Followers of HBO’s The Final of Us who didn’t like a gay-themed episode are homophobes, per the present’s co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin.

One episode of the newest zombie apocalypse TV present centered on a few middle-aged Homosexual guys, survivalists who meet and fall deeply in love throughout the apocalypse. This “romantic” episode has nothing to do with the principle story that follows stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. It’s a type of side-street episodes “Status TV” exhibits generally takes to indicate how prestigious they’re.

Effectively, the episode was hit with a backlash. Followers of the present attacked it as filler and pointless. And so, as a result of it’s the 2020s and Hollywood solely hires individuals who hate their very own prospects, the Final of Us showrunner just isn’t rethinking how he delivers his product to his prospects. No, he’s attacking his prospects as bigots who don’t just like the “homosexual stuff:”

“Some folks didn’t like Episode 3 as a result of, you realize, homosexual stuff. After which they type of retroactively try to provide you with a [different and inoffensive] cause why,” co-creator and co-showrunner Craig Mazin stated in an interview with IndieWire, “[But] one of many complaints I noticed was, ‘Oh, it’s only a filler episode. It doesn’t advance the story.’ And I used to be like, ‘I believe this episode advances the story greater than another episode we’ve got’ — as a result of it’s not plot, it’s Character. It’s the letter Invoice leaves behind to Joel that powers the remainder of the present.”

So, as you possibly can see, it’s not even potential that this episode was a nasty thought — that three episodes into your premiere season, folks had been sincerely postpone whenever you took a pretentious aspect avenue. No, no, no, the present isn’t the issue. One other freaken present bringing all the things to a halt to show its woke bonafides isn’t the issue. The infallible and virtuous Craig Mazin actually isn’t the issue. Nope…

The followers are the issue.

Extra to the purpose: the homophobic followers are the issue.

Whether or not it’s TV, books, films, or sure sorts of music, all of it comes down to 1 factor: with the ability to relate to the characters. Should you can’t relate, you lose curiosity, you try emotionally, and that’s when no matter it’s turns into boring.

I’m sorry, however 98 % of human beings can not relate to homosexuality. That doesn’t imply it’s a must to exclude homosexual characters. However when your homosexual characters are solely about their id, about their sexuality — which is all we see at present — we will’t relate. Once we’re informed this character is particular and virtuous solely due to their sexuality — which is all we see at present – you’ve created a one-dimensional, uninteresting character nobody cares about, which suggests we lose curiosity.

If you wish to know how one can create an unforgettable, dynamic, sympathetic, iconic homosexual character, watch Canine Day Afternoon (#40 on my checklist). Al Pacino’s Sonny Wortzik is so brilliantly constructed that after it’s revealed he’s a gay, he doesn’t turn out to be a joke. As an alternative, he turns into much more sympathetic as a result of we perceive his desperation and relate to his standing as a misfit and outsider.  Watch the Homosexual Vito episodes in The Sopranos or Sal episodes in Mad Males. Hollywood was truly doing this proper earlier than it drove off the rails into woketardery. And woketardery is certainly exemplified by: We interrupt our common programming to deliver you homosexual stuff.  

And when precisely did it turn out to be controversial for heterosexuals to say they don’t wish to watch homosexual intercourse? That is one more instance of our fascist tradition. You might be as broad-minded on the subject of homosexual rights as potential. You’ll be able to consider in and struggle for homosexuals to be included in your reside and let reside philosophy all day lengthy, however should you don’t wish to watch a few furry guys get it on, you’re nonetheless a bigot.

I’ll inform you proper now that if this Craig Mazin man is straight, he is uncomfortable watching two guys have intercourse. How do I do know this? As a result of human nature is human nature, that’s how. I couldn’t care much less how consenting adults reside their lives. However that’s not sufficient anymore. Now, I’ve to observe how they reside their lives and lie about how I discover it lovely and inspiring.

Forcing folks to lie is a solution to maintain them down, to humiliate and demoralize them.

You realize, I’ve been spilling opinions on-line for practically 20 years and, till not too long ago, by no means stated a phrase about how watching homosexual intercourse makes me uncomfortable. First, it was a type of truths that served no function apart from insulting and stirring issues up. Secondly, I had no cause to talk that reality. Nobody was demanding I watch and approve. Nobody was demanding I lie. However now that they’re demanding I lie, I’ll by no means shut up this or all the opposite stuff they demand we lie about. So right here I am going once more…
