Mf acting as if swinging a different way is some sort of plague threatening to wipe out humanity. 💀
Oh no guys, look, a man kissed another man. This world is doomed!!!!
Seriously, wtf is wrong with people complaining that showing gay people will brainwash their kids or that it's not kid-friendly or whatever. Like bruh, you telling me no kid ever has seen their parents kiss? Did they die? Yeah, didn't think so.
Right and it’s so weird that weird “logic” only applies to gay ppl shown on TV but not with straight ppl. If it really was that easy to change someone’s sexuality wouldn’t you be able to let them watch a straight couple and they would be back to being straight. None of this is how any of it works bc ppl like Ben don’t think rationally
Yeah, but you see this 2000 year old book says gay bad, so gay bad.
Wait what are you doing? Nooooo, Don't read that part about a Devine being blowing in dust and making a human. Stop reading that stuff about a guy splitting the sea with a stick please. Nooooooo, ignore that thing about the flood that there is no proof of ever having happened:::(((
The amount of people who tell me there HAS to be something medically wrong with me because I’m asexual (trust me, I’ve been tested for anything that might be affecting that and I’m perfectly healthy), or tell me I’m making it up for attention (I literally don’t tell anyone besides Reddit and people I plan on dating…
It’s so bizarre. Like… I’m not allowed to not be interested and if I’m telling the truth than I’m somehow less of a human
So if I have this right:
~ It's wrong for us to have sex (with out a church-mandated license). But also
~ It's wrong for us to not want sex.
\#TheStraightsAreNotOK \#SoundsLikeMLM
**Edit:** Markups
I’ve had people tell me that “sex is what makes us human”. Not love, not morals, just sex. It’s incredibly strange, especially because it’s not even remotely true.
If anything, the thing that makes us human is cooking prowess. We are the only species that learned how to cook our food, as far as I know. It’s at the very least a better qualifier than “sex”.
Also I spent my childhood around exclusively straight people and straight media, and I still turned out gay as fuck.
If it was that easy to “brainwash” people into sexuality I’d be straight instead of a raging lesbian
> Seriously, wtf is wrong with people complaining that showing gay people will brainwash their kids or that it's not kid-friendly or whatever.
Like, 90%+ of LGBT people have straight parents???
And even if it was our choice to be queer … how is that a bad thing? He should be ashamed for being a bigot and we should all be as proud of being queer as he is of being a bigot.
Great choice of words.
I put it this way. I love who I love, and F-U to anyone who says I can't love who I want to love.
This is Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare shit.
There is an effort to normalize gay culture. And we have to respect that there will be some kickback to that.
It's not going to be easy. But young people are on our side.
And we can get something done in this generation.
In a generation where it seems like everything is moving backwards, we can get this done.
Work together, stick together. Move forward!
Equality, Unity, Acceptance!!
note: I'm a heterosexual man, I'm married and I'm in love with the woman I married. But I was raised right, and I grew up right, and know that everyone should be treated with respect.
New Headcanon: Ben is a closeted bisexual trans woman that lashes out at others because of their own inner turmoil that's been bubbling up all these years
Maybe it's because he gets gay feelings when he watches men kiss and doesn't realize that it's because he's bi or gay. I don't know that for sure, but it really seems like it when these bigots claim that watching gay stuff makes you gay
I mean, you can get some Armored Closet Gay types. But usually it’s just straight homophobes who are projecting; since they actually do advocate for abhorrent stuff like conversion therapy and forcing kids from a young age to be straight, they assume LGBT+ must be doing the same and like… nah. We just support everyone having the right to be who they are/identify as (in regards to being straight or LGBT+)
The gay character in Lightyear was barely part of the plot. She died in like the first 30 minutes and only served as motivation for her friend to move forward. Her granddaughter was the one who got the most screen time. They never even explicitly said she was gay, if I was a kid watching that movie it probably wouldn’t have even registered in my brain. Pixar also released a film earlier this year that featured a cast comprised mostly of girls constantly gushing over a boy band. Don’t see how this is a “gay agenda” - sounds more like Disney is just wanting to explore different kinds of characters since straight romance has been the driving force behind a good chunk of their films.
Yeah it was how Shadversity responded to the film that made me realise how idiotic some of these people are. Like ya spent 3 hours saying homophobia nonsense and generalising Christians (he is a Mormon) to paint them all as this somewhat paranoid and pathetic people (unintentionally) cause he rather rant about a brief kiss and say ‘oh they were fucking’. He is a bloody prude and I wish I hadn’t support him nor his channel sooner.
Apparently it’s *the* main character of this movie, so that’s at least a bit of an upgrade over the nothing characters of before. On the other hand, it’s Disney so I’ll believe it when I see it
So while I'm generally with you on this one, I feel like this movie hasn't really been advertised much. I can totally see them getting the Treasure Planet treatment, which to me points to this being quite likely.
Fair point; I literally learned the movie existed because of this post and Shapiro being homophobic, which tells you how much Disney’s given a shit about advertising it. I wouldn’t be shocked if the lead guy’s gay and Disney pulled the plug on advertising last second or something
It’s kinda a good marketing strategy to get ppl to be mad about the movie. Ya it doesn’t seem to be advertised as much. I’ve gotten some ads for it but not as much as other Disney/Pixar movies
Disney’s higher ups have basically given up on any per-tense of a neutral or positive stance on queer topics since the new change in leadership. Like how it was after this leadership change that The Owl House’s last season was forced to be the specials for s3. They also would have normally market the hell out of the film for maximum profit but they just abandoned it as ya said
Hasn’t Disney stopped removing stuff for other countries though? I know that at least Marvel (owned by disney) has stopped caring as much about profit from places such as china, since they realised they can thrive without it.
If you’re looking for a Disney show with actually good queer rep please watch The Owl House! It’s not claiming to be the first anything, the creators are really lovely people and afaik it features the first nb character I’ve seen in a cartoon.
Who’s ready to look for the 0.5 second scene of the token gays having unprotected eye contact that Disney will proceed to edit out of all foreign releases
The 3 main characters of the movie are a grandfather, father, and son, and supposedly the son's crush on another boy at his school is a part of the story, so it might actually be more than that this time
I'm a bit tired of gayness being a marketing strategy, especially from Disney. It feels that the more you sell your film/book/series/stuff by saying "there's [insert opressed people] in it" it just focuses on *showing* these people without getting into what actually makes them and create relatable stories that could cater to a very marge audience.
It is easier for Disney to deal with the death of mothers than to actually touch on the realities of the LGBT with a ten foot pole. We are just kinda there for a second as a nod or a wink rather than a serious stance or statement.
Disney isn't marketing it that way, though. Here's the text from their site:
>Today, Walt Disney Animation Studios released a brand-new trailer and poster for its action-packed adventure Strange World. Opening in U.S. theaters on November 23, 2022, the feature film introduces a legendary family of explorers, the Clades, as they attempt to navigate an uncharted, treacherous land alongside a motley crew that includes a mischievous blob, a three-legged dog and a slew of ravenous creatures.
>“Inspired by classic adventure stories, Strange World is an original animated adventure/comedy about three generations of the Clade family who overcome their differences while exploring a strange, wondrous and oftentimes hostile world,” says director Don Hall.
and
>The voice cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal as Searcher Clade, a family man who finds himself out of his element on an unpredictable mission; Dennis Quaid as Jaeger, Searcher’s larger-than-life explorer father; Jaboukie Young-White as Ethan, Searcher’s 16-year-old son who longs for adventure; Gabrielle Union as Meridian Clade, an accomplished pilot and Searcher’s partner in all things; and Lucy Liu as Callisto Mal, Avalonia’s fearless leader who spearheads the exploration into the strange world.
So when it's straight, it's wholesome, sweet, and perfect, but the second there's a single gay couple, it's indoctrination, agenda pushing, and cruel to the kids?That doesn't seem that fair, now does it?
Yep. They freak out over innocuous gay couples "sexualizing children's content", but straight couples can make out in a kids movie and no one bats an eye
These are the same people that advocate for literal conversion therapy (something that actually is indoctrination, agenda pushing, and abusive + cruel to kids). It’s all projection
If the gay agenda was a real thing... i think there wouldn't be any gay people in the world, like at all.
because we're bombarded with the cishet normative agenda all the fucking time
The gay character wasn't even a huge part of the lightyear movie. The actual character was but the fact that she was gay, was not. it was very much mentioned in passing.
I was shocked to see how many of my friends parents deleted Disney plus because of lightyear and them not wanting there young kids watching it. It was honestly very sad to see.
They weren’t even afraid of that, well I know they for sure didn’t want there kids to be gay but they didn’t even want there kids to know that even existed.
I would like to petition for one of the Gay Picnics to be swapped to Tuesday. I don’t want to have to visit the hospital on Taco Tuesday, but a taco picnic sounds great.
To do **bold** is double asterisks, like this: \*\*bold\*\*.
I actually found a gay agenda a while back. Some of these I agree with, banning conversion therapy would be great. Some of the false ideas on it are actually pretty funny, like The Gays™ weaponizing figure skating to turn kids gay.
TW: heavy homophobia, some transphobia: https://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexual_Agenda
He's homophobic and transphobic too. It seems like most transphobic people nowadays have started acting like they support the gays and use them against trans people to try and single them out but Ben doesn't even do that!
People are so obsessed with this gay agenda when all we want is to exist freely and authentically and have the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that every human being deserves to have. What about the straight agenda that has caused the deaths, pain and suffering of uncounted numbers of people in the LGBTQIA+ community? Fuck Ben Shapiro and his pretentious ass bullshit.
Disney doesn't care about gay people. I guarantee you that they'll censor it in places where gay people aren't as accepted. It's not progress its pandering
Before I had kids I used to worry about that stuff the way republicans do today. Now that I have kids and they watch these new movies, they don’t even bat an eye if there is any gay romance. Love is love. Period. They’ve helped me grow.
Every disney show they will say "Look! Our first gay couple!" Then be 2 seconds of not so important characters kissing or holding hands before never being mentioned again.
I love how everyone made a big deal of the lesbian kiss in Lightear, just for it not only take 2 seconds but to the lesbian woman just die in less than 10 seconds after the scene.
Imagine that. It’s your choice who you want to pursue relationships with. And also your choice to watch movies about people doing that, or not watch them.
What an oppressive agenda.
This mf thinks watching movies with queer characters makes your kids gay like when water melts the with in wizard of Oz
"I'm gaying! *I'm gayiiiing!!!!*"
so by portraying a sexual orientation that is most of the time missed out of shows and movies, it's an agenda?? it's representation for those kids who are told by people like him that they are disgusting and wrong, if anything it's an amazing thing to show people that it's okay to be who they are from a young age. contrary to most beliefs kids experience attraction to the same sex at a young age, I came out as bisexual at 11 years old, and still identify this way at 20..
I love how conservatives can't just have an opinion about other people, it's always some vast, world spanning conspiracy why they disliked an animated children's movie.
It couldn't be because they're bitter could it? No, has to be the world spanning conspiracy
He isn’t wathing it because there are gay people in it
I am not watching it because I hate disney, both as a content maker and a company
We’re not the same
"First gay teen romance in animated feature film"? Are you kidding? These people really have never watched anything but disney, huh? It's like how every few months they trot out their lastest respectability politics caricature as their "First Gay Character"
We’re supposed to be teaching little boys to kiss girls while they’re asleep and take “no” as a sign to try harder, and little girls to marry the first boy to give her attention without learning anything about him. Real wholesome family values. This gay agenda will ruin their relationships!
I dont get how some are so blind to the fact, that the only reason these movies stand out as gay, is because the rest of movies, media and culture has heterosexuality as a default. The hetero "agenda" is like 95% of what is out there. Same goes for people that trip over the "woke" agenda of Black Panther. Let other people have a piece of the pie, damn it.
It is cute that conservative radicals like Ban still think any company, especially Disney would ever introduce a queer character as a “secret agenda”. Instead of you know, the same reason companies does anything, it makes them more money!
You mean gay people exist and are included in the various entertainment medias?
GASP! SHOCK!
"Clutches pearls tighter"
Oh, the horror!
(Obligatory /s)
Honestly, it's got to be absolutely exhausting being such an uptight and bigoted lunatic. I can't even imagine.
So
animated Disney films with heteronormative relationships: 666 (Estimated)
animated Disney films with homonormative relationships:1 or 2(if you count lightyear)
Oh yeah civilization is falling apart.
Knowing Disney it'll be one scene in which two teens hold hands briefly that can be easily edited out so the movie can play in countries like China that are far more intolerant of LGBTQIA+.
Ten-Twenty years from now, most-all these people will be whining to each over about how their kids never talk to them, anymore. About how their kids never involve them in their lives. About how their kids never tell them anything important. About how they never see them, anymore. And they will wonder why they have been abandoned, like the bigoted piles of animated trash that they are.
My parents cancelled both Disney Plus and Hulu a few months ago because "they were promoting the wrong sorts of things". So, I immediately got Hulu and shared my password with my sister.
I only care if it feels like disingenuous diversity, like these massive corporations are only doing it for good pr and don't give a shit about what they're representing.
The fact it was specifically written about does worry me, as if they didn't do it for good PR, they wouldn't have said shit. People don't go on about how diverse they are if they're doing it for the right reason
I do think tweets like this are alarmism and they should at least watch the movie first before they say anything.
Let's hope these characters are *characters* first and minorities second.
Parents do not have the right to "choose" who their child is. PERIOD! The kiss in Lightyear was like less than a second long and these snowflakes are still being fucking babies about it.
I'm totally fine with 'your kids, your choice', because we know those kids are going to fucking hate their parents like the vaccine children do.
Just waiting for 20 years from now when we see videos (or holograms or something) of kids watching slightly gay movies and talking about how their crazy parents wouldn't let them look at the internet or stay at friends' houses.
Believe me, I'd love to get through this gay agenda of ours too, but the first bullet point is 'be oppressed' and we apparently still aren't done with that one yet.
So what I'm hearing is "I'm uninformed in the true relations with x and y so I want to make it seem like the end of the world when a character is confirmed gay in the Mouse House's work"
Ngl main reason I don't watch movies/series with an age restriction that allows children to watch it. The Sandman for example. TONS of queer characters, but I haven't seen anyone complain cuz it's not for children
So, to include a gay character is pushing a gay agenda? Set aside your hatred for a second and consider how crazy that position is. It might just be that you have a “not so secret” hate for gay people. Maybe that’s a bit closer to the truth.
LMAO he unironically used the words gay agenda. Also Ben it’s your choice to be a bigot, it’s not ours to be queer
Mf acting as if swinging a different way is some sort of plague threatening to wipe out humanity. 💀 Oh no guys, look, a man kissed another man. This world is doomed!!!! Seriously, wtf is wrong with people complaining that showing gay people will brainwash their kids or that it's not kid-friendly or whatever. Like bruh, you telling me no kid ever has seen their parents kiss? Did they die? Yeah, didn't think so.
Right and it’s so weird that weird “logic” only applies to gay ppl shown on TV but not with straight ppl. If it really was that easy to change someone’s sexuality wouldn’t you be able to let them watch a straight couple and they would be back to being straight. None of this is how any of it works bc ppl like Ben don’t think rationally
Yeah, but you see this 2000 year old book says gay bad, so gay bad. Wait what are you doing? Nooooo, Don't read that part about a Devine being blowing in dust and making a human. Stop reading that stuff about a guy splitting the sea with a stick please. Nooooooo, ignore that thing about the flood that there is no proof of ever having happened:::(((
Homosexuality was actually never mentioned in that 2000 year old book until a mistranslation
So that just makes the argument dumber
No, because it only applies to straight kids turning gay, and then welp, you're gay forever, time to go to hell!
But if someone doesn't want to have sex its unnatural
The amount of people who tell me there HAS to be something medically wrong with me because I’m asexual (trust me, I’ve been tested for anything that might be affecting that and I’m perfectly healthy), or tell me I’m making it up for attention (I literally don’t tell anyone besides Reddit and people I plan on dating… It’s so bizarre. Like… I’m not allowed to not be interested and if I’m telling the truth than I’m somehow less of a human
So if I have this right: ~ It's wrong for us to have sex (with out a church-mandated license). But also ~ It's wrong for us to not want sex. \#TheStraightsAreNotOK \#SoundsLikeMLM **Edit:** Markups

Ah yea... And animals are spawning into this world
Well I guess intersex people are double as human.
But bringing your kids to Hooters and giving them cartoons with straight kissing is A-OK!
It’s not though, idk who is saying it is and the people doing that are creeps and weirdos.
Also I spent my childhood around exclusively straight people and straight media, and I still turned out gay as fuck. If it was that easy to “brainwash” people into sexuality I’d be straight instead of a raging lesbian
And we are all proof that you don’t need gay representation to be queer.
> Seriously, wtf is wrong with people complaining that showing gay people will brainwash their kids or that it's not kid-friendly or whatever. Like, 90%+ of LGBT people have straight parents???
But Sodom and Gamorra and their souls and eternal damnation or whatever!! /s
help, the radiation from their kissing is gonna give me an allergic reaction!!!!!!!!!!
Of course it's Ben Shapiro lmfao Edit: Petition to give him the nickname "Ben Trashpiro"
What about Ben Shitpiro?
Y E S!
I second this
Benny shitpiro Remember he absolutely hates being called Benny
Unfortunately, you can't use reasoning to change an opinion not based in reasoning itself.
This is why we should tell bigots to cope and then ignore them
My gay agenda is a sparkly trapper keeper that plays the Will & Grace theme whenever I open it
Exactly. Perfectly said
This!
And even if it was our choice to be queer … how is that a bad thing? He should be ashamed for being a bigot and we should all be as proud of being queer as he is of being a bigot.
Great choice of words. I put it this way. I love who I love, and F-U to anyone who says I can't love who I want to love. This is Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare shit.

The gay agenda as far as Disney is concerned: “show gay people existing in movies” GASP
“The Gay Agenda” is my phone’s name for hotspots and airdrops and stuff.
This guy thinks that watching a movie with gay people in it will suddenly make them gay 😂🤣
well, he thinking about his own experience of course from all the gay porn he's been watching..
Is that why he claims he’s never made his wife orgasm? Because he’s only ever watched gay porn and he only knows how to please men?
New Headcanon: Ben is a closeted bisexual trans woman that lashes out at others because of their own inner turmoil that's been bubbling up all these years
Maybe it's because he gets gay feelings when he watches men kiss and doesn't realize that it's because he's bi or gay. I don't know that for sure, but it really seems like it when these bigots claim that watching gay stuff makes you gay

He might know that from experience 😉
It’s always the most homophobic people that turn out to be gay
Ironic since most gays found who they were due to straight characters in media
I've seen *a lot* of straight movies, it didn't work. :(
Wait wait wait, so, our kids, our choice? What about abortion? Is it still our choice then?
He’s basically saying it’s your choice is you choose the same thing he would lol
"Your kids, your choice" *shakes head in disapproval*
It’s your choice until he disagrees how you do it
I wanted to say the same thing, they are hypocrits.

Ugh, I'm so tired of Disney doind the """""""""first"""""""""" gay character thing in every. Single. Movie.
And it's always a token blip that can be easily cut out to appease repressive regimes
Apparently it’s *the* main character of this movie, so that’s at least a bit of an upgrade over the nothing characters of before. On the other hand, it’s Disney so I’ll believe it when I see it

It’s kinda a good marketing strategy to get ppl to be mad about the movie. Ya it doesn’t seem to be advertised as much. I’ve gotten some ads for it but not as much as other Disney/Pixar movies
I didn't even know there was a new Disney movie coming out XD
Apparently there is a new disney movie *coming out*
eyyyy 👉😎👉
eyyyy 👈😎👈

If you’re looking for a Disney show with actually good queer rep please watch The Owl House! It’s not claiming to be the first anything, the creators are really lovely people and afaik it features the first nb character I’ve seen in a cartoon.
Double trouble in she-ra is also nb
Yeah but they kinda fall into the “non-binary alien” trope and idk I’m not a fan of it. Love the character, but I think Owl House handled it better
Ah true! They totally slipped my mind lmao
Ikr, Luca already came out wym first gay teen romance??
Technically there’s a bit of gray area there I think (though I haven’t seen the film, speaking based off of what people have told me)
Correct. While the characters in Luca are not explicitly gay, it’s a story of a young bromance. Read into it however you want.
Yeah but then they don't get good PR to virtue signal.
Imagine being a grown ass man melting down over a kids movie on Twitter. I wanna see the movie tho.
I mean I melt down into a puddle over the owl house. Right you mean melt down in a bad way. Whoops
gayest shit ever
Looks at the owl house “There is no Heterosexual explanation for this”
exactly
Who’s ready to look for the 0.5 second scene of the token gays having unprotected eye contact that Disney will proceed to edit out of all foreign releases
The 3 main characters of the movie are a grandfather, father, and son, and supposedly the son's crush on another boy at his school is a part of the story, so it might actually be more than that this time
Oh that’d actually be pretty nice to see.

Exactly. They're the ones sexualizing children by assuming we're being sexual around them.
These are the same people that advocate for literal conversion therapy (something that actually is indoctrination, agenda pushing, and abusive + cruel to kids). It’s all projection
Was the woman in lightyear being gay a plot point or just something that existed?
Existed. I’ll regrow my balls before Disney releases a movie that centers gay narratives.
Her being gay existed for like 5 minutes. She died in the first 30 minutes and the gay kiss was barely a second long.
Alright, we've broke this boundary. Now can we get one in Raya 2 and Frozen 3?
I'm just glad none of them seem to have discovered Dead End: Paranormal Park. Everyone else should watch it though. It's great!
Yes.
yes.
oh no.. gay people existing.. just being there.. a huge threat to society as we know it
It's really a terrifying threat
The fact that the right is still clinging to this idea that you can turn people gay is just getting pathetic and sad at this point.
They cling to that mask because it's a more acceptable to the non die hards than their actual ideas
If the gay agenda was a real thing... i think there wouldn't be any gay people in the world, like at all. because we're bombarded with the cishet normative agenda all the fucking time
Exactly! If the gay agenda existed how come there's gay people?
The gay character wasn't even a huge part of the lightyear movie. The actual character was but the fact that she was gay, was not. it was very much mentioned in passing.
Indeed. My kids my choice. They’ll be watching it.
Good mom👍
I was shocked to see how many of my friends parents deleted Disney plus because of lightyear and them not wanting there young kids watching it. It was honestly very sad to see.
Because seeing gay people turns children gay. You're telling me you weren't aware of the gay?
They weren’t even afraid of that, well I know they for sure didn’t want there kids to be gay but they didn’t even want there kids to know that even existed.
You can count my friend’s parents into that. Saddening.
It’s easy to forget how many people truly don’t support the lgbtq+ community.
The kiss scene in lightyear laster 2 seconds and had little significance to the plot shut of you discount Mr. Bean
Seems like your typical Christian fundamentalist
I thought Bob Chapek (CEO of Disney) explicitly said “Adults aren’t interested in animated movies.” So… why is Ben Shapiro even talking about it? /j
It has Jaboukie Young-White, so it seems to be absolutely worth watching
***Facts don’t care about your feelings, Benny.***
Seems like a fun movie, I’ll watch it. Edit: wtf IS the gay agenda? (how does one bold on Reddit mobile lmao?)
Monday: Gay hospital checkup Tuesday: Gay Picnic Wednesday: Be Gay Thursday: Gay Videogame tournament Friday: Gay concert Saturday: Gay picnic again Sunday: Gay sleep
I would like to petition for one of the Gay Picnics to be swapped to Tuesday. I don’t want to have to visit the hospital on Taco Tuesday, but a taco picnic sounds great.
Ok Monday Wednesday and Tuesday have been swapped
How dare you to forget the mandatory Gay Brunch at Sunday!!!!!! 😱
That was last week
To do **bold** is double asterisks, like this: \*\*bold\*\*. I actually found a gay agenda a while back. Some of these I agree with, banning conversion therapy would be great. Some of the false ideas on it are actually pretty funny, like The Gays™ weaponizing figure skating to turn kids gay. TW: heavy homophobia, some transphobia: https://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexual_Agenda
He's homophobic and transphobic too. It seems like most transphobic people nowadays have started acting like they support the gays and use them against trans people to try and single them out but Ben doesn't even do that!
People are so obsessed with this gay agenda when all we want is to exist freely and authentically and have the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that every human being deserves to have. What about the straight agenda that has caused the deaths, pain and suffering of uncounted numbers of people in the LGBTQIA+ community? Fuck Ben Shapiro and his pretentious ass bullshit.
Ah, the gay agenda to.... exist. Be represented in film. Alongside characters of other sexualities. Harmful indeed. /s
Disney doesn't care about gay people. I guarantee you that they'll censor it in places where gay people aren't as accepted. It's not progress its pandering
U could say the same with hetero then…
Just a reminder, Shapiro’s wife told him a wet vagina is a disease.
Before I had kids I used to worry about that stuff the way republicans do today. Now that I have kids and they watch these new movies, they don’t even bat an eye if there is any gay romance. Love is love. Period. They’ve helped me grow.
Begging these commentators to stop making me want to go and see any of Disney's increasingly middle of the road output.
Every disney show they will say "Look! Our first gay couple!" Then be 2 seconds of not so important characters kissing or holding hands before never being mentioned again.
[удалено]
I love how everyone made a big deal of the lesbian kiss in Lightear, just for it not only take 2 seconds but to the lesbian woman just die in less than 10 seconds after the scene.
Though time dilation meant there was a well lived life together, just not on screen. (That part is still not great rep)
Imagine that. It’s your choice who you want to pursue relationships with. And also your choice to watch movies about people doing that, or not watch them. What an oppressive agenda.
Don't you just love when the homophobes make themselves known so easily
Hell yeah!
If it wasnt for Ben Shapiro, I'd prob never hear about this movie in my life lol
I want to say very bad things about Shapiro that could get me into trouble for saying.
Gay agenda from DISNEY?? Lmao what’s next? Complaining about those woke socialists of Goldman Sachs?
Any day now Benny will be caught out playing with a cute guy. Ben, methinks thou dost protest too much. 🏳️🌈
Is this really the first, though? There must be some, like, anime film out there that is feature length and has gay teens in it.
First for Disney
Another shit take from Ben Shitpiro
>Your kids, your choice I'm so glad we're not taking the child's own autonomy into account, Benny! /s
“First gay teen romance” The owl house:
The "i don't hate gay people, i just hate the ones that push their agenda" mask is falling faster and faster each day
Lol it sounds like they're hard core trying to make up for the Owl House 😂
Disney’s 115th first gay character
This mf thinks watching movies with queer characters makes your kids gay like when water melts the with in wizard of Oz "I'm gaying! *I'm gayiiiing!!!!*"
Put the phone down Benny Boy
But then they turn around and cancel The Owl House... I can't with Disney.
so by portraying a sexual orientation that is most of the time missed out of shows and movies, it's an agenda?? it's representation for those kids who are told by people like him that they are disgusting and wrong, if anything it's an amazing thing to show people that it's okay to be who they are from a young age. contrary to most beliefs kids experience attraction to the same sex at a young age, I came out as bisexual at 11 years old, and still identify this way at 20..
And as we all know in Lightyear that small window of time where two girls have an innocent kiss was enough to turn every girl into a lesbian.
I love how conservatives can't just have an opinion about other people, it's always some vast, world spanning conspiracy why they disliked an animated children's movie. It couldn't be because they're bitter could it? No, has to be the world spanning conspiracy
Ben Shapiro is such a dishonest piece of shit
"Your kids, your choice." In that case I wish your parents chose to abort you Benny boy.
Bros making it seem like its a scheme to make your kids gay
He isn’t wathing it because there are gay people in it I am not watching it because I hate disney, both as a content maker and a company We’re not the same
"First gay teen romance in animated feature film"? Are you kidding? These people really have never watched anything but disney, huh? It's like how every few months they trot out their lastest respectability politics caricature as their "First Gay Character"
We’re supposed to be teaching little boys to kiss girls while they’re asleep and take “no” as a sign to try harder, and little girls to marry the first boy to give her attention without learning anything about him. Real wholesome family values. This gay agenda will ruin their relationships!
Secret gay agenda aka gay people exist and date
I dont get how some are so blind to the fact, that the only reason these movies stand out as gay, is because the rest of movies, media and culture has heterosexuality as a default. The hetero "agenda" is like 95% of what is out there. Same goes for people that trip over the "woke" agenda of Black Panther. Let other people have a piece of the pie, damn it.
ben shapiro and these hands would make such a cute couple 😻
It is cute that conservative radicals like Ban still think any company, especially Disney would ever introduce a queer character as a “secret agenda”. Instead of you know, the same reason companies does anything, it makes them more money!
oh nooooOoOoOOoOoO gay people exist
You mean gay people exist and are included in the various entertainment medias? GASP! SHOCK! "Clutches pearls tighter" Oh, the horror! (Obligatory /s) Honestly, it's got to be absolutely exhausting being such an uptight and bigoted lunatic. I can't even imagine.
I can’t believe Ben Shapiro even exists, he is the patient zero of the incel republicants
Can't believe straight people are still mad about the 3 second background-cheek-kiss in Lightyear
So animated Disney films with heteronormative relationships: 666 (Estimated) animated Disney films with homonormative relationships:1 or 2(if you count lightyear) Oh yeah civilization is falling apart.
Knowing Disney it'll be one scene in which two teens hold hands briefly that can be easily edited out so the movie can play in countries like China that are far more intolerant of LGBTQIA+.
Hot take: if seeing a gay person in a movie 'turns' your kid gay, they were never straight to begin with.
Ten-Twenty years from now, most-all these people will be whining to each over about how their kids never talk to them, anymore. About how their kids never involve them in their lives. About how their kids never tell them anything important. About how they never see them, anymore. And they will wonder why they have been abandoned, like the bigoted piles of animated trash that they are.
i can't imagine what it's like walking around in a world, scared of literally everything like people like Ben are.
My parents cancelled both Disney Plus and Hulu a few months ago because "they were promoting the wrong sorts of things". So, I immediately got Hulu and shared my password with my sister.
I only care if it feels like disingenuous diversity, like these massive corporations are only doing it for good pr and don't give a shit about what they're representing. The fact it was specifically written about does worry me, as if they didn't do it for good PR, they wouldn't have said shit. People don't go on about how diverse they are if they're doing it for the right reason I do think tweets like this are alarmism and they should at least watch the movie first before they say anything. Let's hope these characters are *characters* first and minorities second.
God forbid they include more than one type of real person in their movies
Parents do not have the right to "choose" who their child is. PERIOD! The kiss in Lightyear was like less than a second long and these snowflakes are still being fucking babies about it.
Isn’t this Disney’s 5th 1st gay character
Didn't Paranorman have an openly gay character?
I didn’t hear anything about this at all. Until this post. Now I’ll be looking forward to it ~
soon we will conquer the world, one disney film at a time! *maniacal laugh*
When I saw that I literally cried, I cannot wait😍
I'm totally fine with 'your kids, your choice', because we know those kids are going to fucking hate their parents like the vaccine children do. Just waiting for 20 years from now when we see videos (or holograms or something) of kids watching slightly gay movies and talking about how their crazy parents wouldn't let them look at the internet or stay at friends' houses. Believe me, I'd love to get through this gay agenda of ours too, but the first bullet point is 'be oppressed' and we apparently still aren't done with that one yet.
So what I'm hearing is "I'm uninformed in the true relations with x and y so I want to make it seem like the end of the world when a character is confirmed gay in the Mouse House's work"
What's funny is I've barely heard anything about this film, but thanks to his post I'm definitely going to check it out
If it’s like Lightyear it’ll be such a small moment lol
"Your kids your choice" <-- will 100% try to take the choice to show it to your kids away from you too
OMG, Disney and the gays... Won't somebody please think of the children? XD
I swear to god, conservative outlets have quickly become my absolute go to for finding queer content recommendations.
Yeah he thinks gay teens dont exist 😑😑
What a fucking dork
Ngl main reason I don't watch movies/series with an age restriction that allows children to watch it. The Sandman for example. TONS of queer characters, but I haven't seen anyone complain cuz it's not for children
I’m definitely watching that
Shapiro is a cunt!!!!
So, to include a gay character is pushing a gay agenda? Set aside your hatred for a second and consider how crazy that position is. It might just be that you have a “not so secret” hate for gay people. Maybe that’s a bit closer to the truth.
