluid god who looked that good, Id be pretty naughty too.

They did add the lesbian scene with Constantine - that was not in the original. That scene worked fine, but not as visually cool as the comic. And yeah, I know that John Constantine is famously bi-sexual in the comics, but not in that particular issue of Sandman.

Bisexual people don't stop being bisexual. They're just bisexual.

All the complaints about race swapping, but I've never heard a peep about Sandman being made caucasian instead of white white for the series.

Also, some (i.e. quite a lot) people do not commonly show stereotypical and/or noticeable behaviour when it comes to sexuality. So yeah, sometimes there can be an issue or episode with a bisexual person not showing any 'bisexual behaviour', but that doesn't mean they're like taking a break from being bisexual.

That wasn't really my point. John Constantine is bisexual, and having a man or woman in that scene would've been in character for him. But John is not in this episode, it's Johanna. So to say that "Literally every LGBT character in the show was also LGBT in the comic which was released in 1989" is not strictly true.

You shouldn't have clarified because that's even dumber than what you said the first time.

Is this a complaint about movies or real life?
