    Your attempt to twist what I said into some attack on me is part of the problem. There’s no doubt that there are times during our recent history where media bandwagons onto civil rights movements just to pander to the audience. That’s annoying and is actually part of the problem. I’m sure you can understand that.

    Think about businesses using pride month for profit. Some thing.

    This doesn’t mean don’t put LGBTQ+ themes in media. Relax.

      Again, If it annoys you ignore it. My previous statement was a conditional. IF you think this way THEN yes Im calling you stupid. There is so much classic and alternative media that have not been taken over by corporations. Complaining that the for profit companies are making profitable buisness decisions… what else is new? Are you such a slave to the corps that you cant find anything else to read, watch or play?

      I never said that you are opposed to progressive media, im just calling you media illiterate. Seeing as you misinterpreted my entire comment… I wasnt far off.

        That’s such a huge jump. Because I’m bothered by something I’m media illiterate? You wanna have a point so bad. It’s yours. Live it up.

          “media litteracy” is becoming a problem and popular media is following the trend. They appeal to the uneducated, the media itself is calling you too stupid to read between the lines. There have always been gay characters in media, and If they wrote a better character youd know they were gay without It being so in your face about it. So yes its annoying. Youd hate a villian saying “Im the bad guy” all the same. which is the problem. They are litterally doing that not just with lgbtq stuff

          my original comment was only meant to offend you IF you cant see the flaw in your reasoning, and want to continue being upset about gay and diverse shit in media.

          If youre still lost, Idk man, I tried. I did call you stupid though Ill apologize for that, sincerely.

          Edit: added what is in Itallics
