I think y’all are misunderstanding what she said about race/sexuality in cartoons/comics. She said if the character isn’t clearly shown to have romantic engagements, or hinted to be a certain race then why speculate on their sexuality or race . So, as in, if it’s a comic about a hero fighting bad guys with no romance AT ALL involved, then their sexuality shouldn’t be brought up. Obviously if there is a romantic element involved in the story then yeah, there is a topic that you could make about that character’s sexuality
Because representation matters, and sexuality is about more than sex or dating. It's about understanding yourself better. And about race, again, representation matters. Even though it's usually said as a joke, when you don't get to see yourself represented in media, you start to take what you can get.
@@trenvert123 representation does matter. But it’s straight up corny searching for it in places where it ain’t. Asians represent themselves through Bollywood kdramas , animes etc Africans represent themselves through Bollywood and traditional music. Same for Europeans. The common denominator is people create their own representation rather than waiting for others to do it . Secondly black people claim every ANIMAL character and it’s dumb and dehumanising .
Just as a superhero guy, most comics do explain character sexuality. No they aren’t necessarily fing, but most heroes have a love interest :) hopefully that makes sense
Even so it makes me laugh cuz like that literally means we don’t need Mary Jane, Batwoman, Catwoman, Louis Lane… if having a gay love interest is a problem cuz at the end of the day it has nothing to do with the main plot. Just a side plot like the many hetero interests. But the comics always had both so… People just mad at the idea rather than “bad writing”
Most cartoons all show heterosexual relations between characters. It is so normal, that we grew accustomed to seeing it. With homosexuality, it was never really a thing, that's why when a gay couple or love interest are shown, people pick up on it right away. It's out of the ordinary. These little kids in these cartoon shows be having boyfriend and girlfriends too. Lol no one questions sexuality then, because it's ordinary to see.
I disagree with the comics not needing to speak of sexuality in them, it’s never an issue when Batman kisses Catwoman, or straight up had a baby with Talia al Ghul. That Spider-Man scene where he kisses Mary Jane is super popular, but (for example) everyone has an issue with Superman being bisexual. It only seems like an “issue” when it’s with non straight characters, just my two cents.
i think the problem is that its not natural because where in cannon does it say superman is bi or something. It comes down to story for tbh, you can't just make these superheros gay and think its not a problem and not have a good story behind it. ;like u did it for no reason and its pandering. plus the comics are bad when it comes to story so that's also a negative...feels like the lgt community gets crumbs and they deserve better but nope they just throw crumbs
There no orginal gay supheros too they keep using the old superheros and u don't expect people to be mad when u make a change like that. idk just feels like the comic indrstury isn't trying anymore and just running off the legs of Stan Lee and idk whats happening at DC comics they're a shitshow
@@DonnyDon90 Captain Marvel I belive think am messing up her name They all got negative reaction because nobody asked for it and they wrote and made the character shit
I agree with dee on the 'assigning sexualities' thing. I'm lgbtq but I feel like not everything has to be lgbtq related in shows and movies. It's fine if they are 🤷 but I dont like when people force it on the characters, ya know? And before yall call dee homophobic, just know that this is her opinion. Don't start stuff for no reason.
Assigning sexuality to characters is the norm alot of characters especially in more adultish shows have partners or plot lines where they have a love interest. Even if you go to Nick or Disney alot of those shows they had characters who had a love interest in another character. It was always the norm
Yea that's why I came to the comments to see if people felt the same way I felt after she said that 🤣. They do assign sexuality to characters alot of the time.
Sexuality are usually a thing in cartoons/animation, the only issue I have with how they're doing it now is that the characters sexuality becomes the main focus of the whole story which just makes it become a bad written character and also makes way for lazy writing Another issue is directors (big franchises) being too lazy to create new characters with great story and making them any gender they want(I'm sure with the budget they're using to change the stories of old characters they could easily create new one's)
Its never the center focus of the characters.. people being homophobic blow it up to be the only thing thats talked about but no character who has been announced as gay, storyline is ever centered around them being gay.
Also It would be much better to simply create new characters who have that specific sexuality Using old characters is lazy kinda like doing remakes of classics
Bruh.... Superman and Lois Laine.. Batman & Catwoman be fckin.. I mean the list goes on.. These movies be making a full on main storyline out of these relationships, yet the relationship that has nothing to do with the plot most of the time in these hetero movies lmfao so who really be making characters sexuality be centre of attention.
That's the other side of the argument lol look how crazy obsessed certain "fans" have become in assigning sexuality to characters in a show that almost deliberately avoids that. This show is a perfect example of what Dee was talking about.
I feel so old that you don't recognize the Goonies! That ugly character was made up character on a 80s kids film. You don't have to feel guilty for laughing
The water in Europe thing is because you have to buy bottled water to drink. Europe doesn't have a modern filtration system like America. So, drinking tap water is out and drinking fountains etc are a non existent. You can shower and whatnot, but don't drink none of the water. You will get terrible diarrhea or worse. I've been to Europe, didn't drink the water but accidentally ingested a little, and girl it was not nice. Almost messed up my day. 💯
Actually it's because when you go to restaurants they start charging you as soon as you sit down (even before you get water or place a food order). The water is clean to drink (although I don't recommend drinking directly from the fountains ⛲).
6:30 Gay teen here with a very simple answer: It's fun and we like to. As long as no one is being hurt, we like to have our own little headcanons, just for fun and sometimes to feel more connected to a character. You can talk about your headcanons with friends and other fans. It's just fun. I also want to clarify that when my friends and I do it, we don't have sex in mind. We just go off of vibes that we have in our heads, it's pretty random honestly.
The first lady is the mayor of Gary if I remember correctly. Cause I remember she came to talk at our senior assembly and the second she started talking we all started leaving🤣🤣 she was stealing money from the city. Idk if she still mayor though.
Girl I'm freaking gay and I know wtf you meant when you were explaining about the whole cartoon thing these people just to dam sensitive in the comments 😐
So Dee doesn't like Domino's pizza, Subway, Grapefruits, and now Salmon 🤯 all the things I like 😩 I agree with her on Pizza Hut thou. Had to let that go 😏
6:31 this what I’ve been saying like we do we need to know that information this nigga just fights crime what does dat have to do with sexuality I got spammed in my dms for saying why does it matter
Im a stud but my name is Kee my real name is for business purposes lmaoo and bill collectors but until they get my name right I'll be Kee to them too lmaoo
That first one is Lori Lightfoot, mayor of Chicago. She’s a disgrace to my city 😒 1:32 that would be funny if Europeans didn’t use that comeback for every joke an American makes
And what’s wrong with begging? Oh, only the fact people are worried about what others think. Because truth of the matter, asking everyone for a dollar or two could make someone 6 figures a year. Now what’s tea? “Beggin The Stallion” got a Tesla fully loaded model x and folk got a bus pass…. But shaming them…. What’s up?
Lmao ya'll better get that glueless lace front. Ya'll gonna be all forehead with all that glue. The way I see some of ya'll rip your wig off at the end of the day is concerning.
also gay men (men who have sex with men in general actually) can’t donate blood if they’ve had sexually relationships within 6 months. It use to be 10 years so people think it’s “progress”, but I’m o-negative (a universal donor) who has never been allowed to donate blood and never will.
