What is there to elaborate? Other than a brief embrace shown on screen, he didn't appear to play the role in any stereotypical gay manner. That's all...

Why would the character be a stereotype?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didn't say he was. That's the entire point. They briefly showed some gay characteristics on screen, but otherwise he just played the character plainly.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, he played the character like a real person (who lives in space and brings a sword to a skydiving phaser fight) and not a caricature.

I'm assuming you don't believe all gay men are stereotypes from 1980s comedies?

So, unless you were expecting there to be hardcore man on man penetrative sex on screen, what would "gayness" to John Cho's acting mean?

I'm not playing this game. You're obviously looking for a confrontation. You'll have to find someone else to play with.

I'm not looking for a confrontation, I just want to know what "gayness in acting" means, and why it is apparently a problem.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I never said it was a problem. You're trying to make a problem where none exists. I'm not playing this game. Have a nice day.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 8 months ago

You’re trying to make a problem where none exists.

Again, I'm only trying to figure out what you meant when you said:

And even then, there wasn’t much gayness to his acting.

Because it sounds pretty ignorant.
