Lightyear Same-Sex Kiss... LOOK AWAY!!

"LOOK AWAY!!"

We did.

I appreciate the snark, R1 but It opened at Number 2. It's going to do fine.

The last 3 Pixar movies were only released on Disney+ and did very well there. I have an inkling LIghtyear might just get some eyeballs when it goes to Disney+ since so many people, due to the pandemic, have gotten so used to seeing animated movies via streaming now.

Really, why lug the crotchfruit to the theater and shell out bucks when you can just wait a few months and stay at home, warm up some frozen pizza, and watch on the flat screen.

That's it? That's the controversy? It looks like two old friends greeting each other

Everybody needs to lighten-up... Fast

It's lesbians, not gay guys. Figures.

If everybody keeps falling for this shit the Right is going to take all your stuff and you'll never know what happened

Most people won't give a shit. We also are "warned" about things like smoking in older movies, so I think this is something the right and the left do to annoy each other. "Your ways are DANGEROUS and people must be WARNED!!" Yeah, whatever.

That's it? No scissoring? No fingering? No flashing of meat curtains? THAT'S what MAGAts are freaking out about this week?

Yet, they're just fine with unstable 18 year olds being able to purchase AR-15s and body armor.

If he exists, Jesus must WEEP at their soulless stupidity. I do.

It's a freaking CARTOON!!!

^ Sure, we all know what that "chicken hawk" stuff was code for 🙄

All those years of seeing heterosexuals kiss onscreen sure didn’t do much to turn me straight.

WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!??

^ WE'D RATHER NOT

How do you know how well they did? Each lost money of $100 million or more by not releasing in theaters.

"Each lost money of $100 million or more "

Do you mean each made $100 million or less than total budget?

It's what Walt would have wanted.

Uproar over the kiss, but no complaints about the space dildos that her friends are holding?

They're drinking liquor, too. The devil's nectar!

This is why I come here. For the opportunity to genuinely lol at the quick wit and snark.

Listen...whether we like it or not, there are people who believe homosexuality is wrong/gross/a sin etc., and have mostly been looking the other way while the adults do their thing.

But when you start putting it in content specifically aimed at children, that's what sets these people off. Most will just silently boycott, not make a stink, and gracefully choose not to allow their children to see it. Others will go bat shit and start going down to capitol buildings to push for anti-gay legislation because they genuinely believe their children are being targeted.

I'm on the fence with this. On the one hand, I don't see this kiss as that big of a deal, but on the other, I can see how this is pushing the envelope and may backfire on the gay community. Perhaps when it comes to kids, that demographic should be avoided with gay messaging for the general population just to keep the peace. Rest assured they're lumping this innocent situation in with the more ridiculous and definitely inappropriate drag Queen kids incidents. Why give them more ammo? That's all I'm saying.

It continually astonishes me that heterosexuality is such a fragile thing. It can seemingly be destroyed by one same-sex kiss in a cartoon.

Always with the safe lesbian affection but never gay men. Wtf?

r21 pda between females is excused in many nations, especially when it doesn't carry lesbian overtones. a kiss on the lips is a just a greeting to many. If they had a bigger market in south and west asia we might see more men but China is the money maker and the govt is anti-male homosexuality now. So, what are you going to do? On the flipside, tho, I am surprised by the excessive increase of gay content with Disney now. . . sure, most of it is small bits that can be edited out but we see them picking up quite a few purely gay media too.

I know because the of entertainment-biz reporting on the situation, R14.

The 3 films Disney/Pixar released on Disney+, "Soul" "Luca" and "Turning Red" all topped the ratings on that site and were all in the top 2 or 3 in views across all streaming services.

Those movies did very well for Disney+ and Disney+ "big picture" long term revenue for Disney. Getting and keeping subscriptions is key and having those movies ONLY on Disney+ brought in subscribers who will likely keep it for years.

But, sure, no theatrical release does make it look like those movies made no money, but they brought "big picture" worth to Disney+ and, therefore, to Disney Corp.

[quote]“Everyone is really bummed, but most of us get it. Families just aren’t going to the movies,” says one person at Pixar ---- Luca and Soul were among the most viewed streaming movies of 2021 in the U.S., according to Nielsen, though exact numbers won’t be released until later this month. “We were told that Soul brought a ton of subscribers to Disney+. Luca started off slower but essentially did the same,” the Pixar source says separately.

R21 The fury from repigs would be ten times more if it was two male characters kissing. POC lesbians gives Disney the same woke points anyway

Buzz Light-year and Woody are both trans.

Walt would have been fine with this.

Well, my dear, I'm sure you have many reasons to be cowardly and to encourage others to be cowardly with you. Since you're a bigot, the fact that you are a coward makes perfect sense.

But I just don't take advice from people who have little to no self-respect.

Oh Lord, this queen ^

It's called picking your battles and using wisdom, r27. If children's entertainment, education, activities, etc. is the medium through which you're willing to sacrifice everything and potentially risk setting the progress of the gay community back by several years, because we already know how insanely zealous these people are about their kids, then go right on ahead.

I, personally, just don't think it's worth it and have no interest in going back in the closet to start presenting as "straight and normal" looking as possible to avoid being seen as a "potential groomer" at first sight because I happen to be gender non-conforming. I just want to be left the hell alone, frankly.
