So are you saying it is more important for an actor to be LGBT in real life or the character they are portraying? John Wick for instance. Does it really do anything to plot if we make him bi or pan or say he's trans? I don't really care what my Assassin protagonist identifies as sexually. Do I really care if John Wick swings both ways just because I'm bisexual? I can SAY he is. I can say he is a trans-man and it does nothing to the plot of being one person against a world of assassins.
I’m moreso making fun of the way that movie studios, Disney in particular, claim to have LGBT representation in their films, but in reality it’s the most token, milquetoast, blink-and-you-miss-it kind of representation, like two nameless characters holding hands in the background, or someone acting a little bit fruity but otherwise can easily be ignored/edited out for foreign markets in countries where LGBT depictions are practically/literally illegal.
It’s pathetically obvious that they just want their cake and eat it too, trying to win over LGBT audiences while at the same time trying not to miss out on all that sweet sweet overseas box office money.
