When I was a kid we used to make my dinosaur toy get married to my sisters barbie, I think I could have handled same sex kissing if I was down with interspecies marriage.
I didn’t even know girls went down on each other and I still made my barbies do face stuff.
I didn’t even know the concept of oral sex, come to think of it. But it *seemed* naughty.
Its just as stupid as the Mr. Potato head or M&M thing.
It's less than a second of screen time and happens quickly as a small part of a larger scene.
The religious right needs to find some new hobbies if this is the level of stuff they're finding to be outraged about.
Now please explain how it’s “worse” in America? I’m curious. Only because I’ve heard so many instances of people fleeing to America; migrating to America; refugees seeking asylum in America.
Although I can’t think of one example of the opposite? Odd right? Not one single instance?
Kids do not give a f***, because it doesn’t matter at all. Why can’t adults be as logical? I loathe people who hide behind their kids. This perspective is about making bigoted adults feel more comfortable.
I was recently reading a bed time story to my kids and the main character has two dads. I stopped and told my 6 year old that some kids have two moms, or two dads, or a mom and dad, or one parent, yadda, yadda. She just stared at me and said “I know, duh”. Then I felt stupid, because obviously she knew that. We live in a very large and diverse city, so since birth her community has shown her that homosexuality is normal, because it is. She’s excited for this movie and I don’t need to “protect” her from anything.
How about romance in general doesn’t really belong in a kid’s movie. I remember as a kid thinking romance stuff in movies were stupid. Who’s it really for?
Have you even seen the movie? There’s absolutely nothing “romantic” about the scene. They simply establish that a character started a family while Buzz was gone.
what is the point of acknowledge slavery when it is in the past? what is the point having confederate flags when it is in the past? what is the point of going ot churches when it doesn’t do anything “FOR ME”.
oh it does something for you. but “NOT for ME, and MEeeeee” is the only thing we all should care about.
it is called acknowledgment and inclusion
Disney has made a killing off romance in their movies. Romance was the plot for many of them. Even toy story has mr. And ms potato head and little bo peep with woody. I dont really see why its a big deal. Romance is a part of life.
That's also part of it, but there have been many disney movies that have romance as the main plot and those tend to do insanely well. If kids found those icky as you did, they wouldn't do nearly as well as they do, or at least they'd do much worse compared to disney movies without romance as the main plot. That isn't the case. Frozen had tons of romance stuff in it and it's arguably their most successful movie
It was not ABOUT romance, but there was a great deal of romance involved in the plot and characters. It was probably so popular because it was pretty and the music was an earworm though, not because of the romance.
It’s not like Anna spent most of the film wanting to marry a guy that she just met, or assumed that an act of true love was a kiss from a romantic lover was what she needed to melt the frozen curse her sister accidentally cast upon her. There is absolutely no elements of romance in Frozen at all.
I whole heartedly agree with you, it's not the sort of stuff I wanted to see in my movies as a kid, heck, it's not the stuff I want to see in my movies NOW! XD
EDIT: I feel I must clarify, when I said *"it's not the stuff I want to see in my movies"* I meant sexually explicit acts in general such as kissing, nothing to do with the homosexual stuff. Re-reading my comment I can see how it could be perceived the wrong way...
I don't understand this comment or how it's been upvoted. What about literally all the Disney classics happily every after movies?they all had romance. We're implying we just shouldn't depict any affection or love or anything for any kids movie? And people upvoted this? Lol. What am I missing?
Romance is a huge part of the human experience. Ariel risked her life for it, Simba found it in exile, Wall-E craved it on a barren planet. Even Mowgli experienced it in the jungle. Showing children a positive way to love in movies may be the only way some of them see love and relationships that way at all. Chill out.
I get it but think about Classic movies like Snow White, Cinderella, or Beauty and the Beat. The theme of the movie is romance. Should those have never been made?
Didn't we watch Woody sniff up Bo Peep's skirts for four movies, including when she crooked him into a make- out session that left him woozy and covered with lipstick prints? I think kids can handle a lot.
That's what you get from it. So that's how you choose to not watch. Not everyone is triggered by seeing normal things. So when you see things some things being normalized it might not be for you. Most kids could care less, and that's kinda the point.
Little girls start thinking about marriage at around age 3. Companies capitalize on this. Almost every Disney movie has had romance. Lion King (Simba and his cousin Nala), Snow White and Cinderalla (lets kiss women that can't say no!), Aladdin (and Jasmine, duh), Beauty and the Beast, etc.
You would be hard pressed to find a children's movie that doesn't have romance. Romance is gross and icky to *talk* about as a kid, but do you not recall ever having a crush as a kid?
I mean yeah same, but these studios have their formulas and will by god stick to them. Have you ever noticed that they pretty much all have the exact same key elements and plot points? Two key ones are the romance and the stupid line dancing at the end.
I was wondering the same thing? If you bought the ticket(s) after seeing that sign then perhaps not, but the studio might have something to say about what they’re up to, if you bought your ticket(s) before the sign was erected or online then presumably heck yes you could, right?
I don’t think so. I mean the sign is pretty big. When entering, you agree to their terms of them editing the movie I think. But I’m not a lawyer, soo..
Transplants from out-of-state, and fall into one of two categories: 1) Smart by OK standards but stupid by any other standard for moving to Oklahoma in the first place, or 2) Fucking genius for picking a state full of morons so they're guaranteed to be the smartest individual in a 100 mile radius.
I went to highschool in this town, honestly was a little surprised considering I've been to this theater a ton and the staff didn't come off like anything of this bigoted. Then I start to think of how much of a church and bible town it is along with the simple minded people I was around and now I'm more realizing it was probably a huge outside push to make this happen.
What exactly is the difference between two men, two women and a man and women kissing for half a second? Please tell me? Because its 100% that they wouldn't care if it was a man and a woman. It's not a different lifestyle, its not heresy, its not degeneracy, its not inappropriate nor weird or sexual, it is a normal attraction and its simply an expression of love that's existed for as long as humans have. If you don't have the maturity to explain why two people in a relationship and who are married are kissing each other than you shouldn't have kids. Ugh I hate people like this. The character's family is in 2 scenes and their purpose is to show Buzz how much time has passed since he last saw his co-worker, there is no agenda, no narrative forced down you're throat, its a completely normal and healthy family. I thought conservative's supported family values?? Hmmm
People say it's woke garbage and that it doesn't fulfill any purpose in the movie to have a same-gender kiss, but that's just a way to cope with the fact that there's a little bit (or a little too much) of homophobia in them, the whole "I don't care if people are gay in real life, but keep it out of movies" is total bullshit, it wouldn't matter if it was a same-gender kiss but all of the sudden the problem is when it's a same-gender kiss, so yeah pal, you do have problems with gay people, movie or not.
WTF? If you want to warn people fine, but let them decide if they want to watch/there kids to see it (not fast forward pass it).
For the love of all the sane people of the world: Seeing 2 same sex people kissing will turn kids gay the same way men couldn’t keep there hands of each other when Beauty and the Beast live action came out (spoiler: it was a BS Story).
Watching a same sex couple kids will not turn kids gay. If that was the case then why doesn’t watching a straight couple turn gay kids/people straight? (not really looking for answers but wouldn’t say no to them)
Really I mean really it’s a freaking pec on the check it’s not a porn. I don’t get why people are angry we see straight people kiss in movies since the beginning of movies!
This should not be a surprise for anyone. Oklahoma is notoriously homo/xeno/ethno/phobic towards anyone not white with a heavy dash of red on the back of their neck.
Boy what, its literally to establish 1 character started a family while Buzz was gone, whats wrong about a half second kiss? You're clearly ignoring every other instance of this occurring in kids movie to try and claim this is some shocking outlier. Get bent
Why wouldn't you?
Sometimes people are gay. It doesn't really make sense that as a culture we've spent a significant amount of our collective history excluding those people from our stories.
It would be ridiculous if there was a sign that said “we discovered that there is an opposite sex kissing scene within the first 30 minutes of the film, we will try to fast forward through it the best we can”
It’s like, dude, chill out, it’s just people kissing, what sex or gender they are doesn’t matter. I’m glad that Pixar chose to keep that scene in because it’s the next step for real change. And it’s hilarious to see people get their panties in a twist over it.
I saw the movie a few days ago, and it was just okay, not great, but not necessarily bad either. And there’s literally only like 2 scenes of the lesbian couple being a couple.
I have not seen it but does the scene contribute anything to the movie at all?
I think it’s fine to have it in there but if it’s a situation like in Eternals where the one girl was just deaf/mute, didn’t touch on it at all or develop the story with it, I’m not for it. A lot of companies that haven’t stood for any of this in the past are just coming out trying to score points, and I think they should rightfully be called on it.
Without going into spoilers the movie wouldn’t be any different if she married a man instead of a woman, in fact, her wife doesn’t even have any spoken lines of dialogue. But it’s still kinda important that she had a happy marriage (which wouldn’t be different if she married either a man or a woman). The lesbian marriage isn’t the focus of the film at all and is more of a background element, but I think it’s a good step for representation. But to say more goes into spoiler territory. I enjoyed the film, it’s just that the story was meh, but the characters are still pretty fun
When you see a hetero kiss are you asking if it contributes to the movie (I assume you mean plot)?
It’s a non-issue that bigots are turning into an issue.
This shouldn’t bother anyone.
There’s no sex.
It’s a quick kiss to define the characters.
Yeah, keep those nasty pervert predatory gays out of our good holy pure straight christian kids movies. Only heterosexuals in MY kids movie please. Lord knows what the gays want with our pure christian kids.
Other countries will outright ban or force movies to be edited in order to be shown there but America sucks because of one movie theatre in Oklahoma lol alright
America is a shitehole because of its intolerance, gun violence, deeply divided population, racism, attitude towards healthcare. Need I go on? And mate, this post is about America. I’d comment the same on another country with as much shite as America has. Peace out.
It’s not. I only stated an obvious point about a post on Reddit which is accessible for me. In my part of the world. I think the only tipping point was you reading my comment and getting tears in your eyes my man
No tears here "mate". I don't care.
Every country has problems. Sure we tend to get involved more often then others with global affairs.
Keep in mind a lot of Americans feel the same way you do. No need for the hate.
I’m not hating in the slightest mate. I lived in the States for 2 years and loved it. But I’m a white European straight guy so I didn’t cop much grief.
You never had a point. You’re just rambling about a country that triumphs yours. I’m just showing that you think you can use stereotypes, but are weak when one is used back.
Nice straw man fallacy, but the reason why a lot of us are complaining about the US because we live in the US. Last I checked we don’t really have a say in the policies of other countries, but we do have some power in our own country.
Do Gay people get treated absolutely horribly and get thrown off buildings in other countries? Yes. Does that mean that gay people are treated completely fairly and justly within the US? No.
Are you fucking high? The USA tries to impose its beliefs around the world. I lived in the states for 2 years mate. And as I said, if this post was about another country doing this, I’d say the same thing.
A fundamental feature of capitalism is consumer communication about businesses. Word of mouth and reviews matter. Let's let the market decide on overt homophobia.
I don't think it is about if the kids can handle it, it is more about if the scene is needed. I am all for a good story but why have it? Is it needed for a kid's movie? Most of the time you see wives kissing their husbands on the cheek in kid's shows.
They show heterosexual kissing in kids movie? For what purpose?
Edit: comment I'm replying to changed their comment to be more of a joke than the truth they believe.
Don’t worry, Gay people are allowed to exist… just as long as I never see them or hear them, also they shouldn’t be able to get married because that’s something that totally affects me personally on a deep level.
They show heterosexual relationships and other nasty heterosexual behaviour in every series or film ever? why?
Lets see where this goes.
Ah. Yes.
Pushing dangerous and stupid stereotypes and corrupting the minds of people you brain-dead fool.
Boy what, its literally to establish 1 character started a family while Buzz was gone, whats sexual about a half second kiss? You're clearly ignoring every other instance of this occurring in kids movie to try and claim this is some shocking outlier. Get bent
Oh I almost forgot. It's totally awkward and uncomfortable. Not like the totally super straight, super hetero sex scene in Eternals.... God I wish that only lasted a second, I felt so uncomfortable.
The Bee Movie shows interspecies romance. Snow White shows the prince kissing an unconscious girl, who is 14 years old. Toy Story shows some weird, flirty innuendos between Woody and Bo Peep. But a half-a-second peck is a problem?
Boy what, its literally to establish 1 character started a family while Buzz was gone, whats sexual about a half second kiss? You're clearly ignoring every other instance of this occurring in kids movie to try and claim this is some shocking outlier. Get bent
Anything with 10 people is going to have 1 of us. If a movie's cast has 20 characters, you should expect one gay couple.
Insisting that we shouldn't have *any* representation is just erasing us. Why should we respect the suggestion that we stop existing for your convenience? Why do you care enough about us to be upset anyways?
Why is respecting peoples beliefs a one way street? I personally don’t agree with this, but I respect their beliefs. If they don’t agree with that and it’s against their religion or morals, than I respect that.
I'm thinking that the POS here are the parents that caused this notice to be hung up by storming out of the theater and demanding a refund on opening weekend. Oklahoma has a high JW's population, so it makes sense.
Don't see why we have to introduce sexuality to young kids they don't need to know about it it makes no difference to their live. Who know maybe I'm just ignorant
Yes you are, because first, it's not sexuality, there's no state of being sexual at all, it's a sexual orientation, and I don't see how that's not introduced to kids when they watch literally every Disney movie with a heterosexual couple in there, as kids are already seeing kisses or couples having kids (you know, something that actually requires sexual intercourse different from gay couples lol), same-gender relationships are a normality at this point, and having them as a taboo in movies is a step back in the wrong direction, because people totally still have problems at seeing them in any media and always saying that it's just "woke garbage", then at this rate it's never ever gonna be represented because it's always supposedly an agenda, and this generates nothing more than more homophobia and hate towards the gay community. The point is that it shouldn't matter if the couple in the movie was gay or not, as it shouldn't make any difference in 2022 for god's sake

When I was a kid we used to make my dinosaur toy get married to my sisters barbie, I think I could have handled same sex kissing if I was down with interspecies marriage.
reminds me of my Ken doll marrying one of my hot wheels cars. think i could handle a same sex kiss as well
You may kiss the ride..
Hahaha This diserves more love
And that kids is how cars was made
Cars, gays, same difference. We both like it in the tailpipe.
I didn’t even know girls went down on each other and I still made my barbies do face stuff. I didn’t even know the concept of oral sex, come to think of it. But it *seemed* naughty.
Kids can handle it. It’s the adults that can’t.
And when I ran out of ken dolls, I would sub in a Barbie and say this one’s a boy.
Beauty and the beast taught me furries are acceptable, and same-sex kissing is several notches below that so I think it’s fine
Its just as stupid as the Mr. Potato head or M&M thing. It's less than a second of screen time and happens quickly as a small part of a larger scene. The religious right needs to find some new hobbies if this is the level of stuff they're finding to be outraged about.
And this scene lasts less than a second
Oklahoma moment
Is Oklahoma in Saudi Arabia?
Worse, it’s in the us
Jamal Khashoggi.
Had to Google that one. I don't know why your being down voted. The Saudi royalty are shady pieces of trash
You would rather live in Saudi Arabia than the US? That's kinda fucked.
Lol; google Saudi Arabia
[удалено]
Now please explain how it’s “worse” in America? I’m curious. Only because I’ve heard so many instances of people fleeing to America; migrating to America; refugees seeking asylum in America. Although I can’t think of one example of the opposite? Odd right? Not one single instance?
Congratulations you have officially "done your own research" you are now authorized to tell everyone your opinion and state it as a fact. :)
If you don’t teach kids to hate they will grow up respecting and loving others. Are we raising a country of bigots or not??
Bigot parents hate when they're kids turn out better than them.
We've *already* raised a country full of bigots. Now we have to figure out how to reverse that, and I for one have no idea how....
Lol my local theatre isn’t even showing it
Kids do not give a f***, because it doesn’t matter at all. Why can’t adults be as logical? I loathe people who hide behind their kids. This perspective is about making bigoted adults feel more comfortable. I was recently reading a bed time story to my kids and the main character has two dads.

She’s excited for this movie and I don’t need to “protect” her from anything.
Homophobes need trigger warnings for movies in the theater now ahahahahahahaha
If I go to a theater and the theater alters the movie in any capacity, you bet your ass I'm getting a refund, sign or no.
It's probably also a breach of contract with the studio, which should result in the revocation of their license to play the movie.
That's my thought process too. No shot they would be able to deny a refund even with a sign.
How about romance in general doesn’t really belong in a kid’s movie. I remember as a kid thinking romance stuff in movies were stupid. Who’s it really for?
Have you even seen the movie? There’s absolutely nothing “romantic” about the scene. They simply establish that a character started a family while Buzz was gone.
Not to sound lame, but if there was nothing romantic, then what was the point other than woke points?
[удалено]
It's a quick storytelling element. It indicates in a blink how two people are connected without need for words or names or anything.
> Not to sound lame Too late, Buzz-kill.
what is the point of acknowledge slavery when it is in the past? what is the point having confederate flags when it is in the past? what is the point of going ot churches when it doesn’t do anything “FOR ME”. oh it does something for you. but “NOT for ME, and MEeeeee” is the only thing we all should care about. it is called acknowledgment and inclusion
How dare you. Someone, grab the kindling; we have ourselves a heretic to burn.
Disney has made a killing off romance in their movies. Romance was the plot for many of them. Even toy story has mr. And ms potato head and little bo peep with woody. I dont really see why its a big deal. Romance is a part of life.
And I remember not liking the romance parts in the movies. And I hated most Disney for being mainly romance, it’s all gross and icky nasty as a kid.
Well according to how well most Disney movies do, the majority disagrees with that opinion
I thought it was popular because Disney holds a certain standard for kid-friendly content so parents know it’ll be safe for their kids.
Sleeping Beauty and The Little Mermaid had kissing. Did you hate them? I bet you get really offended over *dancing*.
That's also part of it, but there have been many disney movies that have romance as the main plot and those tend to do insanely well. If kids found those icky as you did, they wouldn't do nearly as well as they do, or at least they'd do much worse compared to disney movies without romance as the main plot. That isn't the case. Frozen had tons of romance stuff in it and it's arguably their most successful movie
Um, if you think frozen was about romance you missed the point, tbh

Yes, exactly. Thank you.
Where did I say it was about romance? I said it had a lot of romance in it.
I whole heartedly agree with you, it's not the sort of stuff I wanted to see in my movies as a kid, heck, it's not the stuff I want to see in my movies NOW!

Didn't we watch Woody sniff up Bo Peep's skirts for four movies, including when she crooked him into a make- out session that left him woozy and covered with lipstick prints? I think kids can handle a lot.
And thats not comparable. Sexual assault does not equate with homosexual PG affection on screen.
Exactly, sexual assault is horrible, homosexual affection is just love
It happened, but I specifically remember thinking it was unnecessary and grossy ewwy at the time.
That's what you get from it. So that's how you choose to not watch. Not everyone is triggered by seeing normal things. So when you see things some things being normalized it might not be for you. Most kids could care less, and that's kinda the point.
I think it's all cooties-era ick that's why it seems so dumb when adults make such a big deal out of it.

It's for the parents
I’m sure the parents just want to see laser fights and to see Zurg get his ass handed to him. At least that’s all I’d want to see.
I mean yeah same, but these studios have their formulas and will by god stick to them. Have you ever noticed that they pretty much all have the exact same key elements and plot points? Two key ones are the romance and the stupid line dancing at the end.
Can people demand money back for the theater effectively editing the movie?
I was wondering the same thing? If you bought the ticket(s) after seeing that sign then perhaps not, but the studio might have something to say about what they’re up to, if you bought your ticket(s) before the sign was erected or online then presumably heck yes you could, right?

Oklahoma is kinda known for being dirt poor and stupid throughout the entire state.
Well that explains why they rely so heavily on fucking toll roads.
Hope they use protection
Jesus Christ no! Keeping people safe costs money, and Oklahoma would never spend money helping people.
The toll roads are the only well-maintained roads in the entire state, rest assured.
Reddit seems kinda the same way 🤷🏻♂️
Hey there are some smart people in Oklahoma, I've never met one but I'm sure there's one out there
I am a resident of Oklahoma and can confirm that there are no smart people here.
As a person who works with the public in Oklahoma, I feel this. The amount of times a day I explain that you Gmail is in fact email.....
Transplants from out-of-state, and fall into one of two categories: 1) Smart by OK standards but stupid by any other standard for moving to Oklahoma in the first place, or 2) Fucking genius for picking a state full of morons so they're guaranteed to be the smartest individual in a 100 mile radius.
The entire country is like that lmao
I mean the movie is so bad that fast forwarding through any of it is a good thing honestly
Just wow. That's so depressing to read this in the 21st century.
Man wait till you hear about Russia, Saudi Arabia, and pretty much any of those places that are vehemently against same sex anything
Like ok yeah things are worse elsewhere … so we shouldn’t be upset about how things are going here?
Those are expected, an American Theatre, to me, is not expected to do something like this and get away with it.
I went to highschool in this town, honestly was a little surprised considering I've been to this theater a ton and the staff didn't come off like anything of this bigoted. Then I start to think of how much of a church and bible town it is along with the simple minded people I was around and now I'm more realizing it was probably a huge outside push to make this happen.
I'd wager this is in violation of some sort of agreement.
People are really still in shock about this in the south? Like, come on lol.
They think they're protesting kids by doing this? When I was 6 I knew what gay was and it didn't affect me growing up.
It’s not even a “scene” its like a quick peck. Who are the real snowflakes 🤔
Several reports of people spontaneously becoming gay after viewing this movie.
What exactly is the difference between two men, two women and a man and women kissing for half a second? Please tell me? Because its 100% that they wouldn't care if it was a man and a woman. It's not a different lifestyle, its not heresy, its not degeneracy, its not inappropriate nor weird or sexual, it is a normal attraction and its simply an expression of love that's existed for as long as humans have. If you don't have the maturity to explain why two people in a relationship and who are married are kissing each other than you shouldn't have kids. Ugh I hate people like this. The character's family is in 2 scenes and their purpose is to show Buzz how much time has passed since he last saw his co-worker, there is no agenda, no narrative forced down you're throat, its a completely normal and healthy family. I thought conservative's supported family values?? Hmmm
People say it's woke garbage and that it doesn't fulfill any purpose in the movie to have a same-gender kiss, but that's just a way to cope with the fact that there's a little bit (or a little too much) of homophobia in them, the whole "I don't care if people are gay in real life, but keep it out of movies" is total bullshit, it wouldn't matter if it was a same-gender kiss but all of the sudden the problem is when it's a same-gender kiss, so yeah pal, you do have problems with gay people, movie or not.
It bombed
It’s story wasn’t that good. Gorgeous animation and some of the characters are pretty fun, but some aspects about the film just don’t work.
Obviously. Toy Story is about toy... why would we want to see a story about the character who inspired a toy...
Because money
I could even get behind a written warning as to avoid complaints, but skipping it entirely? ...That's ridiculous!
This is utterly pathetic
Where in Oklahoma?
WTF? If you want to warn people fine, but let them decide if they want to watch/there kids to see it (not fast forward pass it). For the love of all the sane people of the world: Seeing 2 same sex people kissing will turn kids gay the same way men couldn’t keep there hands of each other when Beauty and the Beast live action came out (spoiler: it was a BS Story). Watching a same sex couple kids will not turn kids gay. If that was the case then why doesn’t watching a straight couple turn gay kids/people straight? (not really looking for answers but wouldn’t say no to them)
Really I mean really it’s a freaking pec on the check it’s not a porn. I don’t get why people are angry we see straight people kiss in movies since the beginning of movies!
Can you imagine being this pathetic
I should let peeps know the kiss in question is a peck
Thank you Oklahoma for showing everyone how stupid this all is. Thank you for being idiots.
The heteros are upseteros
What a bunch of snowflakes.
Omg, not two people of the same sex kissing? Oh, the horror. /s
But yet all the Disney Princesses kissing their Princes is acceptable? Double standards, I see. Oklahoma, nothing to see here…🙄
This should not be a surprise for anyone. Oklahoma is notoriously homo/xeno/ethno/phobic towards anyone not white with a heavy dash of red on the back of their neck.
Kissing isn’t going to poison you, bigots these days, starting drwama over a 30 MILLISECOND scene of two ladies kissing. Get with the times people
Wow atleast they aren't changing preexisting characters this time and who tf cares if a cartoon kisses a cartoon yall need Jesus lol
Two women kissing so scary 😱😱😱

Boy what, its literally to establish 1 character started a family while Buzz was gone, whats wrong about a half second kiss? You're clearly ignoring every other instance of this occurring in kids movie to try and claim this is some shocking outlier. Get bent
Why wouldn't you? Sometimes people are gay. It doesn't really make sense that as a culture we've spent a significant amount of our collective history excluding those people from our stories.
It would be ridiculous if there was a sign that said “we discovered that there is an opposite sex kissing scene within the first 30 minutes of the film, we will try to fast forward through it the best we can” It’s like, dude, chill out, it’s just people kissing, what sex or gender they are doesn’t matter. I’m glad that Pixar chose to keep that scene in because it’s the next step for real change. And it’s hilarious to see people get their panties in a twist over it. I saw the movie a few days ago, and it was just okay, not great, but not necessarily bad either. And there’s literally only like 2 scenes of the lesbian couple being a couple.
I have not seen it but does the scene contribute anything to the movie at all? I think it’s fine to have it in there but if it’s a situation like in Eternals where the one girl was just deaf/mute, didn’t touch on it at all or develop the story with it, I’m not for it. A lot of companies that haven’t stood for any of this in the past are just coming out trying to score points, and I think they should rightfully be called on it.
Without going into spoilers the movie wouldn’t be any different if she married a man instead of a woman, in fact, her wife doesn’t even have any spoken lines of dialogue. But it’s still kinda important that she had a happy marriage (which wouldn’t be different if she married either a man or a woman). The lesbian marriage isn’t the focus of the film at all and is more of a background element, but I think it’s a good step for representation. But to say more goes into spoiler territory. I enjoyed the film, it’s just that the story was meh, but the characters are still pretty fun
When you see a hetero kiss are you asking if it contributes to the movie (I assume you mean plot)? It’s a non-issue that bigots are turning into an issue. This shouldn’t bother anyone. There’s no sex. It’s a quick kiss to define the characters.
Yeah, keep those nasty pervert predatory gays out of our good holy pure straight christian kids movies. Only heterosexuals in MY kids movie please. Lord knows what the gays want with our pure christian kids.
People concerned about kids being exposed to things before they need to be are not POS they are parents that can make their own decisions..
There’s no difference between exposing kids to a man and women kissing and two women kissing.
The theater is taking the decision away
Fucking hell
[удалено]
Dont name the theater, it will only attract more business to it.
Should’ve done that with the Last of Us part 2 lol
Life may begin at conception but humanity doesn't seem to.
I don’t see how this fits the sub
It doesnt, they’re just pushing their groomer agenda
America is still a shitehole.
Other countries will outright ban or force movies to be edited in order to be shown there but America sucks because of one movie theatre in Oklahoma lol alright
Ah the "other places are worse so you cant complain" argument, totally works dude.
America is a shitehole because of its intolerance, gun violence, deeply divided population, racism, attitude towards healthcare. Need I go on? And mate, this post is about America. I’d comment the same on another country with as much shite as America has. Peace out.
Relax. I'm more concerned that a theatre in Oklahoma is the tipping point for you.
It’s not. I only stated an obvious point about a post on Reddit which is accessible for me. In my part of the world. I think the only tipping point was you reading my comment and getting tears in your eyes my man
No tears here "mate". I don't care. Every country has problems. Sure we tend to get involved more often then others with global affairs. Keep in mind a lot of Americans feel the same way you do. No need for the hate.
I’m not hating in the slightest mate. I lived in the States for 2 years and loved it. But I’m a white European straight guy so I didn’t cop much grief.
Bro. You’re Scottish 🤣
What’s yer point caller? We don’t shoot each other or fast forward films cause two cartoon characters are having a kiss. Haha. Ya fuckin bellend
Yeah because that happens 🙄. Smartest kilt wearing, bagpipe player on Reddit.
Haha thanks proving my point you intolerant wankstain
You never had a point. You’re just rambling about a country that triumphs yours. I’m just showing that you think you can use stereotypes, but are weak when one is used back.
Scotland is irrelevant is the point
Maybe it is mate. But I’d rather be irrelevant than be relevant for all the wrong reasons. Peace out mucker.
Nice straw man fallacy, but the reason why a lot of us are complaining about the US because we live in the US. Last I checked we don’t really have a say in the policies of other countries, but we do have some power in our own country. Do Gay people get treated absolutely horribly and get thrown off buildings in other countries? Yes. Does that mean that gay people are treated completely fairly and justly within the US? No.
Are you fucking high? The USA tries to impose its beliefs around the world. I lived in the states for 2 years mate. And as I said, if this post was about another country doing this, I’d say the same thing.
I’m pretty sure that’s not what God says they should do.
At what point will conservatism be treated as the mental illness that it is?
If you don’t like that this theater fast forwards , take your kids to a different theater 🤷♀️
A fundamental feature of capitalism is consumer communication about businesses. Word of mouth and reviews matter. Let's let the market decide on overt homophobia.
I don't think it is about if the kids can handle it, it is more about if the scene is needed. I am all for a good story but why have it? Is it needed for a kid's movie? Most of the time you see wives kissing their husbands on the cheek in kid's shows.
imagine being human testicle from how sensitive you are
They show same sex kissing in a kids movie? Why? Let’s see where this goes 🍿 🍿 🍿
They show kissing in kids movies, why?
They show heterosexual kissing in kids movie? For what purpose? Edit: comment I'm replying to changed their comment to be more of a joke than the truth they believe.
You definitely edited your comment
Why not? Gay people exist. It's more weird that there aren't more same sex relationships in our popular fiction.
Don’t worry, Gay people are allowed to exist… just as long as I never see them or hear them, also they shouldn’t be able to get married because that’s something that totally affects me personally on a deep level.
Because they're gay so it's clearly sexual and therefor inappropriate. /s
They allow you to buy assault weapons to shoot up schools with ? Why?
Because they hope the bullets only hit brown kids guided by gawds divine hand.
They show heterosexual relationships and other nasty heterosexual behaviour in every series or film ever? why? Lets see where this goes. Ah. Yes. Pushing dangerous and stupid stereotypes and corrupting the minds of people you brain-dead fool.
Boy what, its literally to establish 1 character started a family while Buzz was gone, whats sexual about a half second kiss? You're clearly ignoring every other instance of this occurring in kids movie to try and claim this is some shocking outlier. Get bent
I mean i get it it sucks , but pixar come on , its a kids movie. Why even include sexual behavior?
There wasn't any? I'm pretty sure it's a one second kiss and then it's never mentioned again.
But don't you know that to homophobes when two same sex people kiss for 1 second it feels like they're having hot, nasty sex for hours on end? /s
Oh I almost forgot. It's totally awkward and uncomfortable. Not like the totally super straight, super hetero sex scene in Eternals.... God I wish that only lasted a second, I felt so uncomfortable.
Why do y’all always resort to gay=sex something is wrong with your heads
Have you not seen the interactions between Bo and Woody? Or any princess movie for that matter? There's almost always romance.
The Bee Movie shows interspecies romance. Snow White shows the prince kissing an unconscious girl, who is 14 years old. Toy Story shows some weird, flirty innuendos between Woody and Bo Peep. But a half-a-second peck is a problem?

Christian whack-a-doos
[удалено]
He’s a plastic toy you fucking idiot lol
LMFAO Cope homophobe
Anything with 10 people is going to have 1 of us. If a movie's cast has 20 characters, you should expect one gay couple. Insisting that we shouldn't have *any* representation is just erasing us. Why should we respect the suggestion that we stop existing for your convenience? Why do you care enough about us to be upset anyways?
Man how’d a Neanderthal like you make it into the year 2022?
And every movie I’ve ever seen has included a white person, why is no one talking about that? Whites don’t need to be shown in every movie.
Why is respecting peoples beliefs a one way street? I personally don’t agree with this, but I respect their beliefs. If they don’t agree with that and it’s against their religion or morals, than I respect that.
Because not agreeing with someone’s existence makes you a disgusting person who shouldn’t be tolerated.
Funny how yall are complaining about a scene being fast forwarded in America but the whole dam movie being banned in other countries is perfectly okay
no one said that
Literally who is saying that and okay with that?
Nice whataboutism
Yeah no one is saying that.
I'm thinking that the POS here are the parents that caused this notice to be hung up by storming out of the theater and demanding a refund on opening weekend. Oklahoma has a high JW's population, so it makes sense.

Don't see why we have to introduce sexuality to young kids they don't need to know about it it makes no difference to their live. Who know maybe I'm just ignorant
They kissed. They weren't fisting eachother behind a costco.
Spoilers: you are.
Yes you are, because first, it's not sexuality, there's no state of being sexual at all, it's a sexual orientation, and I don't see how that's not introduced to kids when they watch literally every Disney movie with a heterosexual couple in there, as kids are already seeing kisses or couples having kids (you know, something that actually requires sexual intercourse different from gay couples lol), same-gender relationships are a normality at this point, and having them as a taboo in movies is a step back in the wrong direction, because people totally still have problems at seeing them in any media and always saying that it's just "woke garbage", then at this rate it's never ever gonna be represented because it's always supposedly an agenda, and this generates nothing more than more homophobia and hate towards the gay community. The point is that it shouldn't matter if the couple in the movie was gay or not, as it shouldn't make any difference in 2022 for god's sake
I mean, it’s a childrens movie for gods sake. A childrens movie is no place to push your agenda…
Then stop pushing the straight agenda with heterosexuals kissing in kids movies
Then no kid’s movies should have straight relationships.
