>>71750424

>>71750374
He's got a point that I figured you fags would agree with.
Why make a formerly straight character gay just for the fuck of it? Make your own gay character instead of shitting on established canon just to appease gays.
Why does Hollywood keep portraying Asian characters as either nerdy or gay?
Hello boner
>>71750645

and because it better explores the modern idea that sexuality is not really something that defines you, that "homosexual" is much more of an adjective than a noun.
if you invented a new character for it, it would be "that gay character, X" as opposed to "Sulu, who is gay".
>>71750374
It doesn't matter what he or any other gay people think. When white liberals make their minds up to "support" minorities, they will do it in the most narcissistic and self-serving way. They want to force diversity in everything so as to assuage some weird sense of guilt, even when actual gay people say that the diversity won't make sense. In this case the big bad white straight man literally told a minority "too bad, you're opinion sucks, we want diversity in this stupid way". It's unreal how this still doesn't register with white liberals.
>>71750691

I agree. Instead of creating new characters, they change old ones.
Surprised they wouldn't bother talking it over with Takei first.
It just shows the problem with Hollywood not giving a shit about the stories and characters they remake. I'm surprised at Pegg.
>>71750999
Except Sulu wasn't gay.
They're taking an attribute of the actor and imposing it on the character.
Should have said sulu's kid is gay

exactly. he did not deserve a sticky. he was a hack. His best role was that one episode on the simpsons where he was on the screen for like 1 minute
>>71750645
Nimoy at least directed a few succesful movies
>>71750374
He's Japanese, they demure from attention as a rule. It took him until he was nearly seventy to come out publicly, remember.
>>71750424
It's hard to overcome an iconic role. Just ask William Shatner about that. The work Takei is probably most proud of in his life is not his acting, but his activism. Not just for LGBT causes, but especially for Japanese-Americans, as he's worked since the '70s as a voice for those who were interred during WW2 for no reason besides their ethnicity.
>>71751671
kek
this is the end
>>71751766
>It took him until he was nearly seventy to come out publicly
This is a lie. Takei's sexuality was known amongst Star Trek fans, he was openly a member of LGBT organizations, etc... He hadn't "announced" it because he felt there was no reason to and when he did announce it the reason was bans on gay marriage.

Does this open the way for Spock/Sulu, aka SS? Spock as an inherently logical being knows that sexual attraction is arbitrary and that Cho is beautiful.
>>71751257
Sexuality is literally irrelevant to the character of Sulu. All he has to do is fly the ship. If he wants to fuck male butts on the holodeck more power to him. Just keep it to himself.
>>71751929
Lately, liberal education literally praise students for being black
>>71751939
Yes, but Spock would also know that logically there's no reason to have a sexual relationship with another male.

Remember when they relieved iron man was really a closeted black child? Truly progressive and powerful.

Gay isn't that common. Asians are usually portrayed as nerds or criminals.

progressives don't understand "Sulu, who is gay".also lets face it realistically being gay is always a big part of ones identity, its not like being black where you can move to a black country. gays are an eternal minority so they group together to make hook ups easy and make mini societies.

Hey anon i heard you were black, congratulations ;^)
>>71750691
There needs to be more loud mouthed racists, like real Asians
The only problem with Sulu being gay is that it feels like they're going "Hey he was played by a homo before so lets make him a homo now!" Having a gay main character seems like something Star Trek would have done in the 60s if they could actually get away with it. And if it was some side character he'd probably just get shot in the face and make SJWs colossally pissed, so this seems like the best way to do it honestly.

Boo fucking hoo this is literally an alternate universe reboot where Spock is boning Uhura and Chapel literally only comes up when Kirk talks about fucking her and being such an asshole afterwards that she requested a transfer or something. Sulu liking dick despite having a single canon moment of straight sex with some amazon in one of the spin off books from TOS isn't exactly unexpected given how these movies don't really give a shit about being faithful to TOS past hamfisted references to the most common jokes.

That's the thing, it *theoretically* was.
He knew that in actuality they were doing it to try to look good and get praise and possible viewership from certain people, and maybe also for self-serving reasons. He's committed to this universe, and he can see as well as most people that this has no use for Sulu's character development, and personal information that has no use in developing the character, the plot, or the situation has no business being in a story.

This is typically the line I support in this sort of thing, and it's not the way most ultra "progressives" want things to go.
Frankly, the past, or in this case a canonical character, should not be censored or retconned in order to fulfill an ill-defined quota for a particular group, just because they demand it. Amend instead of censoring the past.
Like when people were clamoring to have Harriet Tubman's portrait replace Alexander Hamilton's face on the $10 billWhy not create a new coin or a new denomination of banknote with her on it?

>>71756302
Honestly, it's baffling why people don't just do this in general. We can even take a character who wasn't changed to serve any political agenda: Lex in BvS. If you are going to make a character so radically different than their previous incarnations, why not just make a new character? What is the benefit in riding on the name of an older, per-established character? In the case of Star Trek, it seems completely retarded to retcon a character, especially after all these years, to serve some random political agenda. They could get way more mileage out of just creating a new character, but I suppose that would require real effort, rather than saying something that most people will ignore.
This isn't because they want to try and make a good character its because they want to take a good character and make them gay so they can say LOOK A WELL WRITTEN GAY CHARACTER, IF WE TAKE A NON GAY CHARACTER AND SAY HES GAY THAT MAKES HIM A GOOD CHARACTER.
Thats why Takei is upset.
>>71756575
Absolutely. And now that I think about it, it's curious to think about the cases when this has more or less been accepted. There have been God only knows how many new, different, "original" takes on Sherlock Holmes in the past decade, making him on the autism spectrum, living in modern NYC, being an action-movie hero. Not sexuality-specific, but some characters seem to get a free pass whenever they're retooled.

The bottom line is if they make a character gay for the sake of having a gay character, it's just an obnoxious political statement that has nothing to add to the story.
It's like purposefully making a white character black. It's racist because you bring skin color into something that has nothing to do with skin color.
Pretty sure the only people that appreciate this type of really really lazy retcon pandering are the same ones that believed they were saving the world by insisting that there were a racially diverse cast of kids in the color pictures for every lesson in my math textbooks.
Students were like, "the textbook is 620 pages and costs 340 dollars, I don't need random pictures of a white girl, white boy, an asian boy, a mexican boy, black kid in a wheel chair, and a chubby jewish kid printed next to every word problem to learn maths"
Those people heard this and printed another edition where the asian boy was also gay. Now it's 648 pages and costs 385 dollars.
