Thats what they get for shoving the gay down my throat

It's not that it has a gay character in it (although the media would usually blame a flop like this on that), it's that it's just not interesting. There wasn't any advertising for it either.

Turning Red at least had contrived Twitter controversies to advertise the movie, but this doesn't even have that.

See it didn't look interesting to me either but im also tired of Disney having a random gay character every 5 seconds

Do love how we have articles like this.

2 years ago, the media would have blamed people for not going to see a movie because it has gay people in it, but now they’re saying having a gay character isn’t the reason? Make up your mind. Which is it?

You sound like my step dad lmao

Its a kids movie, why spend your time worrying about it?

So if it wasn’t a kids movie then it would be okay to talk about? Got it. I’ll keep you in mind next time I talk about anything.

The point I was attempting to make (although it must have been a very poor attempt as it seems you have missed my point entirely) is that its just such a meaningless thing to bring up. The point you were trying to make has been made time and time again, to no avail. If the movie didn't have queer characters in it, nobody would be talking about its failure. Who cares that a Disney movie with queer characters flopped? It didn't fail because of the character decision, it failed because Disney failed at advertising this movie. I didn't hear about this movie until the end of November. Plus, there's so many other cool new movies and shows happening right now, its not worth going to see that movie when you could watch something else, like the new black panther movie, or stay home and watch Netflixes series about Wednesday Adams.

Again, the point that I'm trying to make is that this is a stupid thing to talk about. Movies fail all the time. You don't care about those movies, do you? I'm guessing not. You only care about this one because it has ideals that contradict your own.

You seriously think that I believe this movie failed because of a gay character?

This article is summarizing exactly what we've been saying for the longest time. For too long, the media has blamed movie flops on misogyny, racism, and homophobia. That's not the reason we aren't watching movies. They're just bad movies.

But now the media has completely flipped. Now they're saying that it's not flopping because of a gay character "despite what the right would say" when that's exactly what we've been saying this whole time.

Ah
It seems I missed your point too
Sorry

However what you say is actually pretty much the truth and I agree. I misunderstood what your point was and thought you were pinning its failure on the gay character, as others online have done since it was announced.
