What was so utterly heinous about this scene, exactly? I have my gripes with the film being bland and boring as fuck, but this scene in particular is so brief and inconsequential. It's surprising to me how mere seconds of affection managed to entirely engulf all discussion of this film.
Why can't we just talk about how this film managed to utterly butcher Zurg? It's as if we're no longer allowed to have antagonists that are actually just... evil.
The movie was offensively boring and more offensively just about entirely unrelated to Toy Story and Buzz, but neither of those really generate controversy or conversation or side-taking. If you mention those, the discussion ends at "wow so it's a bad/flat/lame movie" and moves right along. If you bring up the """controversy""" of including non-straight or non-white people though, you can start all sorts of shit flinging. Thus those discussions go longer, dumber, and louder and you might perceive it as being a Big Deal. In reality it should still end quite short, if people were reasonable. "I did/didn't like that the movie was inclusive but it sucked regardless so who cares."
What would be an affectionate innocent kiss between a man and woman when done between two women gains the power to destroy western civilization and is literally white genocide. It’s also the reason for high gas prices, high wheat prices, global warming, and the assassination of Kennedy.
You're asking why fourteen countries banned the movie over such a silly small thing? Because they look at the Western world today as an example of what will happen to them if they show any tolerance at all. They know that if they budge just an inch, they'll get asked to give in more and more in the future. So they can't compromise on this.
fpbp
>Because they look at the Western world today
No, they do it largely due to their theocracy being against gays.
People these days are just too addicted to being mad. I guess it makes them feel good about themselves and that they are this small good group fighting against something big and evil. And in this case the "big and evil" is a 3 second scene from a Buzz Lightyear movie.
China's not a theocracy, but they're likely to ban the movie anyway. People can oppose homosexuality for more reasons than just religion.
If a movie is much worse than what people expect, they will latch onto the nearest and easiest scapegoat. The scapegoat is usually "woke" stuff like that.
In China's case, homosexuality being tolerated = fewer birthrates = Country will die.
At least they learn from our mistakes.
This. It's most likely the real reason why Pixar put it in.
>but this scene in particular is so brief and inconsequential
Yes, it was only there to pander.
If this was a straight couple this scene would never have existed at all, as it doesn't add anything to the movie.
But since they wanted to shoe-horn in gay propaganda in a childrens movie, here we are.
Not really. They repeat the worse parts of America still.
>Buzz and Zurg are the same person
I am confused.
I'm tired of faggot shit in cartoons.
Agreed. Big media companies have been doing this for almost a decade now where they release a sub-par product, but have a "controversial" element to it and frame any criticisms of their product as an attack on the element to draw morons into defending it (seriously, you guys are defending something shat out by a multi-billion dollar corporation that you don't even enjoy yourself), and to draw morons into attacking it (seriously, this is so much of a non-issue that would go away if you stopped paying attention to it and found a better use for your time), to keep the discussions away from the low quality of the final product.
This happened with most notably with the Ghostbusters 2016 movie and the Star Wars sequels, so it's a pattern I think we'll be forced to endure for a long time.
Homosexuals are subhuman vermin. Hope this helped :)
