What fight? I was just clarifying history. What part of your ambiguous characterization of what happened here do you lament having to face criticism or correction?

Seriously, if my language was too brusque I apologize. But I wasn't trying to start a fight. Rather trying to clarify some that could start a fight unnecessarily if left uncommented.

I mean, it seems like this entire thread exists to try to start a fight, and plenty of other people appear ready to oblige. Don't know why my remarks were singled out.

What's an 'opening gay character' ?

A characters who's gay and opens the movie?

The opening weekend take for this movie was far from gay.

No, they didn't seem extra fruity after the movie. Although maybe they will be.....at least then I won't have to deal with boys coming over.

I've likely been exposed to a few more people up in arms then you it seems. :) I listened to a morning show that mentioned something about it a couple weeks ago (Johnny Dare?). Then a specific facebook "I'll never watch another Disney movie again" was fresh in memory. Maybe I overblew the overblown. schmeh.

I understand that, at this point, some people seem 'up in arms.'

My only point was that there is a difference between if these people are up in arms because they watched the movie and decided that some of the characters looked too swishy for them on their own, and if they're up in arms because the creators are giving interviews about how proud they were to make a gayed-up kids movie.

Thus my gripe about passive voice. Someone[s] did something. Things didn't just happen.

It's not the 'this was overblown.' It's either 'the audience has overreacted' or 'the creators have overhyped.'

All the bullshit i saw was weeks before it was even released. So I doubt they actually saw it.

You didn't see bullshit. You saw responses to idiots involved in the project would couldn't/wouldn't just keep their ****ing mouths shut, and who felt the need to gay up a non-gay story.

Man, you keep fighting the good fight. We need to make sure that nobody gets gay by seeing a movie, that shit's contagious. Next thing you know they'll be putting people of color in Disney movies and the whole shootin match is lost! The entire goddamned world is gonna be nothin but gay black people.

It almost ruins the entire plot by diverging from the wholesome children's story about a young woman falling in love with a much older chimera man-buffalo-monster. It's the gayification of America...

People are funny that way. Some understand that a chimera man-buffalo-monster doesn't really exist, and is never, on it's own, anything more than a plot point, while homosexuality is real, and some equate them as if they have equal weight in a discussion about people's offended morals.

I'm not fighting anything. You, perhaps, have me confused with someone else.

Chimerism actually is a plot point in the story. Homosexuality is not a plot point in the film at all. It's not even implied. That's why your claims of people in the project who "couldn't/wouldn't just keep their ****ing mouths shut, and who felt the need to gay up a non-gay story" sounds pretty dumb. You're the one sounding like your morals are offended.
