And it has to feel natural. Shoehorning in a sexual preference just to check a box and appease some groups doesn't work.

Exactly. I'm sure there is a great gay superhero that could be written. In fact, I'm sure one (or more) already has been. Why not give him/her/they their own movie rather than trying to make Ben Grimm a closet case?

No, but he's a great example of a badass gay character that is beloved by everyone. So it obviously isn't that people don't want to see gay characters. Omar makes a mockery of the bigotry/homophobia narrative. People have a connection to characters and they just don't like when you fuck with their notions about a character. Wonder Woman is not a lesbo!

I don't mind them at all. But you have to write new characters. You can't just make Spiderman black or have Captain America start sucking dicks.

They blame him for the weather at this point. It drives clicks. People want over-the-top TRUMP IS BRINGING RUIN pieces because they'd rather think the world is burning than think they are overreacting.

It would be ok to make Robin from Batman gay, because everybody realized he probably was going back to Burt Ward.

But having characters suddenly come out seems inappropriate to the franchises. Write new characters.

Quote:

Consider why Dick’s Sporting Goods was selling assault rifles in the first place, or why a place like Cabela’s, which is ostensibly a camping store, continues to do so.

Uh, Cabela's is not primarily a camping store.

Quote:

Why does a conglomerate like Vista and a store like Dick’s sell both rifles and bike helmets? Because the outdoor industry is strange like that.

So he finds it confusing that an outdoors store sells both guns and also bike helmets.

And he follows it up with this gem.

So Manning doesn’t think the pizzeria—beloved by neo-Nazis and on the wrong side of the anthem-kneeling debate—is a worthy investment, but he’s going to continue shilling for the chain?

Um, yes, entirely plausible he doesn't trust their long term prospects but is willing to collect checks from them until they stop sending them... wtf? maybe they should stick to being triggered by trump

I know they don't like Peyton Manning, and I know they REALLY don't like Papa John, so whatever interpretation reflects poorly on both of them (Peyton for being nothing but a corporate shill, Papa for his protests take) is probably the intention.
