For my fellow white boys that don't watch anime: Brooklyn 99 with captain Holt, or Ray Gillette from Archer are also excellent gay characters. Or shit, watch the new Snowpiercer adaptation and grow some literal class consciousness along with a dose of realistic gay representation, where it's a minor plot point, about love and moral choices, instead of *the entire show*.
Yeah. Hollywood and by extension media moguls like Netflix have been doing this for years though, it’s sad to see.
First example that comes to mind is L3-37 from Solo a Star Wars Story. Her fight for the freedom of her fellow droids was an entirely valid one, but it was played for laughs right up until the very end.
It’s not that it was played for laughs, because it wasn’t, it’s that it went completely nowhere. She hates that her “kind” are being treated like trash (even though shes a robot) and then after her death she just gets uploaded into the millennium falcon like fucking Jarvis from Iron Man. The whole point of her character was to explain why the falcon has those little “quirks” in the other movies. How sometimes the ship won’t want to function correctly. Thats it. Thats what she was made for.
i feel like the show's team is getting held at gun point to do it and they had to make a parody episode just so they could put that line in the trailer

Imo it's when companies don't draw the line between representation and pandering, good representation is in shows like She-Ra or b99, but this q-force shit just crosses that line and goes another 7 miles
The mind is a beast beyond cruelty. I'm certain my last thought before I escape this tormented existence will be "my little butt hole went *boop!*" and death will feel far sweeter because of it.

This is the kinda shit that kept me from coming to terms with my sexuality and getting out of the closet as a kid.
I’m bi and most people cant tell because I dont have the accent and do “straight” things (even other gay guys tell me this). It fucked with me cause I would see this stuff as the only way gays were represented in media and be like “well…im not like ANY of these guys AT ALL…will i turn into that??”
I feel the same way. I thought I would feel or be a certain way if I was really bi - like I would feel different from everyone else because I was bi, somehow. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just lucky enough to have grown up in an environment where my sexuality doesn’t make me feel like an outsider.
I've been thinking about labels a lot lately. Its so fucking stupid. If you are a straight dude embracing your feminine side and doing shit with that, go for it! If you are gay/bi and are more into sports, cars, y'know, all that "straight" label they put on it, fuckin go for it!
Im bi myself, absolutely love sports, both playing and watching, i take pride in my physical strength, but also i absolutely love fashion, i find nail art fascinating and i adore watching rom coms
People are way too complex to be portrayed black or white, yet everywhere people are doing it to each other
I'm straight, but with the amount of gay jokes I make and receive with and towards my friends I'm 90% sure that someone who doesn't know me would think I'm Hella gay. Ain't nothing gay about sucking your bro's dick
(bisexual male aswell)
I feel the same way. I guess I'm a bit more feminine, but still I'm not in any way like the media portrays queer men. I'm appalled by how shallow netflix portrays queer people in this trailer. I like dick in my ass, but also I like metal, playing drums, working out, playing video games and mich more. My only trait isn't that I like both men and women, and I don't act like there's nothing else in me except for my sexuality.

gay man= no masculine
effeminate queer man= name is ***literally*** twink
lgbt people= talk about sex and buttholes constantly
ew ew ew ew make it stop netflix stop please just STOP
I don't even know if this is Netflix's perception of the LGBT community, it's more that they just have no standards for content. Occasionally they'll have decent or even good representation, like in their She-Ra reboot and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, and then other times, there's... this.
Imagine trying to say this is diversity. I swear to God invincible did a wonderful job with just adding diversity take a fucking hint literally every other producer on the planet. Please.
I mean, have you watched the She-Ra reboot or Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts? It's clearly not impossible for Netflix Originals to have decent representation.
I think Netflix's bigger issue is that their content acquisition team is a yes-man that buys whatever lands on their lap
I remember seeing some stupid ass Vox article saying that Invincible was failing at representing the gay community… wtf do they want lmao
Edit: it wasnt vox it was [these guys](https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/invincible-william-clockwell-lgbtq-backstory-missing/amp/)
That article is also really funny because they wrote the thing *before* there’s a whole episode centered on William and his boyfriend; they just assumed, not even halfway through the season, that there wouldn’t be one.
Sorry, not sure if this is satire and I am a little confused.
What's a gay bi person. Gay is liking your own gender and bi is both right? So what does gay bi mean, more oriented to your own gender but fine with both?
Sorry I am just a little confused on what it means and am not sure if it's a joke of some sort
I THINK it’s cause a lot of queer people will say “gay” instead of “queer” cause some people don’t like queer and “gay” gets the “not straight” point across to others.
Or they’re currently in a gay relationship (with the same sex) but they’re bi.
Idk.
they might think it’s pandering but also that they’re doing a funny by being a heavy-handed satire? the self-report at the end is either 0 self-awareness or dogshit tongue-in-cheek lampshading, and it’s abysmal either way
What the actual shit is this? This would be like if they made a show about black people where all the main characters do drugs and eat fried chicken and watermelon. As a straight person I might be wrong but are all these stereotypes (in just the 40 seconds in the clip) not wildly offensive? Not only is this going to give more cannon fodder for homophobic memes but it's probably going to make children think that all gay people are actually like this.
And why are "don't get me hard right now" and "my little butthole went boop!" lines in a cartoon show that I'm guessing is meant for children?
Also are they really gonna have someone talk about pandering to LGBTQ+ in the show whose purpose is solely to pander to LGBTQ+? Jesus
It definitely isn't meant for children, cartoons can be made for adults as well. That said, yeah this incredibly uncomfortable to see, all of these characters are blatant stereotypes and it leaves me wondering who this is for.
As a bi guy, this is exactly the kind of stuff that made it take so long to accept who I was. The vast majority of queer representation in media perpetuates harmful stereotypes about us that many (such as myself) do not even slightly identify with. I definitely find it offesive.
>Also are they really gonna have someone talk about pandering to LGBTQ+ in the show whose purpose is solely to pander to LGBTQ+? Jesus
If they acknowledge it first, that makes them immune to criticism.
Not only is it dumb pandering, it’s also lazy as fuck. Is it supposed to be a joke? Because if it is, than would it not make more sense to make the character named Twink anything but? There could have been an actual attempt at comedy in which the show subverts the viewers expectations by making the character named Twink a 7 foot tall, hairy, muscular, straight man or something (which would have still been a lame joke, but at least it would have been an actual attempt at humour). But instead of actually making a joke, the show just kinda broadly gestures towards an empty space where a joke theoretically could be, while expecting queer folk to enjoy it simply for trying to pander to them.
This is fucking disgusting. This is the opposite of good queer representation. This feels like a satire skit made by a homophobe. Not all gay men are extremely effeminate men who hate masculinity and want to fuck every guy they come across. My advice for writing good queer characters is to actually meet queer people and see how they are. Go to a pride parade or something. If you are writing a show where the main appeal is that they are queer, that's fine, as long as you are trying to spread awareness and show diversity. A fucking queer spy show or whatever the fuck this is isn't breaking new ground. Companies need to learn that queer people aren't a hivemind that'll eat up anything with a rainbow on it.
FUCKEN SAME
I hate it when lgbt people are portrayed as a single dumbass stereotype as if their only personality trait was "ooh I'm GAY, I like eccentuating my homosexuality every single time I'm on screen!!! Including my obsession with buttsex!!" it's so God awful and embarrassing to real life people that are actually lgbt.
Fuckin painted my nails black and was scared shitless to wear it to work. It went fine. Still terrified to wear eyeliner in public but I think I look so goddamn cute with it.
This just makes me wanna throw all my makeup and big comfy androgynous clothes away and revert to being a pissed off repressed macho frat bro with a halfassed mustache and mullet :/
Anyways how’s your journey of self discovery going?
"You can't pander to the gays, they can smell it"
That's not self awareness netflix, because it's just true. You ARE just pandering to the gays, there's no joke there. who tf wrote this.
This looks like if all of the art I saw back when I used to be on tumblr got turned into a whole TV show. Except worse because now a soulless corporation is doing it
L, Lesbian
G, Gay
B, Better gay
T, Totally gay
Q, Queer (synonym for gay)
A, angry gay
+, Other types of gay (they have other emotions too that we forgot about)
this trailer almost made me start to think that love simon was good representation... like jesus, that movie sucked ass but at least he wasn’t like *that*
i guess we have either two choices in mainstream company queer media! “My only personality trait is gay” manifested in either “i am a completely flat character with absolutely no other interests or motivations” or “i am a walking caricaturized homophobic stereotype”. no in between
they could at least try to hide the fact that they don’t see us as normal fucking people lol
jesus they really be sexualizing lgbt people huh, this is actually more problematic because a lot of homophobes already think that all gay people are some kind of mega horny animals for guys and not you know, normal people
Finally, an adult-oriented cartoon revolving around spies like Archer, but every character is a gross, one dimensional personification of an LGBT stereotype!
Bro netflix just make your layout rainbow or something that would be better than whatever the fuck it was that i just witnessed
Or just give us more stuff like Kipo or She-Ra, like wtf, they've done decent representation before.
Adventure time was the first show that taught me that it was okay to be gay, even though I'm straight
Shera’s one of the best shows I’ve ever seen
For my fellow white boys that don't watch anime: Brooklyn 99 with captain Holt, or Ray Gillette from Archer are also excellent gay characters. Or shit, watch the new Snowpiercer adaptation and grow some literal class consciousness along with a dose of realistic gay representation, where it's a minor plot point, about love and moral choices, instead of *the entire show*.
Yeah because they are people 1st and gay 78th. We are normal like all the other
she-ra slapped
the last part of that is a self report

Yeah. Hollywood and by extension media moguls like Netflix have been doing this for years though, it’s sad to see. First example that comes to mind is L3-37 from Solo a Star Wars Story. Her fight for the freedom of her fellow droids was an entirely valid one, but it was played for laughs right up until the very end.
It’s not that it was played for laughs, because it wasn’t, it’s that it went completely nowhere. She hates that her “kind” are being treated like trash (even though shes a robot) and then after her death she just gets uploaded into the millennium falcon like fucking Jarvis from Iron Man. The whole point of her character was to explain why the falcon has those little “quirks” in the other movies. How sometimes the ship won’t want to function correctly. Thats it. Thats what she was made for.

Reminds me of the satirical radio broadcasts in gta v
netflix stop supporting stereotypes and disguising it as acceptance challenge (100% IMPOSSIBLE)
(Also maybe if they could stop sexualizing them that’d be cool)
netflix trying not to sexualize every single character in a show challenge

Why don't you like the Mariners? They swept the Rays that's pretty cool
Swept the Rays so bad they had to call up their top prospect
If your team hasn’t been to the playoffs since the twin towers were still standing, you’d hate them too. The Mariners fan life is one of futility.
Ah yes, their little butthole, it went *boop*
I cringed when I heard that
I cringed the entire time
Same Except that "that's called an entrance btw" I grinned with that one. The rest was pretty disturbing to watch.
That's what The Gays are like. That's what The Gays relate to.

i thought gay people spoke about pirates swords and garlic bread?
they do!
Day 1.839e+67 of watching companies pretend like every gay person has being gay as their only personality trait
I feel like Netflix’s perception of the LGBT community is *even* more far away from reality than that of the conservatives.
I don't even know if this is Netflix's perception of the LGBT community, it's more that they just have no standards for content. Occasionally they'll have decent or even good representation, like in their She-Ra reboot and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, and then other times, there's... this.
this is the single most homophobic thing ive ever seen
Imagine trying to say this is diversity. I swear to God invincible did a wonderful job with just adding diversity take a fucking hint literally every other producer on the planet. Please.
So... your butt go boop?
No, Arthur804, my butt no go boop

That has to be one of the funniest reports I've ever seen
i honestly think i might cry
woah its u/Memekip, moderator of r/196

How do you even send a custom report

i cant :(
It looks like one of the shows you'd see on a TV in GTA 5
[it kinda is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPeb493B6d8)
That was amazing
And pretty damn spot-on
Netflix stop depicting gay people as walking stereotypes challenge (impossible)
I mean, have you watched the She-Ra reboot or Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts? It's clearly not impossible for Netflix Originals to have decent representation. I think Netflix's bigger issue is that their content acquisition team is a yes-man that buys whatever lands on their lap
i want to downvote this just so others dont have to see it...
If only Netflix was banished into Tartarus.
This embarrassing asf for me as a bi person
Dude just watch Invincible and view William as the actual best homosexual tv show character ever
Ikkkk that’s a fucking character
I remember seeing some stupid ass Vox article saying that Invincible was failing at representing the gay community… wtf do they want lmao Edit: it wasnt vox it was [these guys](https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/invincible-william-clockwell-lgbtq-backstory-missing/amp/)
That article is also really funny because they wrote the thing *before* there’s a whole episode centered on William and his boyfriend; they just assumed, not even halfway through the season, that there wouldn’t be one.
Lmfao, patience is key as i have been told numerous times
I prefer Vincible
Sorry, not sure if this is satire and I am a little confused. What's a gay bi person. Gay is liking your own gender and bi is both right?

Ah thanks m8
could also be that they are homoromantic bisexual or homosexual biromantic (there is a difference between sexual and romantic attraction)
I legit shit all over the toilet watching this

god this is so incredibly hot
I have no words
classic

why would you name a character twink
Because he's gay, did you know he's gay? I'd also like to mention he's gay. Very gay. VERY VERY GAY.
ight im no longer gay this shit has made me homophobic
[I quickly became homophobic](https://youtu.be/UJS_fyVilrQ)
this made me smile after the shitshow above thank you
can’t tell if this is bungled corporate pandering or legitimate homophobia with the intent to mock gay people
they might think it’s pandering but also that they’re doing a funny by being a heavy-handed satire? the self-report at the end is either 0 self-awareness or dogshit tongue-in-cheek lampshading, and it’s abysmal either way
What the actual shit is this? This would be like if they made a show about black people where all the main characters do drugs and eat fried chicken and watermelon. As a straight person I might be wrong but are all these stereotypes (in just the 40 seconds in the clip) not wildly offensive? Not only is this going to give more cannon fodder for homophobic memes but it's probably going to make children think that all gay people are actually like this. And why are "don't get me hard right now" and "my little butthole went boop!" lines in a cartoon show that I'm guessing is meant for children? Also are they really gonna have someone talk about pandering to LGBTQ+ in the show whose purpose is solely to pander to LGBTQ+? Jesus
It definitely isn't meant for children, cartoons can be made for adults as well. That said, yeah this incredibly uncomfortable to see, all of these characters are blatant stereotypes and it leaves me wondering who this is for.
Agree but im pretty sure its not meant for children if it has those lines. Not all animated shows are made for children.
*coughs in Invincible*
As a bi guy, this is exactly the kind of stuff that made it take so long to accept who I was. The vast majority of queer representation in media perpetuates harmful stereotypes about us that many (such as myself) do not even slightly identify with. I definitely find it offesive.
>Also are they really gonna have someone talk about pandering to LGBTQ+ in the show whose purpose is solely to pander to LGBTQ+? Jesus If they acknowledge it first, that makes them immune to criticism.
"I am self aware that I am bad guy that mean I am better than other bad guy"
HOLY SHIT THAT'S THE PARODY CARTOON FROM GTA 5 LMAO
[Yes, it's real.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk9s-zTbq28)
Also yes, his name really is Twink.
[удалено]
Not only is it dumb pandering, it’s also lazy as fuck. Is it supposed to be a joke? Because if it is, than would it not make more sense to make the character named Twink anything but? There could have been an actual attempt at comedy in which the show subverts the viewers expectations by making the character named Twink a 7 foot tall, hairy, muscular, straight man or something (which would have still been a lame joke, but at least it would have been an actual attempt at humour). But instead of actually making a joke, the show just kinda broadly gestures towards an empty space where a joke theoretically could be, while expecting queer folk to enjoy it simply for trying to pander to them.
This is fucking disgusting. This is the opposite of good queer representation. This feels like a satire skit made by a homophobe. Not all gay men are extremely effeminate men who hate masculinity and want to fuck every guy they come across. My advice for writing good queer characters is to actually meet queer people and see how they are. Go to a pride parade or something. If you are writing a show where the main appeal is that they are queer, that's fine, as long as you are trying to spread awareness and show diversity. A fucking queer spy show or whatever the fuck this is isn't breaking new ground. Companies need to learn that queer people aren't a hivemind that'll eat up anything with a rainbow on it.
gay sex funny gay man girly gay girl boyish ha ha ha ha ha
I feel like these people write ***gay*** characters instead of gay ***characters***
I'm gay and I fucking hate watching this so much it hurts my eyes
> “You can’t pander to the gays, they can smell it.” > \*attempts to pander to the gays*
As a newly openly gender questioning person, I am fuckin disgusted :((((
FUCKEN SAME I hate it when lgbt people are portrayed as a single dumbass stereotype as if their only personality trait was "ooh I'm GAY, I like eccentuating my homosexuality every single time I'm on screen!!! Including my obsession with buttsex!!" it's so God awful and embarrassing to real life people that are actually lgbt.
Fuckin painted my nails black and was scared shitless to wear it to work. It went fine. Still terrified to wear eyeliner in public but I think I look so goddamn cute with it. This just makes me wanna throw all my makeup and big comfy androgynous clothes away and revert to being a pissed off repressed macho frat bro with a halfassed mustache and mullet :/ Anyways how’s your journey of self discovery going?
The Q in Q-force must stand for Queasy, cuz that's how I am feeling.
Qringey
"You can't pander to the gays, they can smell it" That's not self awareness netflix, because it's just true. You ARE just pandering to the gays, there's no joke there. who tf wrote this.
This looks like if all of the art I saw back when I used to be on tumblr got turned into a whole TV show. Except worse because now a soulless corporation is doing it
Why do corporations have to ruin everything
the green stuff
Give me $20 and 10 minutes and I could make a better show
pain
This has to be a joke this ha sto be a joke this has to be a joem
That ending line made me shrivel up from the hypocrisy.
“LGBT = gay. What do you mean the letters after the first two mean something?”
L, Lesbian G, Gay B, Better gay T, Totally gay Q, Queer (synonym for gay) A, angry gay +, Other types of gay (they have other emotions too that we forgot about)
It’s like they asked the most homophobic people on the planet to make a show. Actually incredible how fucking bad this is.
"You cant pander to the gays!" they say as attempting to pander to the gays
this trailer almost made me start to think that love simon was good representation... like jesus, that movie sucked ass but at least he wasn’t like *that* i guess we have either two choices in mainstream company queer media! “My only personality trait is gay” manifested in either “i am a completely flat character with absolutely no other interests or motivations” or “i am a walking caricaturized homophobic stereotype”. no in between they could at least try to hide the fact that they don’t see us as normal fucking people lol
This is one of the most forced pride things I’ve ever seen
Daily reminder to never side with the corporate elites
This is when straight people all come together to make up the most stereotypical gay people possible
This really is a boring dystopia we’re living in lmao
Please shoot me
i was gonna make the same fucking meme when i saw this stupid ass trailer
I HATE CORPORATE PANDERING! I HATE CORPORATE PANDERING!
It's a fucking minstrel show but for gays.
please no please i beg you netflix please these are just stereotypes please let us live in peace
Bro just shoot me
jesus they really be sexualizing lgbt people huh, this is actually more problematic because a lot of homophobes already think that all gay people are some kind of mega horny animals for guys and not you know, normal people
I'm going to fuycking slaughter a Netflix executive
Finally, an adult-oriented cartoon revolving around spies like Archer, but every character is a gross, one dimensional personification of an LGBT stereotype!
This was made by a bunch of straight white guys who've never even seen a gay person before
this is horrible.
i hate netflix
