#actual gay actor playing gay character

Noah Schnapp is literally beyond evil. Like, spawn of satan level of evil. He only deserves to suffer for the rest of his existence. How dare he have empathy for innocent civilians in Israel and Palestine. First of all, there’s no such thing as innocent Israeli civilians. Second of all, you can't have empathy for both. Especially if he is a Zionist. All the Jewish people who identify as Zionists are evil. Israel has absolutely no right to exist and Jewish people have no right to exist in Israel. So many Jewish people who are Zionists claim that’s what Zionism means to them but they’re wrong. Zionism is pure evil. You can’t be Zionist and want peace and self determination for Palestinians. I’m not Jewish but I definitely know better than the Jewish Zionists who claim that. They’re all evil lying monsters. They want every Palestinian wiped off the face of the Earth. Hamas would never want such a thing. It’s not like they had a charter that said that about Jewish people. Even if they did, they supposedly recently changed it to Zionists instead so it’s all good now. Hamas is totally accepting of Jewish people now and would welcome them with open arms as long as they aren’t Zionist. Noah, if you’re a Zionist, don’t be anymore. You can change your evil ways. Hamas changed. Yeah, they may have killed civilians and taken hundreds hostage, they may have said October 7th was just the beginning and that it was going to happen over and over again, but they’re no longer antisemitic. They’re just anti Zionist so they’re good people now. You can change and be good too. You’re so young. There’s still hope for you. Stop lying and telling us how you want peace and self determination for Palestinians. We all know that’s not true. It can only be true if you aren’t Zionist.

You liking something like this makes absolutely no sense if you’re Zionist. I bet you don’t even agree with it and just liked it by accident or something. It’s crazy how I even managed to come across this months ago considering nobody talked about it or brought it to light. You liking that sketch of people in the LGBTQ+ community simping over Hamas got so much attention and caused so much outrage though. Funny how the internet works. Anyways, as a bisexual, I was so offended by that video. Hamas are well known LGBTQ+ allies. How could you like that video as someone who’s gay? It’s probably because you’re lying about being gay too. Shame on you.

Last thing I’m gonna say is fuck Israel and fuck Israelis. That country and all the people living there are evil. They’re all colonizers and occupiers. It needs to cease to exist and all the people currently living there need to go back to where they originally came from. All of them came from Europe, right? That’s what I’ve been hearing. They all need to return to Europe. Gosh, why’d they ever leave there in the first place? I know Jewish people say otherwise but they’re wrong. They’re either lying or in denial. They’re not indigenous to Israel. They’re indigenous to Europe. Us non Jewish people really need to educate them more about their own history, religion, ethnicity, etc. We need to teach them what antisemitism actually is. A lot of them don’t seem to understand what it is. We do that to every other minority group that we aren’t apart of, right?

#this post is sarcastic in case you can’t tell #bottled this up for so long and finally exploded lol #gotta learn to just not give a shit #noah schnapp #will byers #byler #I guess I’m also a terrible human being for having empathy for every innocent person affected #Netanyahu hamas and the idf suck #all terrorist groups and militaries suck #they shouldn’t even be a thing #one of the many reasons this world can’t be peaceful #I wish we all could live in peace but that’s never been reality and will never be reality because this world is terrible #if there actually was a god why would they allow all these horrible things to happen? #this is why I’m a former catholic turned atheist #stranger things #I can’t think of anyone more perfect to portray Will #actual gay actor playing gay character #love the representation #so many people who don’t personally know Will demonize him bully him and call him slurs #so many people who don’t personally know Noah demonize him bully him and call him slurs #thank goodness they both have family and friends who care about them and love them #antisemitism

Saw your Neil Gaiman post and as someone that found comfort in Good Omens (and got hyperfixated on it), I'm finally glad that some people are finally talking about how he isn't that great.

Even as a Fan, GOmens fandom is so...weird. See, in other fandoms people won't give much of a flying f/ck about the authors besides some mild respect or praise, but GOmens praise Neil SO HARD, despite giving off some iffy vibes (that now I understand why, after that big post) Never liked how almost every single POC character in GO has such a minimal role, same with women characters, the fact he's been caught (and that can be easily checked) lying about his ideas surrounding GOmens, the way he went from "Is not a romance, but it can be if you want to" -> "i always wrote it as a love story" also how he went from "There won't be another season because of Terry and because the ideas for the next book were incorporated in the show" -> "It was in 2019 when I finished writing S2 with the ideas I discussed with Terry before he died" and like seriously no one never noticed how much of a clown he his lying and backpedalling all over again again? Then there's how bad rep for fat people Sandman was and instead of accepting criticism he just keeps giving some "vague intelligent answer" and sits and waits for his legion of fans with a parasocial relationship to defend him. But somehow he's treated as a world treasure and a genius with a big brain. And this is less problematic and more petty but I'll be honest. He isn't that much of a good writer anyway? The prose is okay is good, but the worldbuilding and lore and characters is mostly edgy and lacks deepness. His fans seriously want to make a sea out of muddle puddles,,, and that's fair! Is such a big part of fan culture to dig into the smallests of things and make an universe out of a cardbox background character, but please, don't give Neil the credit that he doesn't deserve. And what proves more to me that he isn't that good of a writer, is just...take a look at that mess of a S2 of Good Omens, it was so bad that some people had to THEORIZE that it was bad on purpose. I have such a beef with S2, characters like Muriel, Saraqael and Michael and Maggie and Nina were so heavily promoted and of course everyone was hyped, finally more POC, more disabled characters, and yay, women! And they're lesbians! And and...and hold on, how it is that Muriel didn't do that much at all? How it is that Saraqael after being so hyped BARELY had almost nothing to do, is really that all the disabled rep we got? How is it that Michael and Uriel barely had anything to do and were just background characters again? It just angers me with how with so many fem-presenting characters, and POC and disabled persons cast, they literally add nothing to the series, AND NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT IT. Is just this endless praise for Neil and his oh big brain. All praise Neil Gaiman, our lord and saviour of queer people. HOW IT IS, THAT THE TWO LESBIANS HYPED ROMANCE WAS ALL RELATED TO AZIRAPHALE MEDDLING WITH THEM TRYING TO SHIP THEM? And it also was bad, very badly done, is really this the women representation we got, seriously??? Talking about misleading advertising.

S2 was such such a mess, it just shows how much Good Omens needed Terry to be, well, Good Omens. I really suspect Neil stole ideas from the fandom because S2 was just a trainwreck of all the fanfic tropes you could find in GO fandom and is almost disrespectful to Terry's work in Good Omens, and I don't care for how much Neil makes his friendship with Terry as a pity party and as a "it gives me so much joy, Terry would be so happy", because seriously it's almost manipulative. Talking about Manipulative. His meddling with fandom is starting to feel unprofessional, but this ask is already long... Sorry lmao, something on me snapped after getting finally the solid evidence that Neil .Is. Not. Great

Oh he’s always been completely unprofessional but since he types in a mixture of corporate-speak and “cool dad” talk his fanbase doesn’t notice.

Here’s the thing about Neil, he’s both petty and extremely insincere. People criticized lolicon sin his presence and he was so offended on the behalf of weirdos who pleasure themselves to Hentai depicting child molestation that he wrote a several paragraph long response dismissing simulated child pornography as simply being “icky speech” that should be protected by the sacred American constitution despite, you know, the fact he’s not even American so his weird obsession with the first amendment and only ever really bringing it up to defend simulated child porn is and always has been suspicious.

As for his backpedalling, the man sees $$$$ and just goes for anything he can find to make more. People love to say “oh but he donates tens of thousands to charity!” yeah, usually to HIS charity for bailing out pedophiles. With funds typically out of the wallets of his fans due to fundraising it rather than coming out of his own checkbook so it’s not exactly a charitable action as much as it’s an empty gesture. And frankly he almost certainly just does it for tax benefits if we’re going to be honest here. He continued good omens because it would make money and generate more attention towards him and he’d be the brave hero who brought back show that did well. That’s it.

He’s just discount, off-brand Elon. Rich white man who thinks he’s gods gift to man despite bumbling through even the most basic concepts because his fans would walk into traffic blindfolded to defend him from even the mildest of criticism.

People on here just like him because they’re starstruck that a creator of a popular IP is active on this site and because he produces media that’s adapted with white middle aged twinks who are dubiously romantically affiliated.

#How was his weird comments complaining about people calling the main characters gay not the end for him #’oh they’re played by male actors and in love but it’s NOT GAY because they Uhm have no gender and also no genitals so they don’t have sex’ #there’s nothing wrong with writing the characters that way #but it’s very weird to make a major fuss because you think ‘gay’ only means two cis men boinking #and frankly his protests read more like he wasn’t actually comfortable with the idea of showing two male presenting characters #in an intimate manner #and the weird language he sometimes uses to describe characters in his writing really makes me thing I’m right about that

for fuck's sake the reason harry isn't doing much promo for my policeman isn't because he's a queerbaiter or whatever but because the one time he did speak about the movie he said something so profoundly gay and hashtag relatable about hiding your identity and sexuality and the yearning that comes along with it that everyone was confused how this 'straight' man knew so much about being gay

#it's like you guys forget that he's literally closeted. #yeah some instances may be scheduling conflict #but all of you thinking you're onto something because he didn't show up for a promo thing on zoom. #bestie i don't know how else to tell you that he. is. closeted. #and because of that the way he speaks about his character speaks volumes about it #i don't know what devil harry made a deal with to even be able to play a gay character but i can tell you a hundred #percent that deal definitely including him not engaging in active direct promo about it #and you all really. really think that the director/producers who are queer themselves who managed to hire #talented award winning queer actors like emma corrin and david dawson. who seem to have given so much care into #making the film. would hire a ''queerbaiter''??? someone who at the time had half a minute of acting to his name and that too #as support cast? #come on by saying shit like that you're actually insulting the talent and judgement of so many people #you think emma and david would have been so lovey with harry if he was a ''queerbaiter''?? sorry but no. absolutely not #please use more than one braincell before saying shit like this #my policeman

i've said it before and i'll say it again- our casting for urinetown is so fucking funny because our prof literally picked the two biggest pacifistic stoners in the class, made them violent cops, and you can fucking tell that they're pacifistic stoners bro everyone's dancing and we're both wedged in separate corners reading books

#our bobby understudy will find the most unorthodox place to hang off of and that is where they will be for the whole scene #theyre chilling hanging off a ladder at one point #our hot blades harry is an anime kid #our bobby is a journalism major #both of the people playing bobbys parents are gay #our lockstock is a history buff and plays dnd #i play barrel but im scared of hurting spiders #urinetown #i love getting glimpses of the actors who play characters because its this wild moment of seeing how different they truly are and its FUN #bc you get to go “oh this person is actually really cool and chill and not mean and violent”

i am going to hate on Around The World in 80 Days (2021).

Not because of any "woke bullshit", in fact the only reason i chose to watch this version instead of another was because of the woke bullshit the negative reviews had promised me.

No, I want to complain about three things.

A) i was most definitely a Fix/Passepartout shipper when i read the book. however when they gender swapped fix, it was like oh. You've gender swapped this character for what? so you could make them heterosexual? Gender swap both, cowards.

B) Phileas Foggs whole personality... As well as some others, but we'll focus on him as he's the main character- the negative reviews had of course informed me that the show had "sucked out all his testosterone", but as an enjoyer of loser men, i was almost looking forward to that. No, but they've taken away everything that made him act like himself, he no longer acts cold, he acts like... Well, he acts like any David Tennant character (thats not a murderer, that is).

C) other then the personality, it was very inconsistent with the book? Again, not talking about Passepartout being Black or Fix being a women, I really dont mind that other then them being heterosexual, but I mean, what the fuck happened to Aouda?

Anyway sorry for complaining about this, im sure it was great to a lot of people, but as someone who had literally finished the book the same day i started watching, it was really annoying.

#No hate to any of the actors they did great #Its just that specifically david tennant wasny even playing the same character #Sorry mr tennant i love you and all but #Around The World in 80 days #phileas fogg #passepartout #abigail fix #Detective fix #jules verne #atwi80d #Passepartout x fix #Oh my god guys you should 100% read the book tho it is actually most certainly gay #david tennant #ibrahim koma #leonie benesch #Sorry but here me out Jude Law as Phileas Fogg #Im so right guys #Aouda #Isnt even a fuckin tag #Wheres the godamned book fandom

okay - i am seeing the rumblings on Carlos and the trope about promiscuous bi characters - I see you.

but I also - am trusting this week.

I am trusting Robbie and I am therefore trusting that the nuance will come - Carlos is set up to be pinning after Mary tbh - to turn into the overlook best friend trope I think.

The problems come when there are only single representations, and there are not a plethora of bisexual men on television, we never GET explicit bisexual representation that's not exploitative for the male gaze. On Buffy they wanted to make a prominent bisexual character but felt lucky to have permission to instead have a gay one. Rep is few and far between and complete and nuanced representation really requires more prominence on television, a variety of portrayals.

You cannot portray a rainbow using only a single color.

So clearly. The proper solution is to have more bi main characters on television. #MakeMaryBisexual2022 #CanonBiMary

#canon bisexual carlos #make mary bisexual 2022 #I know this is serious i simply do not have the capacity to be serious tonight #bisexual representation #carlos cervantez #the winchesters #right now i am more about wanting the show to continue and cheering representation than i am about needing that rep to be perfect RIGHT awa #i'm fine discussing it truly bc honestly if we dump on it at a larger scale right now these kinds of chances wont be taken at all #look at what is happening in the world look at desantis running for president look at dont say gay #we have a nonbinary actor playing a nonbinary bisexual or fluid character #i can trust robbie to make it better #bc he sincerely seems to care and this is not a one liner lip service this is an actual character #just let me be happy tonight lol #tw crack #bisexual discourse

[berternies]

i think jamie is gay. nothing but love and respect to everyone who hcs him as bi (which i very much understand and enjoy) but he simply is a closeted gay man to me

#ted lasso #jamie tartt #speak again bright angel #it’s not even that i think his attraction to women Seems Fake #bc like he’s being written/played as being into women and he’s a well written character and phil is a good actor so it IS believable #i just personally think him being gay makes sense and is interesting and adds another layer to his character #like his attraction to women being performative just Makes Sense To Me y’know #and i DO think he loves and cares for keeley very deeply i just don’t think those feelings are actually romantic #they should be besties is the thing #anyway. i love him.

[moodr1ng]

i keep forgetting about the brother from succession no one cares about or wants to fuck (connor) bc in my head like. ive seen a couple episodes of the show so enough to get his general vibe at first blush. and to me he has just blurred and become one with the characters of the loser rich brothers from knives out???? and so every time i see him im like, right, the guy from knives out.. in succession.. then i forget about him again.

#97 #honestly like all of these characters are fake to me i just confuse them for other characters #to me the sister is like the chick from dynasty the reboot #the girl whos played by jade from victorious. whatever. #and whatever the gay brothers name is? ronan or whatever?? #listen. every fucking show about a fucked up rich family has an eccentric morally bankrupt gay brother. #its established its passé. #isnt there one in dynasty actually isnt that a thing??? #anyway. #then the main guy is like.. #its just if patrick batemans actor had been like a sitcom actor isnt it. #is he supposed to be the main guy or is everyone just obsessed w him?

[bipaulinadlm]

oh holy shit they’re gonna let damiano gavino actually play a gay person on screen. After what they did with un professore he deserves it

#directors really saw what happened to the actors in merlí and un professore and said im so sorry would you like to actually play #gay characters who aren't like incredibly weird and repressed about it as payback #t

[sammygender]

wish you guys would start using nuance. condemning the attitude of ‘only queer actors should play queer characters’ isnt helpful queer is an umbrella term. say gay. trans people exist & it is fucked up when cis people play us

#im actually not necessarily THAT anti eg cis girls playing trans girls i just think it’s shitty cause it takes away from actual trans actors #but cis people playing trans people of the opposite gender BLEURGHH #anyway. i keep seeing posts that are like ‘THIS IS WHY THE MENTALITY OF ONLY QUEER PEOPLE PLAYING QUEER PEIPLE IS BAD’ #like yes obviously it’s regressive to say straight people shouldn’t play gay characters (but also no one has been saying this in any #seriousness like ever straight people CONSTANTLY play gay characters #but queer ≠ gay…..

[winglssdemon]

Img description: Is this a pigeon meme with the words "fans" on the left, "is this queerbaiting?" on the bottom, and "lgbtq characters existing in media but not ending up with the clearly straight characters."

#language actually has meanings #queerbaiting is actually when show writers producers and or actors play their characters extremely gay #where they keep hinting about it #specifically to keep you hooked because youre invested in said lgbt character #only for them to introduce cishet bullshit and end it with that #and then they act like the viewers were clearly in the wrong for being hooked in #its not oh this gay character has unrequited love with a straight character and hes sad #jfc

Propaganda

Cary Grant (The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, Charade)—just the peak of old-school Hollywood sexuality. The glam, the suits, the gentle wit, the acrobatics, those eyes that always looked like they knew exactly what movie they were in and were laughing at the joke...

Vincent Price (Laura, Leave Her to Heaven, House on Haunted Hill, The Masque of the Red Death)—svelte, stylish, horrifying, beautiful, wickedly funny, camp and gorgeous and evil. he was an art connoisseur who advocated passionately indigenous art, he was an actual literal gourmet cook, he was so liberal he got greylisted during the mccarthy era for being too rad, he's my favorite muppets guest of all time

This is round 4 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Vincent Price propaganda:

Submitted: this fancam

Submitted: this entire Tumblr page

Cary Grant propaganda:

"My Golden Age of Hollywood professor, who was very outwardly gay himself, put it this way: Even though Grant's sexuality was kind of an open secret in Hollywood, the public couldn't know in any real way. But anybody could see that there was a queerness about him, so he was casted for roles where he physically embodies his masculinity in a non-explicit but queer way. Bringing Up Baby is famous for the scene where Grant wears a frilly robe (pictured below, but what people don't always realise is that he plays kind of an awkward nerd in that movie. He's a hot awkward scientist in a grand robe!!! Hot!!! In The Philadelphia Story, one of my famous movies of all time, he plays C. K. Dexter Haven, a rich, sarcastic, supposedly abusive guy. And yet, what we see is this laid back, dandy-ish figure, who absolutely does not feel threatened when a woman he supposedly loves (Katharine Hepburn) starts having feelings for, and hooks up with another guy (James Stewart). He lets a drunk Stewart into his office and helps him get his job back! Obviously that is the script and not the actor, but the whole film, and that scene in particular, shows him having this very queer attitude of openness toward Hepburn and Stewart, which is only amplified by the casting of Grant and his portrayal of the character. Anyway, this is not an essay arguing for The Philadelphia Story to be considered a queer film, all I will say is: he's super hot in it."

The link to the above mentioned frilly robe scene from Bringing Up Baby: "I just went gay all of a sudden!"

last minute cary grant propaganda: the last few paragraphs of that new vanity fair article about him and randolph scott that just came out 2 days ago on cary's birthday where he calls it "gravity collapse" and "love at first sight" and says their souls touched and and and i'm actually sharing this mostly because it makes me emotional but also because a vote for archibald is a vote for love. this is my message. apologies for sounding mildly insane.

[undreaming-fanfiction]

I am massively busy with work and finalizing my Big Bang, but this idea just won't leave...

Steve and Eddie are both actors. They're in their mid thirties, well established, but they never starred together in anything. Steve tends to be cast in the same type, the dumb but pretty love interest, Eddie has lots of indie and disturbing movies under his belt. But this time, they both landed something big.

They get cast in the new Batman movie.

Steve is, of course, Batman. He insists on doing his own stunts. He refuses to get dehydrated for his shirtless scenes because he knows how damaging it is to both young men and women alike, he's not going to contribute to shitty expectations. The director (Dustin, duh!) sees something in him other directors never have - a potential for depth, for internal turmoil. He gives Steve the chance to prove himself as an actor and Steve pounces on it.

He's still very hot.

Eddie is cast as the Joker. He is a fan of the comics and scoffs at how absurd and deranged the character is becoming. He gets hired because he immediately says he doesn't think the character needs to rely on cheap tricks and shock value to be terrifying. Cutting off his face? Not cool. He suggests to play the Joker according to one of the older comics he has - one where the Joker is actually absolutely sane, but hides it to never be held accountable for his actions. The only person who ever saw through his ruse was Dr. Harleen Quinzel. Joker took care of that issue very quickly.

The chemistry between Steve and Eddie on screen is insane. They go toe to toe, it's impossible to look away when they interact. Eddie utilizes his bright smile to the maximum, tweaking it just right within moments so it becomes unsettling. The first time he laughs, Steve gets goosebumps.

Steve encompasses Bruce's loneliness so well Eddie's heart breaks for him. Dustin finds him in the trailer, giving himself gentle slaps over the face and muttering "you're evil, damn it, you don't want to comfort the Bat!!".

Batgirl (Robin) and Harley Quinn (Chrissy) find their slow descent into love hilarious. They all become good friends on the set.

Hopper, an acting veteran who plays Commissioner Gordon, grasps Steve's shoulder after an intense fight scene and mutters: "Good job, Steve, but maybe don't stare at his lips so much?"

Robin doesn't give him the same courtesy and once Dustin yells "Cut!", she screeches: "NOW KISS!"

The movie is a hit. People love the cast and the story, some of the OG fans complain as they always do, but the ratings are great, there are many interviews, panels, all of that.

And of course, there's gossip about Steve and Eddie being a thing, which enrages the macho Batman fanbase. Their Batman isn't gay!

But the rumors quickly disappear after an award ceremony where Eddie is nominated for the best supporting actor. He wins, of course. And as he gets up to accept the small statue and deliver a speech with enough "fuck"s to give the censor a headache, he drags Steve up and kisses him in front of the whole world.

A week later, Steve and Eddie are together in front of a camera again, answering questions in an interview.

The host asks: "What do you say to those fans that are disappointed, who say that their Batman isn't gay?"

Steve just snorts, pulls Eddie closer and answers: "They're right. Their Batman isn't gay. But he's definitely bi."

Also the comic story I'm mentioning exits and is short but fantastic. 10/10 recommend.

Oh also. The first spark happens when Steve sees Eddie's hair and blurts out: "Please tell me they're not making you cut it shorter. It's too gorgeous for that."

Also because people were asking about the comics - it's Batman Black and White - Case Study and it can be found on Tumblr HERE

oh man i am just beyond angry about this kit connors shit and i feel so fucking horrible for him.

queerbaiting is a MARKETING technique. not real fucking people acting on a fucking tv show.

#acey talks #i’m sorry but if you google queerbaiting you’ll learn it’s not a person acting #but people behind marketing and advertising full on using queer people and or ships to PROMOTE their shit #tv show posting abt favorite gay couple that isn’t actually gay and won’t ever be gay? queerbaiting #and actor on a show that happens to play a gay or bi character but does not owe anyone their sexuality? NOT queerbaiting
