It's also called playing to your audience. When at least half, if not closer to 3/4, the audience for most of those types of movies is straight guys then why would you include scenes of gay men making out? Its not a matter of hating gay people, generally guys just don't want to see other guys going at it. Now if it had been two women then no one would care or everyone would love it.

The gay population is about 4.5% so if you were to say half are men half are women that leaves 2.25% plus the few women that get turned on by guy on guy stuff, so maybe 5% of your audience would like it. Now on the reverse you take that 2.25% gate women and take into account surveys have shown over 70% of guy's number one fantasy is a 3some, then that's at least 75% of your audience that would like two women making out.

TLDR, most people don't hate gays, as witnessed by the majority support for same sex marriage now, they would rather just see two chicks making out instead of two guys.


This is a horrible argument. Anime titty lovers and weeb fans are also a minority, perhaps even more so than gay movie goers. The average person wouldnt care or outright supports video game characters being less sexualized as can be seen by more and more studios appealing to a more prude crowd. Arguing ad populum is counter to an anti-censorship stance which I know you hold. In fact, popularity is the weapon for censorship if the majority of people think its gross then it shouldnt be shown, so you using that is extremely short-sighted.

Plus downplaying the gay population like he did is a dogwhistle.
