The 18-year-old actor made a rare appearance on Twitter Monday, writing: Back for a minute. Im bi. Congrats for forcing an 18 year old to out himself. I think some of you missed the point of the show. Bye. In Heartstopper, Connor plays Nick Nelson, a popular rugby player who befriends Joe Lockes Charlie Spring; the two develop a romantic relationship. Alice Oseman, the creator, writer and showrunner of Heartstopper, immediately shared her support for Connor in a reply to his tweet. I truly dont understand how people can watch Heartstopper and then gleefully spend their time speculating about sexualities and judging based on stereotypes, Oseman wrote. I hope all those people are embarrassed as FUCK. Kit you are amazing. Though Connor didnt specify why he felt forced to come out, some have recently accused the actor of queerbaiting on social media. The controversy began after photos emerged of him holding hands with Maia Reficco, his co-star in A Cuban Girls Guide to Tea and Tomorrow. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/1/5/AAaB-xAAD1oj.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/1/6/AAaB-xAAD1ok.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/1/7/AAaB-xAAD1ol.jpg Well that sucks. <cite>ZannoL posted [p:969110537] in 18 y/o act...

MrMallard 11/01/22 12:25:51 AM #17:	I remember a while back when Arin Hanson was on Tumblr, and people were messaging him asking him to come out as bisexual because it would mean so much to queer fans. This stems from the frequent honoeroticism he displays on Game Grumps. I don't even remember if he responded, but I remember the conversation getting so heated and the stakes of his sexuality getting so high that he never logged back on. As far as he's shared, he's a hetero man who's had some gay experiences in a way that reinforce his attraction to women, because he's secure enough in his sexuality and his lack of attraction during those gay experiences to know definitively that he's attracted to women. But even if he was bi, trying to guilt someone into coming out is a shitty thing to do and there's no justification for it. The most famous actor/actress in the world could be rampantly, 100%, all the way out queer behind closed doors, but they could display themselves as nothing but heterosexual in their public lives and in their career. At no point is anyone, from the most secluded hermit to the most well-known and influential person on earth, somehow honor-bound to disclose their sexuality for anyone else's benefit or comfort but their own. This was a shitty thing that happened, and I hope this Kit guy ends up being okay. --- Rest your head - you've got two pillows to choose from in a queen-sized bed Now Playing: Paladins, Minecraft, Danganronpa <cite>MrMallard posted [p:969111180] in 18 y/o act...

ROBANN_88 posted... please tell me that's not a real thing Queerbaiting is absolutely a thing. The typical example is when two male/female characters gets put in a vaguely homoerotic scenario and it gets advertised... but nothing will ever happen. Or they have a kiss but then one of the characters dies and the other kind of just loses plot relevancy.

This would be the same as taking an X race character and having it be played by a Y race person which is completely fine as long as X isn't trying to pretend to be Y. Race is another issue. Without makeup or whatever you can't just pretend to be another race. People's sexuality isn't defined by physical appearance so anyone can act like a sexuality they aren't. Like Robert Downey Jr in tropic thunder did a great job. I wouldn't have known he was white if I didnt already know (based on looks) but if he was legit playing a black character and not a white guy playing a black character I woulda felt it woulda been better to just hire a black actor --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
