Off To The Races vs National Anthem

The only time “fat”, “ugly” actors get leading roles in films is in comedy e.g. Shallow Hal, any film with Melissa McCarthy, Rebel Wilson is starting to appear in her own movies, but with the majority of these movies the lead “fat” character is SURROUNDED by beautiful co-stars, that comes down to Hollywood and not believing they can sell a movie without a straight, white, good looking lead. So yeah it sucks for anyone else that isn’t that, that being said I DO feel like LGBT representation in film/tv is a lot more toxic than discrimination against overweight, objectively unattractive people, although it’s all part of the same discussion, alongside race and gender misrepresentation

It’s very irritating that the only representation gay people get in mainstream cinema/TV is solely either white, straight acting, cute, guy next door guy (Love, Simon), the overly gay sidekick with the witty comments (Titus - Kimmy Schmidt), the evil villain in most cartoons etc. It’s those stereotypes that only get portrayed. Even in shows and films that are saying they’re breaking out of those stereotypes still use them. If the central character is gay they’re usually played by a straight actor (Love, Simon, Brokeback Mountain). If there’s a gay character in a film/show then that is their one and only unique selling point - they are gay - and that’s all they are, that’s their entire character. Lesbians overly sexualised, gays are these promiscuous sassy flamboyants, bisexuals are solely used for 3sum scenes or to be the “bitchy” bite-me (usually female) kinda character. LGBT representation in the widespread media is disgusting and seeps into the real world, in gay dating its almost impossible to find any interest unless you’re skinny, cute, young looking, feminine or beefy, hairy, manly, straight acting. And anyone else is like an outcast. (That’s a sweeping statement I know there’s way more to that discussion). But yeah, I like movies that have gay characters but their sexuality isn’t the one and only shining quality from their entire persona, films like Booksmart and Blue is the Warmest Colour both have gay central characters and while both include lesbian sexual scenes and sexuality, their sexual identity is hardly even discussed, they just are gay and that’s that, that’s part of their character sure but they’re SO much more than that and they’re fleshed out and written and performed so well. Try to hit up the more indie lgbt movies to find some better representation.

She should’ve put Let You Down on Charli instead of BIOYL
-
It’s good, I’m kinda...mad that she didn’t release it? I totally get why she didn’t but they’re still releasing Peep music and this would’ve been a really nice addition to Pop 2 and would’ve been a nice homage to him as an artist from Charli, just my opinion obviously she doesn’t think the same which is completely fair and like I said I totally get why
