more like LGTBRAAAP
Owen Gray
Simple.
You put them in, you say NOTHING, and don't pat yourself on the pack.
Mason Rodriguez
I always knew Candace was trans.
Matthew Bennett
Exactly.
Tyler Rodriguez
making their sexual preferences remain in the background, that are part of their development as a person but not the main axis of this, you know, like in real life, maybe?
Matthew Myers
So Steven Universe
Cooper Brooks
How did they come to the conclusion that Candace was trans?
Baljeet I can believe, but Candace?
Mason Flores
Sexuality is part of a character, not the character.
Nolan Nelson
You hint they are or briefly say they are with no one caring and leave it at that.
People will bitch even if you don't bring attention to it because that's how people are
Dominic White
It’s assumed that all characters are gay until otherwise shown.
Cameron Rogers
Also how could Phineas and Ferb be asexual if they both eventually fall in love and have gfs
Anthony Anderson
is an example of what not to do. Everyone working on the show brags on social media about the LGBT themes.
Joshua Kelly
Make them surly old gay men. There's no audience for that.
Grayson Smith
You write a good character that happens to be gay instead of writing a gay character and trying to force them down the audience's throat. It's not rocket science
Kayden Kelly
Easy.
I don't mention it all and just say that one character is bisexual.
Grayson Reyes
Not really, I've never seen Sugar outright brag about putting gay characters in the show. Its usually other people who commend her for it and then she explains why she did it.
Matthew Moore
Candace? More like Trandace!
Luke Russell
>gay people can't mention that they are gay
You're already enforcing strict discrimination against them
Landon Hill
because the people who put those labels on cartoons are delusional
Ayden Gutierrez
It's a fault of the fans mostly, no one in the crew has ever paraded their characters sexuality around, blame Buzzfed and other shitty places trying to get woke points, the same that shouted "gay rights" because Star Vs had some randos kissing in the background and some are same sex couples.
Samuel Green
Based Mung.
Ayden Morris
The fans do and some people who work on it. But on the actual show, it isn't pushed and is never really questioned. No episode where they get "bullied" for it. It just is, like in real life.
Cameron Kelly
>sapiosexual
this is what gave the joke to me, made me chuckle too
Tyler Moore
They said asexual, not aromantic. I don't want sex, and have never felt sexual attraction, but I fall in love with people too often.
Bentley Butler
To Yea Forums, any hint or nod of them being LGBT is "pushing an agenda", so I guess not.
Chase Butler
Did you quote the right post? I didn't say (or imply) that.
Sebastian Mitchell
Best use of LGBT characters coming through
Tyler Diaz
I'd point out Sugar is very vocal about LGBT rights and equality, but then again she's very logical about it, and doesn't use her characters explicitly. Within the show it's more
>Okay, and these rock people all look like women
>Some of these rock people get into parallels for relationships with other rock women
>Sometimes they don't
Even the way it approached separation of gem roles and fusions wasn't obnoxious, it was generally told in a fun and entertaining manner (eldritch caterpillar aside), and I'm usually a stickler for that kind of stuff.
You make them, and you make them the same way you would other characters. Flaws, weaknesses, strengths, insecurities, people calling them out on wrongdoings, growth in themselves, inspiring others, being inspired by others.
Not to suck SU's dick again, but Pearl and Garnet are pretty good examples. All the character and show flaws in terms of writing thus stem from actual other minor problems like
>Pearl arguably instigating a false flag war
>Garnet debatably being codependent
>Steven being used as a pawn in a war that he should never have been victim to
>All villains being convinced far too easily by Steven's absurd CHA and persuasion feats
>Steven arguably forgiving former villains far too easily, in addition to the dick moves by his so called responsible guardians
>A lack of tension and fight scenes in recent seasons
>Onion Friends.
Are all flaws that don't stem from characters being LGBT, and therefore members of the fanbase don't resent them for it.
Xavier Roberts
You do it so hard it becomes the norm. People only say "muh agenda" when it's obvious you do that for good boy points.
Kevin Martinez
There's no fucking way this isn't trying to push an agenda about gays.
youtube.com
Luke Baker
yeah, and that 'agenda' is that queer people are people too and deserve the same rights as every other human on the planet. People always say 'the gay agenda' like they're trying to form a military or take over the world or something, when they really just want to exist without being punished for it
William King
I watch cartoons for fun, not because I want to have "gay people should have equal rights" shoved down my throat in a world where gay people already have equal rights.
Jack Nelson
thing is, every other human doesn't have as many right as LGBT people think, either. LGBT activists seem to think straight people live in some social utopia and are disappointed to find out that, no, they don't, and then they renege when they discover they have to grind through life like the rest of the 99%.
Cooper Foster
you make it part of the story but not the focus of the story
why? because any story that focuses on romance first and foremost sucks
and you dont go btw dubldore was gay either because thats blatant pandering
Have your character party, get drunk and wake up in some guys appartment, there he is gay and its shown in a completely natural way, then he can get a love interest
or have him grab some dudes asshole or come out of a gay bar
Leo Garcia
Real talk though: Is it even possible without the media storm?
PBS didn't even promote that Arthur episode was going to have gayness to it. They mostly focused on the gamer episode afterwards in advertising. All the media and news shit you heard of it was from social media users screeching about it
Jeremiah Allen
Make it look like an unremarkable facet of an otherwise regular character.

the problem with SU is that then it subscribes with the "forgiveness and positivity at any cost, even for the galactic conquerors that destroyed a million planets", which ultra liberals tend to adhere to hard.
Adam Brooks

Oh yeah, ultra liberals differently show forgiveness and positivity towards republicans.
Brayden Fisher

Tyler Torres
I only call it an agenda when you expect me to just accept blatant child grooming as normal and healthy.
Asher Bell
Damn we should make that illegal
Jaxson Ramirez
Have a gay character who is also kind of a bad person.
Hudson Clark
The only way to add lgbt characters without pushing an agenda is to portray them them as incredibly flawed messed up people.
Nicholas Nguyen
Yeah in countries that would either not be airing these cartoons or would censor them anyway
Jace Rivera
so are a lot of people
Jose Cox
Not to tip your boat, because I think the whole gay agenda is bullshit talk for people who simply don't understand shit, but it'll come as a shock to you that people everywhere are killed for everything be it because they're gay, or aren't.
Thomas Mitchell
If your really wanted to be inclusive, should you even include a trans character? Wouldn't bringing attention to the transness of a character run counter to a trans person trying to pass as their identified gender?
Liam Wood
Arthur did that and people still bitched
Asher Martin
It’s far more prevalent in those countries yes, but there are cases in the UK and the US as well.
Andrew Sullivan
Perhaps, and other minorities are on par too, but most other people that are victims of those actions aren’t also victims of hate crimes. People still play identity politics over this.
Ryder Hall
People who make one aspect of their identity (race, religion, sexual orientation, etc) the sole aspect of their identity are obnoxious. Characters that do it are made to pander to those same obnoxious people.
If you add a token, give em a personality outside of their tokenism. Add a black guy? Give him hobbies and relevance to the plot. A life that makes sense within the world youve crafted instead of based in stereo types. If you want to make a character based on stereo types the rule of thumb is to have another character with the same identifying trait that defies those stereo types.
I only have Yea Forums examples but; in will and grace we have Jack to define gay stereo types, and Will to defy them. In Blackish we have an entire cast of different types of black people, and one guy who defines every stereo type.
Thus...balance.
Noah Torres
And it will come as a shock to you that those other people are usually chosen for other reasons such as a drug deal gone bad or a turf war. Not just because they were gay.
Samuel Rodriguez
>constantly
I haven't heard a news story about someone being beat up for being gay in like 5 years. And I'm talking about in non-muslim majority countries

Probably because you aren’t looking for it.

Can't you read? I said I was talking about non-muslim majority countries.
Adam Robinson
I have a little challenge for myself that if I were to ever make a show, I would fill it with so many LGBT characters and make it a central theme of the show AND have Yea Forums still love it. And it would actually be super easy.
I think you can totally explore a character's sexuality and/or gender identity and it won't be pandering because those things tend to have a lot of an impact on your life and it'd be weird to completely ignore those aspects. The thing about that however is that you need something else to focus on. For example, let's say you have an urban fantasy series set in a fantasy New York with a lesbian, a bisexual man, and a trans woman as part of the main cast. You could have the lesbian be a by-the-books elvish police officer who feels disillusioned with the state of the world, the bi guy be a hikikomori white hat hacker with mild sociopathic tendencies, and the trans women be the eccentric and lovable owner of a store in Brooklyn that sells potions, spellbooks, magical familiars, etc. I'm coming up with these off the top of my head, but you can do anything as long as the characters are unique. As basically everyone in the thread has said, you've got to have the character be interesting outside of who they are or who they want to fuck.
Colton Clark
No they can't. That's against discrimination laws.
Kevin Allen
So you are saying that if someone in a majority in their area are beaten, killed, or harassed, that it is less of a crime?
Are you saying that a crime is worse when motived by a minority status?
Is the crime of harassment, assault, and murder in and of itself not awful in all cases? Or is it made more awful by petty motivations?
Tyler Baker
A smaller number of cases do not make it an epidemic
I'm saying this as a fag I never felt endangered
Jacob Carter
UK: Muslim country
US: Yeah but black dudes
That's not bullshit either, hell, even LGBT academics talk about how a hugely disproportionate hate comes from black communities. I think a trans person is 500x more likely to be assaulted by a black guy than any other demographic.
Tyler Harris
Which is hilarious because normally they're on the supposed same political side.
Isaiah Green
No, you read what I said wrong.
Hudson Phillips
Dont make a big deal about it. The first words out of their mouth shouldnt be "I'm whatever the fuck kind of gay." It should be a standard introduction. Then its shown later that said character is gay or whatever. Its that fucking simple, DONT MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT. DONT SHOVE IT IN OUR FACE, DONT MAKE THEM A MARY SUE. ITS NOT HARD
Cameron Moore
Some countries they can get arrested or executed for it.
Isaiah Powell
Can’t you read? London isn’t a country.
Also, Muslims make up 5% of the population in England, so even if we were talking about the country your comment is bullshit.
Christian Clark
You wait for the final episode, in the last 20 seconds left you grab the manliest guy in the team and reveal he was gay all along. Bonus points if you marry him with a random gay guy.
Brayden Rodriguez
What fag nonsense are you on about? I didn’t say anything like that.
I’m saying someone in a majority in their area doesn’t have that as a factor in their assault. 100% guaranteed.
Xavier Hughes
Wtf are you talking about dipshit? Nobody used the word “epidemic”, which is mainly used for diseases.
Henry Long
Yeah, and they censor the gay bits out in those counties.
Jayden Young
Then go bother people in those countries. Leave the people who dont do that shit the hell alone.
Cameron Gutierrez

Luis Jackson
'Intersectionality' is a meme, and a shallow one at that.
Lucas Long
Okay, so what is a hate crime and why does it matter? If a white dude gets assaulted in a bar in flyover state america, and a gay guy gets assaulted in the same bar for being gay. Presuming both are completely innocent with no provocation, is one assault inherently worse then the other? Despite both men having broken faces?

Owen Butler
I know the reasons why most shows wait until the *very* last second to confirm a character is gay, but it honestly annoys me at this point. I’d rather have a gay character show same-sex attraction/have a romance within the first season instead of waiting until the last minute for it to be some big ‘reveal’ for the audience. Nothing annoys me more than a ‘SURPRISE! This character was secretly gay all along!’ moment.

Evan Bell
Brooo?!
Sunday church services are voluntary and for your OWN children. Making teachers read tranny books to elementary school kids is indoctrination
Shits not even comparable.
Putting gays in cartoons is right on the line. On the one hand its can often be pushing an agenda. On the other hand gays are here, they arent going anywhere, and having them show up is reflective of society. Really activates the almonds.
Brayden Robinson
You don't. They're such a small portion of the population that the only reason you would think to include them is because of some personal bias you have in their favor.
Samuel Thompson
Because 8 year olds don't get invited to their teacher's gay wedding. And if they do, they shouldn't go.
Brayden Bennett
Yea, your comment didnt qualify, and most people still dont know the difference between racism and prejudice
All white people do not boil down their identity to one aspect and claiming so is prejudice and frankly stupid.
Juan Jones
I don’t remember anyone bitching about this guy. Maybe I missed the shit storm.

Unless it fulfils their fetish, they'll always say it's an agenda. Do you want to add em? If yes, don't make them fucking insufferable to the point gay is their only personality trait and I won't give a fuck either way.
David Moore
yea in third world shit holes in america its a hate crime and the shit is peddled in EVERY FUCKING MEDIA. Every form of entertainment media is pushing that we have to give a shit about what fuckin flavor they are. whats left of the lgbt community is a riot with no actual goal other than normalizing every degenerate fetish onto youth and the general populace. In third world countries where that shit actually has consequence should be what they are focused on but no its just spew of propaganda and bastardizing any original stance/goal of gay rights. Its political fad people hide behind because it makes them look decent and progressive just like feminism and how its gone from valid complaints to taint sucking nit pickers. sick of seeing this shit i have no problem with actual gay shit but the amount of bullshit that comes with it and the SHEER VOLUME of worthless shipping and virtue signaling disgusts me and dilutes entertainment value of the cartoons or whatever media they are forced into
Robert Russell
>Sunday church services are voluntary
Dont play the innocent retard card user, evangelical indoctrination is everywhere in burger town.
>Putting gays in cartoons is right on the line of indoctrination
Only if you are a shitty parent who lets their children watch anything they want.
That beeing said, Im in favor of normalizing gay relationships in media, especially in children media. Im certain it would significatively reduce the amount of ignorant assholes in 10-20 years from now.
Noah Smith
You have a character who doesn't act like their sexuality is their primary defining feature. Don't call attention to it, and only reveal that aspect (and I can't stress this enough) if it helps the story in a meaningful way. Done with subtlety it can add depth and make for a more nuanced narrative. Broadcasting it in a ham-fisted way so the author can earn Progressive Points ™ is the surest way to turn off readers/viewers.
Dylan Garcia
>>Dont play the innocent retard card user, evangelical indoctrination is everywhere in burger town.
From your own family. They cant force you to go to church sperglord.
And childrens media normalizing gays isnt something Im against, but with the pandering woke sjw writers on a mission to save the world it seems to come at the cost of the production. And you are fucking insane if you think kids cartoons will help the worlds ignorance levels.
Get out of your bubble you backwoods reject.
Brayden Perry
That autist that screeched for two and a half hours about Steven Universe nailed the problem pretty well in my opinion:
heterosexuals come up with clean slate, baby face homosexual characters without any nuance or charm/faults to avoid liberal blowback of not getting every minute detail of an ever changing set of rules and ideals of gay culture.(IE, you can't create a catty femme like the Queer Eye team because heaven forbid you present a gay as a lisping airhead.)
homosexual or queers come up with homosexual characters that are almost paragons to avoid what they believe will be conservative blowback. (IE, you can't have a sleazy gay playboy because that puts fire under the stereotype that gay men are sexually promiscuous.)
Gays and Lesbians and transgenders are never incorrect, they're never on the wrong side of an argument or problem, they're never racist, or classist, or nationalistic or globalist. They're always just a little too precious.
Adam Hill
Unironically yes. It's unfortunate the show gets hailed by people as being the saving grace of animation BECAUSE it has gay characters, or how CartoonBrew favors Rebecca Sugar as a creator because she's a bisexual woman or how people highlight the show having gay characters more than fucking anything else. But in the context of the show itself, it does it right.
Had the Gravity Falls cops been revealed to be gay in the middle of the show instead of at the last 5 minutes, they would've been a good example, too. They're funny "obsessed with each other" characters, like Morticia and Gomez.
I don't want to list adult cartoon shows because that's cheating.
Jacob Reyes
Those cops were great, I do not remember the gay reveal
Austin Long
It was at the very, very end of the last episode where they say some little joke and then pause, grab each other's hands, and look into each other's eyes while finishing a sentence they were both going to say.
Jose Gray
>Gays and Lesbians and transgenders are never incorrect, they're never on the wrong side of an argument or problem

Josiah Mitchell
>You put them in, you say NOTHING, and don't pat yourself on the pack.
this.
if the show revolves around relationships then it's obviously going to occur as a subject matter and element of character growth.
if the show is a vehicle for selling products and the characters are all blank slates with nothing but the thinnest personality to get by for plotlines... sexuality obviously isn't involved and shouldn't be involved:

Honestly it isn't surprising that Blacks and the gays don't mix since they really haven't in America. On both sides of the aisle African-Americans are given reasons to reject LGBTQ+ stuff in general. A lot of them do it for religious/societal reasons as contrary to popular belief and to the chagrin of the most liberals, African-Americans tend to shun the enlightened elitism of Atheism+ types. You're more likely to find a black jew/Muslim than a euphoric fedoralord in most African-American neighborhoods even if they're in liberal controlled states like California. Even liberal non-leftist blacks will tolerate gays but only if they have to. Whether by the counterculture of rejecting the idea that whitey wants everyone gay with sparkledog buttplugs, fear of bugchasing pozzers, or the effeminate weakness/debauchery of it all, most blacks have an instinctive revulsion to the LGBTQ+ lifestyle.
Caleb Collins
You can’t add them without pushing an agenda because the agenda is the point of adding them. It isn’t about the people, never was- it has always been about control and power and by pushing an agenda you create a rally point to gather followers who will make you their leader and thus we arrive back at power and control. -idrr
Xavier Martin

Brandon Gray
Real Talk SU is both a massive cop out and also horrible at the LGBTQ+ shit because every character is a laughable stereotype of insane lesbians. Garnet/Ruby/Sapphire are the fist first lesbians who once they stuffed their boxes, they immediately moved in and became conjoined at the hip like an anglerfish. Lapis and to an extent Pearl are abused and battered housewives with one becoming her victimizer (Lapis) and their other becoming obsessively codependent (Pearl). Amethyst is the fat bastard hedonist people think of a landwhale butch lesbian. She's filling her holes 24/7 in one way or another because she's not happy with herself or others. Peridot is the nerdy girl who went lez because someone roped her into it and is woefully codependent on an abusive relationship like Pearl in an effort to fit in.
The cop out is that every gem is a woman so it's easy to make them "gay" when by Sugar's own words their asexual space rocks. It's America Chavez being a "lesbian" only because their a mono-gendered species so of course they're going to be homosexual as their procreation allows it. If they needed heterosexual procreation to evolve/transform then they would do it and we know this because this is how Steven.
It's actually funny because sans the implication Rose was a hedonist flower child that went native, the icon of Rebellion against Homeworld had to commit the dreaded act of heterosexuality to give birth to the Gem Messiah Steven and his narcissim for himself along with heterosexual love for Connie is what saved the day. So the lesbians fucked everything up and needed the heteronormies to fix it as usual.
Asher Mitchell

Gays who's personality is entirely being gay are obnoxious, tedious, boring human beings of little import. Most people who take a single aspect of their self and inflate it into their sole defining characteristic are tedious human beings to interact with.
Nothing wrong with being strongly passionate about something and that being a part of who you are, but if your entire schtick is that you are a stereotypical flaming queen, you are just the rainbow equivalent of the weird guy who wears all black and never shuts up about the insane clown posse.
Do you see what I'm saying? Its a boring and shitty characterization that generally reflects uninteresting people.

>the same rights as every other human on the planet
Can you name one that gay people didn't have in, say, 2000? Describe specific things. For example, heterosexual people have never been at liberty to marry whomever they might want. Married people are generally off limits, for example, and the laws regulating such eligibility issues applied equally to straight and gay people.
Adrian Anderson
You can't.
Maybe in 2015 where nobody was yelling about "MAH LGBT REPRESENTATION" or "FUCKING LIBERALS AND THEIR GAY AGENDA".
Ruby and Sapphire, Jeff mothers and that guy from Paranorman were good examples of well LGBT characters, but imagine if you do today after all sjw shit that happened in the last decade. All you will get will be the same reactions I mentioned at first.
The only alternative way would be background characters or LGBT characters with their condition seen as a funny thing (like Smithers or Puri-Puri Prisoner).
Putting the gay couple in the center of attention will be the same and it'll get the same angry reactions. It's something that has been done in a lot of series recently, nobody want to see that again. Or at least try to make the couple the more cute and less forced as possible.
Jayden Hernandez
Arthur did it right. No explanation, no agenda. Just present the character as gay and never mention it again.
I think my fourth grade teacher actually invited her students to her wedding to sing a song. Obviously not the reception though.

>Trump: then I'm doing this thing to punish you for doing that thing
>Mexico: all right, we won't do this thing any more if you stop that thing
>Trump: OK
What do you think the point of the tariffs was in the first place? Trump has been the focus of most news media for three and a half years now, and you still miss things like this?
Isaiah Brown
Flanderization occurs over time, where a character starts out with some quirks that gradually consume their character. Ned Flanders from The Simpsons is the namesake example. That user was talking more about a character being built around identity politics from the start.
Parker Robinson
- The right to be legally married to another non-related, not otherwise married, consenting adult, and all the benefits entailed (eg: benefits related to inheritance, power of attorney, health insurance benefits sharing, etc).
- The right to adopt children.
- The right to serve openly in the military.
- The right to have the same age of consent as heterosexuals.
- The right to not be discriminated against based on sexual orientation when seeking employment, or obtaining goods/services.

Also if you're gonna add lgbt characters in cartoons, at least market your show to have an audience of 13 +. Teaching kids about trans and gay should be explained to them like those puberty videos you watch in elementary.
Christian Jackson
I don’t mind if a character is LGBT, but I hate it when that’s the only trait they have. It’s kinda like making a black character, and the only character trait they have is being black.
And also, cartoons with LGBT characters should be Atleast 13+, or Atleast censorable (not a key element to the series). Because if not you’ll lose the Anti-LGBT market (the Christian parents that shelter their kids, the entire nation of Russia, China, and the entire region of the Middle East & North Africa)

No way fag.
Evan Rogers
I'm a Christian so my stance on the whole thing should be obvious. If I had my way you just wouldn't put gay characters front and center in a kid's show because they're not old enough to understand their own sexuality. Not because of my 'beliefs' but because I genuinely believe there is a thing called brainwashing and they should at least be old enough to understand what's being shown.
There is also a thing called gender roles that we shouldn't be replacing in boys by showing two adult men kissing each other and glamorizing their relationship. Gender roles are very important to me because they shape how society functions so that the ones who are best suited to do certain tasks are not taught to do otherwise for no good reason (sexual preference is not a good reason) and take those tasks away from others. When young boys don't understand their own sexuality yet, it is a very bad idea to do this. They grow into men. Men are the providers in society as a whole and there is emotional pain and a slew of other mental issues that arise when they can't do this.
"This is the parent's job" yadda yadda, I know, I preach this myself, but not every child gets the lessons they need from their parents, because... they don't always have both parents, or any parents.
In SU's case though it's funny, people basically never complained about Pearl liking Rose so much, especially as her own master, but the real reason is two-fold. Not only is Pearl's obsession with Rose not glamorized, but it's part of her flaw as a character to be obsessive, and pretty much everything about female gender roles Pearl adheres to hilariously closely for a lesbian. She's a caregiver. She's submissive. She's even fond of doing Steven's laundry. It's really easy at times to forget she is technically a lesbian. Ruby and Sapphire are really the only big offenders if you really get down to it.

Was not the standard for heterosexuals. A heterosexual man could marry a woman but not a man, same as a gay man. Same rights and limitations. It just didn't align with the romantic preferences of homosexuals, but civilizations haven't institutionalized marriage for the sake of romance.
>The right to adopt children.
Could a two heterosexuals of the same sex adopt children together? Or was adoption limited to specific situations that most homosexuals chose not to put themselves in?
>The right to serve openly in the military
Meaning that they could serve in the military if they wanted to. Military service isn't a right, btw. Even with conscription, militaries set standards for admission that not everyone meets.
>The right to have the same age of consent as heterosexuals
But they do/did. Even in cases where different sex acts have different ages of consent, the relative criteria are the act and the sexes of the people involved, not their orientation. The issue is that homosexuals often choose to do different sex acts than heterosexuals.
>The right to not be discriminated against based on sexual orientation when seeking employment, or obtaining goods/services
In other words, making sexual orientation a "protected class" by which people may not exercise their freedom of association. In a situation where sexual orientation is not a protected class, homosexuals are free to discriminate against heterosexuals on the basis of sexuality, same as the reverse. Do you think that gay bars should have the right to kick out straight people?

The problem is less the character and more Americans. They have a very unhealthy relationship towards sexuality. You add an LGBT character and a bunch of people will blow it out of proportion, some people will use it for an agenda while others will accuse the writer of trying to push an agenda.

Reading this it's pretty apparent you're not likely to reassess your own beliefs, but your argument about brainwashing can easily be applied in the other direction. I'm guessing you feel if gay kids get the sense that only straight relationships are acceptable (because gay people don't exist in their cartoons) then that's societally beneficial and might steer them away from sin or something? Also very curious about gender roles being so important to you, as I'm sure you're aware they've shifted massively over human history and the idea of the discrete roles of the nuclear family unit was not prevalent for all that long (I say was because arguably it isn't now).

There are two answers to this:
The first is that you simply can't, because Yea Forumsv/pol/ will always REEEEE at the slightest hint that a character isn't a straight white cis male. Thin-skinned nancies will always find a reason to be offended, and will construe literally anything into a personal attack on their politics and their way of life.
The second answer is that you write a good character who just happens to be gay or whatever. You don't make their being gay into the focus of their personality or their personal arc any more than you'd make being straight into the focus of a character. That doesn't mean you can't have (for example) an openly gay couple or a gay romance in your show, after all you see straight romance and straight couples in kids' shows all the time, just that it shouldn't be about "hey look at these characters being gay!" If your show doesn't feature romance elements then there's rarely a reason to address sexuality at all, regardless of whether it's straight, gay, or anything else. As long as the characters themselves are well-written and fit the tone of the work as a whole, then there's nothing wrong with having them be gay. Of course, going this way will still piss off plenty of people and will cause Yea Forums to shitpost about it, but those people are retards and not worth listening to anyway.
John Wright

And the fact that these leaders, both white males, look like most figures in position of authority in the real world is not lost on children.
>"I watched 'Paw Patrol' once with my daughter, and on that episode, Skye volunteered for a mission, but then Ryder picked two male pups," said Rebekah Pajak, a mother of a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old in Chicago. Skye is the only female in the core team of six rescue pups on the show. "I remember thinking, 'There's a glass ceiling in this cartoon!' "
>Here's an idea, gratis, for the creative team behind of "Paw Patrol" and "Thomas," should they want to broaden their appeal to parents without alienating their fan base: Ryder and Sir Topham Hatt retire and are replaced by their equally domineering sisters.

Children would still get the satisfaction of immersing themselves in an orderly universe where rules are rules, and everyone is in his or her place. Just without the white guy on top.

That's not racism.
"Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another, which often results in discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity. Today, the use of the term "racism" does not easily fall under a single definition.
The ideology underlying racist practices often includes the idea that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different due to their social behavior and their innate capacities as well as the idea that they can be ranked as inferior or superior."
Ryan Williams
>When tested, infants show a distinct preference for individuals with matching characteristics to themselves and their parent even if said individual isn't someone they know.

I'm assuming that is you, since its the only one that has had the same logic patterns and writing so far, and if it isn't, I don't really give a fuck and I'm still assuming it. Making a declaration to all and then claiming it is not directed to anyone is a fallacy. A declaration to the room is directed to all individually in the room. So yes, walking into the thread and declaring to any gays that might be in the thread that they should hide in shadows and not be shown as a thing that exists is the same as directly telling a Christian they are an idiot.

Dunno, psychological development is a weird process. I'm fairly skeptical about studies involving racial identification anyways, because race isn't exactly a scientifically determinate thing.
Jeremiah Ross
When you are an unhinged identitarian fascist getting what you want means you caved. For example: Vox caved when they fucked all of YouTube this week. Marvel caved when they destroyed comics to push pedohomos (they're all the same) instead of storytelling and collapsed sales.
Change the language until. You win.
Therefore, LGBTQ is now LGBTQS. S stands for straight. We need to be inclusive of the oppressed majority. Plus NPCs go batshit(ER) when you change their language.

>the free speech crowd.
Only in your shitty far left twitter bubble, i know most political youtubers i watch talked about it. Just Tim pol made two whole video on it i think, but its not big news as actual violence is escalating in the world thanks to you people.
AS always is "free speech is only worth it when it helps me" with you fags.
Luis Williams
In real life, I make gay jokes with gay friends constantly. In a comic or cartoon, though, people automatically see a gay character as part of an agenda because the medium is largely for children and has been without gay representation traditionally, anything going against that tradition is met with a "what are you trying to say?!" aggressive level of suspicion that comes with the logic of "you knew a lot of people wouldn't like this but you did it any ways because you have an agenda". People are open to the idea of creative control until there's something they don't like.

This , and make them into normal persons instead of gay stereotype tokens.
And have the amount of gay characters in your show reflect the amount of real gay people you would see in RL.
From what I have read/seen 2-5% of the 1st world population could be classified as genuinely "not hetero", so if you have 30 main/support characters in your show have maybe 1-2 be non-hetero, instead of the insane inflated amount of homos in shows like Steven Universe and other shows.
Austin Phillips
The rationale is as I stated: Anything outside of the traditional is meant to subvert, even when it reflects reality because they see entire mediums as their territory.
Gabriel Howard
Why does it matter what percent of a population exists? Does everyone need to study demographics to write fiction?
Jack Scott
Why is it so hard to believe that that just isn't the norm of California liberals and they'd be censoring themselves if they didn't include the types of characters they wanted?
Justin Torres
It's especially funny when you consider how white males are a global minority, yet they're the vast majority of protagonists. It especially gets funny when movies like The Avengers cover large universal happenings and the most important people involved all happen to be white males in America.
Eli Fisher
You shouldn't ask Yea Forums how to write characters.
Charles Myers
Oh yeah people defending the showing of the episode is clearly hypocritical, while you crying for free speech after censoring everything you don't like isn't.
And you only prove my point by putting that one tweet of a someone who i can only assume is linked to AVGN
Great you found a guy who doesn't like your blatant hypocrisy and is using your tactictis against you. BIG FUCKING DEAL.
Timpool and other still defended the showing but pointed out the hypocrisy of your cryes of censorship.
Easton Morales
They're just there. Some aspect comes up in conversation, like they're going on another date and nobody comments on it as being out of the ordinary. Gays are never given any special recognition or treatment. They can be assholes or even the bad guy. Sexuality is as important a detail to their situation as eye color.
Blake Walker
Categorically false.
Bentley Hill

Only in your deluded head you piece of shit, did you know "foreign" movies exit? did you know there's non american cinema? you keep on harping about how "bad" diversity is in movies made in a white majority country but you have yet to consume Chinese, or indian cinema. Tell how diverse have those movies been? because they are full of people of their receptive ethnic groups.
Go on and write a letter to bollywood asking for then to include south americans if you are actually worried about diversity

Andrew Parker
>complaining about human sexual orientation demographics in a show about alien rock holograms
Holy shit you're illogical. I'm glad you posted this though, as it brings up a good point: To organically introduce gay people, the setting should lend more towards it. Sure, gay cowboys are a thing, but if you're writing 1800s cowboy fiction, it would be jarring if half the cast turned out to be gay and it's supposed to be serious. If your story takes place in a more contemporary liberal college campus, sure, have half your cast have sexual orientations more complicated than just "straight". But these are just what to consider, if there's a cast of 5 and not all of them are straight, there's no reason to apply arbitrary guidelines like "there need to be 29 straight characters if you're going to have another gay character".
Charles King
You're hitting a strawman here. Problem is that this subtle "mere existence of non-heterosexual people" like in RL, is a thing of the past. Today having shows where gays and gay couples are severely inflated in numbers and way into your face is becoming the norm. Introducing a progressive "reality" that isn't reality at all to children *ahem* propaganda.
Children, even 20 years olds, don't have fully developed brains - especially the critical thinking part.
So giving them either a leftist or rightwing worldview (presenting politics to kids) is a bad idea; it's essentially social engineering. Give them.. well.. not politicized kiddie stuff like idk Dexter's laboratory.
David Ward

Isaac Reed
If maybe they do maybe they don't, but Doubt it when starving in the streets is fairly common. And torture by drug cartels is not something you are sure to escape from. Being gay is not something people are hated for, and if you have time to type out how your felling were hurt by a gay joke you have it better than 80% of the population already.
Bentley Walker
Don't.

You're talking about the "Be gay, do crimes!" meme? It's a very interesting position. Nothing says "gay people are normal, too" like clownishly inciting crime.

Just because 2 people consent to canabilism doesn't mean you should normalize consenting cannibalism in children's cartoons user.

Calm your tits. The alien rocks are female lesbians in anything but name, their labeling was a smart move by Sugar to get shit past the censors. And there are other examples than SU, Korracomics comes to mind.
The 2-5% was just a guildeline, sure if a creator want one of the main characters to be gay then sure go ahead, just don't make the society look like every third person is gay.
Forced over-saturated LGBT stuff like in SU makes for a bad show in the end. Same way overly religious and patriotic movies are garbage.
Because the forced political views take important room from the plot and makes it obvious that the art isn't genuinely creative or authentic. Even kids sense that and dropped SU after season 1AB and 2 (at least the numbers felt drastically and they were forced to make "stevenbombs" to inflate the viewer numbers".

>But you are trying to put words in my mouth and ignore the examples you were given.
That's exactly what you're doing to me, user. You entered in this telling me my hypocrisy and my tactics without even asking.
OAG isn't AVGN, I never said it was.
>Outlining a random nobody who is for censorship on the other side does not help your argument hat actual regular people who are NOT for censorship are fine with this.
Right, actual regular people. "Free speech" was hardly the issue in the Yea Forums threads or anywhere else, but as you're displaying, there is this kneejerk animosity towards anyone suspected to be liberal with a critique that doesn't exist for liberal things being censored or when conservatives censor, like Proud Boys marching to protect free speech and then celebrating the silencing of a political opponent who was murdered in Japan or a conservative politician wanting to censor The Walking Dead. With a lot of people it isn't just about free speech, but fighting a culture war.
Aiden Richardson

This is more of a problem with your perception than anything else.
Nathan Cooper
No, heterosexual relationship culminate in offspring, no romance beside that is important or needed.
A romance that does not end in a genetic offspring of the two parties is hedonistic and pointless.
Infertility in this scenario is a tragedy that's just a part of life but still makes a person as useless as all the cumulative humans in history who never had children and were a genetic waste in the longrun.
Austin Johnson

Henry Lewis
You're repeating yourself because you don't have anything but your suspicions to back up what makes SU "forced".
Carson Kelly
That's pretty much telling at that point. You mean you want creators to be mute on the subject while the characters show and talk about it? But just not talk openly about it? Sexuality is a common topic even in the workplace.
>i also think sexuality shouldnt be in kids cartoons
A big part of Peanuts and Charlie Brown was crushes between the kids. Is that bad to you?
Dylan Richardson
>"Free speech" was hardly the issue in the Yea Forums threads or anywhere else
it wasn't until people started censoring those who disagree with them. And I'm not talking about the far right types like the proud boys.
You pointing to them and making it seems like the free speech movement is represented by them would be akin to me calling you a filthy commie and putting the the death of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in your hands.
I'm talking about regulars comic book artists like Richard C. Meyer being fucked with by far left lunatics.
I'm talking about sexy game being pulled out of steam for gods know what reason. While games full on sex scenes with minors are allowed to stay if they have the right ideology.
I'm talking about marvel comic putting shitty witter after shitty writes in charge of their comics just because they have the "right positioning regarding political issues"
I'm talking about my hobbies being destroyed by people who are now crying for free speech
So forgive me for having "kneejerk animosity" towards anyone who has those viewpoints.
I just wanted to have my hobbies left in peace.

Brandon Thomas
SU was supposedly a growing up story about a half-alien kid living a "normal" human life, but who also was forced into a life of warfare against a malevolent galactic empire.
How important are random townies sexuality, Gems having their period/sad about their lesboships and fusion (sex/sexuality) to tell this story?
If it is not important to the plot at all and political shit that the creators want to add (yes LGBT is political ffs), then it is forced into the stories.
This is your last (you)
Cameron Kelly
>A big part of Peanuts and Charlie Brown was crushes between the kids. Is that bad to you?
no, having a crush or something is fine, but when you show a character imagining kissing another character or something its a bit much, unless its played for laughs
Jonathan Long
>So you're treating gays as a hivemind
It's liberals that treat them as a hivemind. Them alongside with women, blacks, immigrants, Muslims, etc. It's why they coined such terms as "queer" and "PoC", in order to lump them all in one sack and pretend that they are all of the same mind and politics.
Cooper Morris
First they came for the fascists, and I did not speak out because I was not a fascist.

Indeed comrade!
Those millions of Russian peasants (babies and toddlers included), who didn't believe in our ideal society were fascists and deserving of death.
The polish minority in the Soviet Union also deserved genocide and torture for being Polish since Poland was fascist.
Not him, but you're the faggots who come up with terms like intersectionality.
Ryan Mitchell
No that guy, but none of the were townies are explicitly homosexual IIRC.
Pearl was the closest commandant to PD, and she arguably created her Rose persona, nudging her towards rebellion and eventually falling in love with it.
Ruby and Sapphire's relationship was to show that it's one of the taboos on Homeworld and to be a catalyst for PD/Rose to decide to fight not only for Earth's but also for free gems.
It kinda seems that the relationships do have plot importance in the show.
Brandon Lopez
>>"I watched 'Paw Patrol' once with my daughter, and on that episode, Skye volunteered for a mission, but then Ryder picked two male pups," said Rebekah Pajak, a mother of a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old in Chicago. Skye is the only female in the core team of six rescue pups on the show. "I remember thinking, 'There's a glass ceiling in this cartoon!' "
I have a 3 year old, so I know more about this awful show than any adult should. Every dog has a specialty. Construction, water, rescue, etc... the girl dog is a pilot. If the boy didn't pick her, then it probably wasn't an aerial mission.
Now picture if he had. Say, maybe, the mission involved heavy lifting or putting out a fire, not flying. But because she was a girl, he HAD to pick her and that would unduly put people at risk. A fucking cartoon for babies gets why this is a dumb idea, but the military and fire departments aren't allowed to notice things - places where real lives are on the line? And this cum golem spewing gape of a cunt is angry about little pink cartoon dogs not being Rin Tin Tin or White Fang.

I really like to recommend this book. It's about a gay teen who's the son of Not-Batman and Not-Mrs. Fantastic. He's trying to hide two things from his dad: that he's gay and, worse, he has superpowers. At no time does the kid act like a lispy effeminate queer. In fact, he's trying out for a spot on a super team and doing vigilante work on the side. And, surprisingly, it actually has a really solid action plot where both he and his dad have to step up to stop Not-Martain Manhunter who just can't stand this planet or its people anymore.
Henry Morgan
>You pointing to them and making it seems like the free speech movement is represented by them would be akin to me calling you a filthy commie and putting the the death of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in your hands.
The "free speech movement" isn't organizing against Bevin and didn't say a word when the whitehouse put together anti-video game propaganda. But it seems like you're concerned with the SJW gaze pointing out what's problematic which makes comics self cenor... better tell the SJWs to self censor? But yeah, you didn't call me a filthy commie, you called me some specific form of censor with "tactics".
>While games full on sex scenes with minors are allowed to stay if they have the right ideology.
What game was that? Pretty sure I would have heard of this on Yea Forums.

Adrian Jenkins
>none of the were townies are explicitly homosexual
The black guy who owned the park (mr. smiley or what was his name again?) had a sad gay
episode. That episode was not funny and not important to the main plot at all. Dunno how "explicit" it was, but the intention was obvious.
I haven't watched much beyond the cluster and skimmed through townie crap, but there were many hamfisted progressive talking points and stuff like Steven's uncle being a prejudiced Trump supporter who should "get on with the timez". None of this is interesting for children, only landwhales on Tumblr, which is why lazy garbage like TTG ended up performing much better in viewer numbers - because it was for children and not 20 year old females/gays.
I can concede ground to the fact that not all of it felt forced and some of it was weaved nicely into the story, but this doesn't mean that many progressive diktats and LGBT-pandering weren't repeated ad nauseam.
Zachary Sullivan
Anita didn't call for censorship and actually spoke against it a year ago or so. In 2013, when she started making videos she even said that video games won't turn you into a raging misogynist. By that logic, you're calling for her censorship and the censorship of anyone offering critique.
I'm also not seeing anything regarding a sex scene in TLoU2.
Juan Moore
IMO the entertainment factor from the episode about the uncle was less about him being a trump supporter, more about him being Carl from ATHF.
Cooper Stewart
>The "free speech movement" isn't organizing against Bevin and didn't say a word when the whitehouse put together anti-video game propaganda. But it seems like you're concerned with the SJW gaze pointing out what's problematic which makes comics self censor
It's almost like there sin't a movement at all and only individual focusing on what they consider important.
Again, people spoke you against bevin, people lambasted trump when he spoke all of that bullshit.
Fuckign neocon ben shapiro spoke against violence censorship in video games when that bullshit came out. Not to mention all the other " free speech personalities" who are not "conservative".
>What game was that? Pretty sure I would have heard of this on Yea Forums.
Life is strange. It wasn't full out porn scene but neither were the ones in the Japanese games, many if which didn't even have any erotic content before you decide to install an off platform patch.
>The gays?
No the "progressives" and you are talking to more than one person mate.
Nathan Young
Mr. Smiley had a gay episode? The one with his comedy partner wasn't about them being gay.

You're looking for points of contention because you hate tumblr landwhales.
Ian Harris
1. You say "So you're treating gays as a hivemind"
2. He engaged in whataboutism
3. you called out with ""no u" lol"

5. Hence his whataboutism is justified, because you just admitted to your double standards making what you said in 1. moot.

You mean Life is Strange 2? If fades to black and it opens up with awkward shame and apologies for the bad sex. It sounds like Steam is sensitive to the tone of these scenes which would make sense. What besides Rape Simulator got censored?
And yeah that makes sense. The guy who liked to laugh at the "LGBT community" as if they're the censors was off base.

Robert Turner

Nathaniel Peterson
From what I've read, that isn't as much censorship as it is creating an initiative to crack down on what was already supposed to be cracked down on. No, it's not "he hurt my fee fees online, lock him up" it's "he's threatened to rape and kill me, please take this seriously". But yes, police police prioritize threats of violence like this because the victim isn't in any immediate danger and investigating takes a lot of paper work when it's something over the internet. For example, a coworker of mine was receiving death threats on a nightly basis from multiple sources due to a family money dispute. The cops said it would take a few weeks to process and intervene, despite them saying she's going to die "real soon" and she was being watched to the point that they let her notice they noticed she put up a security camera. Now that was with showing cops the texts she had been receiving. Online harrassment and threats of violence is at an even lower priority and comes with even more red tape, as it should, but the system should probably be checked to see if there isn't a better way to help people being threatened. Most of it should be dismissed as trolling, but the serious instances shouldn't be roped in with the rest.

It's still underage sex and IN THE GAME, not on an off site patch. There were severa but I can't remember many of the top of my head but this comes to mind

-I- have the time to think about because I'm not living in Africa or some other Brazil.

This was about "the free speech crowd" initially, no specific movement. Of course not all free supporters are hypocrites.
And it's sex in a fade to black scene where the tone isn't attractive and it's actually funny in a sad way. Looking at images of Mutiny!! I can see how they saw the sexual overtones are more explicit and softcore, but yeah nothing that should raise alarms. I'm glad they're getting their shit together.

>Being hated without action is not damaging.
No one doesn't take action. Voting, not voting are actions. Perpetuating hate is an action that leads to larger actions.
Robert Cook
Who said there's no action? You think gaybashing needs some extraordinary energy?
>make gays more victimized than regular people
I don't need to do any "mental gymnastics", heteros have been victimising homos for literally millenia, this is what homophobia is.

Its not hard, just make them a normal part of the show, they become normal. When you spotlight that one part of them and no other part, they just become known for that one part of them.

>Yeah, there's no difference between the gay and straight experience.
The modern concept of gay makes as much sense in a biblical lens as "I identify as a rapist and I demand rapist equal rights" given how for much of history it was just an action. It only became identity extremely recently.

>heteros have been victimising homos for literally millenia
No, people have been chastising an obscene act of free will for millenia. Fuck this identity shit. Should shoplifters consider their pilfering intrinsic to their very identity and being?
