Especially since she didn't say what she defended or who.
wow you went from 0 to 60 there
all it means is that the gay reveal was a single line and is either never spoken of or referenced again or is at the very end as a "gotcha" to the audience (which is exactly what paranorman did too actually)
you must be naive though if you think how easy thing are to censor doesn't factor in at all. some countries will outright ban an otherwise successful show or movie if the gay can't be easily edited or cut out. it's very important for media companies that want to target specific markets
and no, you don't need to be a flaming queen to be a "valid" representation. even if the anon above is a troll, they have a point: there's a point between throwaway gay and BOY I SURE DO LOVE BEING GAY I'M GONNA REMIND YOU EVERY FIVE MINUTES
i get that it's different for movies like batb and paranorman if it's not the center focus but normalizing it is what would be best. not acting like it's a "reveal" at all but rather writing more characters just casually mentioning things like any straight person would

I'll forgive you if you write a better background for your shitty oc
Yeah it sounds like you care a tonne about understanding this issue, given that you shared a video that you'd only watched half of before slipping into a coma. I can really feel the personal investment!

So you decided to exonerate yourself on wankgate

There's nothing stopping this from happening to any other anon plurk, other than a lack of shits to give, which is why they shouldn't be used to share actually volatile information.
nayrt
this is the same thing ffa said too so
this is the same thing ffa said too so
the sheer amount of people falling for this troll is making me feel even older than the stale ass attempt itself
These people will never accept your apology.
I will be completely up front, I zoned out of the video part way through
lol
lol
never make an anonplurk about anything you wouldn't want your name attached to
but shiro didn't have a reveal. they hyped it as one in nycc for marketing reasons, but in narration, it wasn't. he didn't suddenly *confess* to everyone that he had a boyfriend. it wasn't some surprise or a "gotcha" thing in the show. we saw his past and he happened to have a boyfriend. the ILLNESS and his ~sad backstory~ was the reveal. if adam had been a girl, the flashbacks would've played the same. how more normalized than that do you want it to be? none of the queer characters in voltron were reveals in fact. they were treated as shit, that i don't deny, and the lines were vague as fuck because dreamworks. the plot writing is awful. but they all were moments that just happened to be queer. shiro's sexuality isn't treated any different from keith's, coran's, hunk's or pidge's aka they weren't brought up at all unless it was important at the moment it happened. that's normalization. same for paranorman actually. the guy could've said "let me invite my girlfriend" and the scene would've played the same. the punchline was that he was taken, not that he was gay (or bisexual, who knows).
if the characters had been having a talk about hot aliens they met and shiro had stayed silent, you would have a point. but he didn't "casually mention things like any straight person do" because in general in the show straight people didn't casually mention things *in the first place* (except for lance, but he has "flirter growing out of it" as part of his personality. he's the exception in the cast and not the rule). hunk has a cute moment with shay, but he doesn't "casually mention things" during the rest of the series either. keith, coran and pidge are blank states. even allura and lotor's romance wasn't spoken of. they just spent time together and then kissed. shiro's queerness is as normalized as it can be in an action series.
that's how representation should go, that's how naturalization should go. you use a line to establish a person is gay (or lesbian, or trans, or mixed race) and then they carry on with the plot like with everything else in their lives. it shouldn't be something that needs to be "brought up". if the conversation NATURALLY goes there (for example, group of friens talk about old crushes) then sure, it will be mentioned again. but if all they discuss is catching the bad guy, then nobody is hiding anything. it just hasn't come up.

it was such a great, engaging video that they fell asleep right in the middle of it
why should they? this wasn't an innocent mistake. jynxed knew what they were doing. that's why they went anon to do it. they knew it was wrong, did it anyway, now want to lick asses because what should have happened to them actually did.
the false excuses on decline notices and messages to potential players claiming that "multiple players" complained about "toxic" behavior is what grinds my gears. no one complained except for your petty ass, coffee.
tbqh if those people knew coffee was the mod i doubt they would have even tried to apply or play on the tdm.

You want to know when an apology would have been appropriate? When everybody in the anon plurk was identifying themselves and talking about how harmful the video was. This is damage control, plain and simple.
I will be completely up front, I zoned out of the video part way through after the distinctions were made more clear and posted it thinking it was harmless.
which is why you opted to do it anonymously, huh

You're honestly such a dumbass.
my bro, literally nobody ships bert and ernie, not even any of the groups you have mentioned
don't speak too soon anon
somebody's gonna do this google search but it isn't gonna be me

lol, you wish
lol, you wish
sometimes asshole has a point, and this point is - if Jynxed is too chickenshit to own up their shitty opinions, they should've never put that up at all.
