LGBT propaganda... Funny how people who have been gobbling up propaganda about something, always think "the other side" is the one producing the actual propaganda
And yes, i see the irony of this statement
But some dudes kissing in a movie is not propaganda
- drdeca 10mo agoIsn’t whether or not something is propaganda determined by the intent of those producing or distributing it? If the intent of someone including two men kissing in a movie is to promote approval of homosexual relationships, OR is to promote the idea that men kissing doesn’t imply homosexuality, then that’s propoganda, but if the intent is just “the movie sells better if there’s a scene pandering to yaoi fangirls”, or “the screenwriter found something that happened with two guys they know to be compelling”, then it isn’t propaganda, right?
- jaapz 10mo agoYou're probably right, but my main point was that it's funny that people who have been spoon fed propaganda about something always think the opposite of what they now believe is the actual propaganda Honestly, pretty impressive by the russian government how they are able to do that Then again, in many cultures (even in more tolerant ones like here in the netherlands) there's always somewhere a latent hatred and/or disgust towards LGBT. So maybe it's nit that hard to bring that back to the surface after all

- jacquesm 10mo agoWould you believe that in some countries it never happens at all! Overrepresentation compared to what?
- nutjob2 10mo agoSo you believe in quotas in "mass media", so that homosexuals aren't over-represented? Or you just think it's a conspiracy to turn everyone gay? Trying to control the free market of ideas seems a bit oppressive.
- miroljub 10mo agoSystematic overrepresentation in media is already a control. Which also make it oppressive.
- nutjob2 10mo agoOK so you think it's a conspiracy. But how do you know it's "overrepresentation"? It's media not a strict reflection of population. Anyway, so you don't like gay people, but tough luck. Just like you can like or dislike whoever you want, people can like and talk about whoever they want. Sorry to break it to you but its not a conspiracy it's just modern society.
- miroljub 10mo agoWow. Interesting. I just mentioned overrepresentation, which is a fact that even you can't deny, and you go to such lengths to frame me as a conspiracy theorist and gay hater. I can even read hate in your writing tone. Why? What makes you so aggressive? What makes you hate someone who points out obvious facts? What is the reason for your denial and hate?
- nutjob2 10mo agoYou're doing the old Soviet thing of accusing people of the thing you're doing. Did you use to live in that environment? Everything you say is unfounded and makes little sense. You seem to be read things that are not there. I'm just saying that what you think is an acceptable amount of gay "representation" does matter and that it merely reflects your own biases. Your views don't matter in this respect because if you live in a free country the media can "represent" anything it likes and if you don't like it you can turn it off. And complain about it I guess. That's what it's all about freedom. Preserving freedom. Trying to take away other people's freedom to express themselves is not what its about.
