Having a character that’s just a normal character who happens to be gay, without making a big deal about it or using it as a plot point, is rare.
I don't know if that's as true even in 2016 when the movie came out, as it once was.
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?
Sure, but that doesn't mean they were exclusively heterosexual.
Why would the character be a stereotype?
Why would anyone think he would be?
And even then, there wasn’t much gayness to his acting.
Care to elaborate?
Yeah, I think "The Void" is probably a top ten VOY episode for me because of how it shows Janeway's inclination towards coalition building being successful. That is a quality I like in a Starfleet captain, but too often in VOY, the plot is about how Janeway and Co. get betrayed by someone they had entered into an agreement with.
I’ve been playing STA off and on since the first game was in play testing stage, and have been running my current campaign for 28 months. I’m a big fan of the game.
I’m a bit concerned about converting my current game over to 2nd edition, assuming that’s what my players want to do, but I definitely think the Core Rulebook could use a reorganization at the very least.
The uniform here is interesting, because the comic takes place after DS9, but before "Nemesis", around 2377. Other than the crews of the Theseus, and Defiant, characters wear the "First Contact" uniforms, yet Shaw and the other Starfleets we see on this cover are wearing the early DS9/VOY uniforms.
Obviously there could be some time travel shenanigans, which would place this in 2373 at the latest. Shaw was an ensign during the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2366, and on this cover we see him rocking commander pips, so he would have progressed up the ranks in about seven years. Obviously a thing that can happen in Trek, as we've seen, but somewhere in the Delta Quadrant Harry Kim just punched a bulkhead and has no idea why.
Truly we have no punishment to fit their crime.
I'm not looking for a confrontation, I just want to know what "gayness in acting" means, and why it is apparently a problem.
