Why are there no/few examples positive, non-stereotype representation of gay males in popular media? There are plenty for lesbians... I mean, I understand why str8 guys would want to see two girls go at it, and why lesbianism is "cute" for the mainstream...

But at the same time, if there was more shows like Blue is the Warmest Color and games like Life is Strange that featured two cute guys, with one taking the submissive role, and the other the dominant, homosexuality would be more approved of.

Historically, prior to Christianity, homosex was common, so long as traditional gender roles were upheld...

Lesbians have straight man privilege
It's nearly as normal for them to creep on girls as it is for men to.
>>
>>6284300
Funny that you say this. As a straight man I consider lesbians to basically be perfectly normal. Why wouldn't someone want a qt gf? But if a guy is gay then that's, you know, pretty gay. Obviously this is from my own biased perspective but I'm wondering if anyone else knows what I'm talking about.

Women don't lose any femininity by sexing up a woman.

They only lose it by being a bull dyke.

Few women walk in on a guy taking it in the ass and find themselves wanting to fucking the guy getting his ass plowed.

Non-masculine men are only enjoyable in short bursts. They can pop in a be like "Biiiiitch", then you get tired of them. This is why on Modern Family you only see so much of the gay couple.

I think that's the genius of Modern Family. There's a slow burning tension that is subtle but there. Essentially everyone on the show is such a huge goddamn faggot except for the old guy and his wife. The entire show you are watching these effeminate Dumphy's, Gays and Kids flail their gay little arms around until finally the two alphas show up and say "stop being such goddamned faggots, this is how you be a fucking adult, now we are going to fuck and you kids be quiet."
>>
There are two types of men. Or there should be...

1. Strong, confident and masculine men who marry women and have kids with their wives but fuck femboys and eunuchs on the side
2. Femboys.

2 lesbians is seen as cute and pure, like two virgin women who will never whore around with men; only other women, and will eventually settle down with a man.
And besides lesbian sex being hot to men, lesbians don't make straight men uncomfortable (even if they aren't 'porn' lesbians), as to whether they make straight women uncomfortable? no one really cares.

Gay men are seen as dirty and degenerate. No normies are really interested in seeing two men together, as to straight men, its gross, and to straight women, it makes the man look feminine and friendzoned therefore unattractive. (there are exceptions ie; fat fujoshi girls who are rejected by straight men)
>>
>>6284173
It's kind of a bait and switch. They'll give you lesbians cause it's cute and gay points all that but don't often let them live happy. Someone dies. Drama breaks them up. One goes for the dick instead.

But ultimately lesbians are just safer. Some hardcore anti-gays might roll their eyes a go "ugh all this homosexuality in my pure straight media" but poltards aren't gonna bitch up a storm about think of the children if there's lesbians as much as they are if there's gays.

There are some media examples of gay men though. Broke Back Mountain came out way before Blue Is the Warmest Color as the ultimate gay romance movie.

We just need good representations of femboys in the media so that we have good role models to look up to. Maybe it can make more guys into fucking us as well
>>
>>6284879
Exactly. If you're going to be gay, be a femboy. Otherwise, just be a normal masculine guy who fucks femboys and marries/imgregnates women. The Greeks, Japanese, etc. knew what was the proper order.

And if you're going to be a femboy, don't talk with a fucking lisp or become a tranny... Just embrace your feminity without going overboard.

There's nothing more upsetting for society then two guys doing it. Because it shows how the world really doesn't need femininity and to many that is a very scary thought so they hold on to very frail ideals. But it'll come crashing down soon. Soon.

That's literally your answer.
It's not about progression, it's not about tolerance or acceptance, it's marketing to the audience.
An audience that would rather we did not exist, and thus does not want to be confronted with our existence.
Thus we're never in a movie unless we die unhappy unloved in a gruesome way.
Which ironically is a pretty accurate depiction of reality.

That "acceptance" was bare tolerance at best and usually ignored/frowned upon.
>It can be again.
Bullshit. Christianity isn't gonna leave anytime soon, islam isn't gonna leave either, and their intolerance will echo through the world for generations to come.
Your little acceptance has more chance to succeed in the year 3016, that is if they didn't manage to eradicate homosexuality by then, which is something they obviously will.

because there isn't really a point to including a gay character unless you're including them just to say "oh look how inclusive we are we have a gay character"

Approximately 2% of the human male population are gay. Why would you try to appeal to such a small demographic when you're trying to sell shit. Stereotypical male homosexuals are amusing to most people, which is why the stereotype is used.

You sound like you feel you're being oppressed by the man, literally tumblr tier and this sounds pretty damn pathetic.

It would be if I hold hypocritical views, blame only one group in particular for the general state of human misery, hated western society (which is the only one where we have a decent life) and weren't completely oblivious to my own paranoid delusions.

Which is a minority. And of that minority there's a minority that sincerely likes us, compared to the neutral or hostile rest.
>especially if we don't make sucking cock a massive part of our identity and keep our degeneracy to ourselves.
aka being invisible and pretending you don't exist, never speaking about your private life and introducing your same sex husband/wife as your "partner" or "a friend".
The whole "I'm alright with it as long as you keep it in your bedroom" ends with them standing in your bedroom telling you to just not do gay things at all.

Really, all we have are a bunch of facebook slacktivists.

And let's not forget that your "minority of straight" is thankfully only the case in civilised Europe. A civilised Europe that already excludes half of continental Europe because they're uneducated uncivilised slav trash.
And that's not even getting into the hellholes called Africa, the Middle East and South America, where straight friends don't actually exist without you living in a 10 mm steel bullet proof armored closet.

Because you're just looking at oppression in a general sense in society. Of course it's fucking 2016 and everyone outside has a 'live and let live' attitude which actually translates to I don't really give a shit about what others do.

>being oppressed when the hostile straights are only a minority.

What if that minority is an LGBT child's family and they abuse and disown them, do you not consider that oppression because 'most people aren't hostile'?

I live in a fairly liberal area and even I get weird stares and people calling me fag once in a while, I don't consider to be oppression by any means but it definitely has a negative psychological effect. Ignoring this by appealing to 'but the majority aren't like that' is just irresponsible

You lack self reflection.

You don't actually have any arguments.

Ok, but then you go on to post a picture that says LGBT will never be accepted by the majority? Doesn't this reinforce the view that LGBT are oppressed?

Fine, "oppression" exists, but it always will be for as long as there is some bigoted cunt in this world who doesn't accept you for who you are.

You can say that the oppression for whites, blacks and asians exists but they're really none-issues in a modern society.

Why can't femboys be shown as detailed characters with the full range of human emotions while also being cute and fuckable?

That's pretty stereotype desu. All this gay "culture" crap, with flamboyancy should be avoided; despite being unfortunately accurate, it's unimaginative, mildly offensive, and an overplayed trope that shows the writer lacks any ability or willpower to flesh out a character as a unique individual.

Also, all of these films seem sappy, where the focus of the characters' personalities and the story is "homosexual male BAWWWW".
I'm tired of it, you're tired of it, we're all tired of it. Don't we want to see a same-sex male family getting terrorised and murdered one by one in a horror game, or a slasher/thriller movie where a guy has to save his boyfriend from an evil organisation that want XYZ? Romance is dead as a genre.
