Benoit Blanc is now gay


No way was Ruin Johnson going to have a straight white male hero, so he’s retconned Blanc to be gay - a pointless and obvious woke move.

I’m half way through and Johnson’s anti-white racism is on full display as expected.

What a prick.

reply



I haven't watched the full film yet, but I did wonder about Blanc in the new trailer Drooch, because I'm pretty sure that Benoit Blanc didn't come across as being a raving alphabet poofter in the first Knives Out film.

Woke is a cancer.

reply

As soon as Benoit Blanc became a popular hero, as soon as Johnson knew he’d reeled you in by finally giving modern audiences a new white male hero with some testosterone… he retcons him into a homosexual.

Classic woke bait’n’switch.

Hollywood is a fetid sewer of woke scum, and Johnson is the worst of the lot. I used to listen to him being interviewed on the Slash Filmcast podcast. He’s the most obnoxious twat imaginable.

reply

Does his being gay or straight affect the movie in any way?

reply

Not at all. Mentioning it was for no other reason than to check off a box.

reply

Wasn't you mentioning this also meant you checked off a box?

reply

No.

reply

Cool.

reply

Of course, it’s yet another example of this same obnoxious political ideology infecting Hollywood and ruining what could have been a decent film. What an absurd question.

reply

Putting aside your being a homophobe, how's Benoit being gay did affect the movie? And how the movie should've been if he was straight?

reply

Stupid cunt. Me pointing out the cynical retconning of Blanc into a homosexual is no indication of ‘homophobia’.

The worst thing about you woke fucktards relentlessly deploying false accusations of homophobia and racism etc etc is that genuine cases of those prejudices now get ignored. Prick.

reply

Retconning would imply that he was straight before, but the previous movie has never indicated his sexual preference.

And you still haven't told us what's changed with the story with him being gay. I would appreciate you didn't change the subject too much.

And you've been called a homophobe because you're displaying extreme rage against a movie that displays homosexuality, not even in a relationship (like two men share a kiss), just implying it; it already made you this angry.

reply

No, you’ve called me a ‘homophobe’ because you’re a degenerate woke cunt who unleashes careless false accusations because you cannot counter my points, let’s get that straight.

reply

I already told you why I called you a homophobe; whether or not you think it's wrong is up to you, but you haven't answered the single most simple question I asked you since the beginning; let's face it, you don't have an answer, do you? That's how a homophobe acts, with anger but no substance.

WHAT EXACTLY PART OF THE FILM WAS AFFECTED BY THE FACT THAT BENOIT IS GAY? AND HOW DO YOU THINK THE STORY SHOULD'VE BEEN IF HE'S STRAIGHT?

Let's be honest here; you're not gonna answer that. Maybe some name-calling here and there, accusing others of problems you invent, meh. It's not like there is anything but hatred toward homosexuality in that head of yours.

reply

Eat shit you dumb cunt - you fucked up and you’re not getting any film discussion from me until you’ve apologised.

Firstly, you will apologise to me for falsely accusing me of being a ‘homophobe’.

Secondly, you will make a public apology here and now to the gay community for launching a false accusation of homophobia, which makes actual cases of homophobia harder to identify and combat.

Once you’ve made those apologies - and they’d better be 100% sincere - then you will have earned the right to ask me a question.

reply

You could just say you don't have any argument? Like, who's going to believe that you actually expect an apology from an internet forum. Even the 12 years old playing the COD online know that. Wow, dude, that's embarrassing...

reply

I’ve already made my arguments, dickhead. Now if you want your questions answered then you’ll make those apologies, if not then fuck off.

reply

No not really but it's nice to see LGBTQIA+ Represented they are part of HUMANITY.

reply

I saw the movie at a packed theater and left without thinking that Benoit Blanc was gay. He was a famous British crime detective. I actually assumed that the Brit who answered his door was his butler. The director should have kept his mouth shut about it. Why give some people a reason to avoid watching it?

What I did not believe was the revelation (much later) as to how he got involved in this case. I did not think that a supposedly famous detective could be contacted so easily, in person as shown. But that did not really affect the story telling.

reply

Johnson couldn’t help himself, the second he saw that his modern Sherlock Holmes had a decent male fanbase… instant homosexual.

Watch the support for this character and series start to drop off now.

Johnson doesn’t care, of course - there’s a reason he’s so comfortable writing about rich assholes.

reply

Johnson doesn’t care, of course - there’s a reason he’s so comfortable writing about rich assholes.

The Rich are assholes if they get all the Power which leads to Pos-Apocalyptic Scenario called Cyberpunk. Elon Musk doesn't care about you. YOU are a means to an end for him.

WTF are you talking about?

Please don’t try to contribute on these boards until you’ve grown a functioning brain.

reply

Thanks for letting me know. I was about to watch this movie, and now forget about it. I don't need any faggot heroes in my life.

reply

See if Johnson had made Blanc homosexual in the first film then I wouldn’t mind so much, it’s the bait’n’switch that’s so typically devious of these woke cunts.

You're right to avoid the film, don’t give these fuckers your money or even your time.

reply

Nice. Yeah, at first these homos just wanted to "get married". But, now they want to force "Drag Queen Story Time" into schools, and are grooming children for transgenderism. I also heard that at their "Pride Parades" there are adult men walking around naked in front of children. At this point, I think it's safe to say that these fucking faggots should have just stayed in the closet.

reply

Oh it's worse than that... they use the degeneracy of pride parade to indoctrinate kids into their degeneracy, and Leftists openly promote it:

It makes me sick to my stomach.

reply

Thanks for the warning OP.

I see the typical Leftists doing their typical kvetching over exposing the woke agenda, but don't let them get to you.

I almost enjoyed the original Knives Out, but Ruin Johnson couldn't help himself and still managed to devolve it into a "Minorities, good; White man, bad" message.

I was only a bauble of interest on my end for Glass Onion, but now that you've confirmed it's more propaganda from the Rainbow Reich, I'll be skipping this one for sure.

Thanks for biting the bullet for those of us wary about the woke infestation and alerting us to its machinations depicted in the film.

reply

You're clearly looking for something to be upset about.

To say he was "retconned" implies that the first film establishes him as straight, which it does not, it says nothing of his orientation.

Also, the film doesn't even make it explicit. It's vague. We only know because it's been clarified in interviews. You could choose to read it as simply a friend or roommate, or even brother.

The problem is people like you. You make a big deal about it. Because you think him being gay means you can't like him, can't admire him, can't take him seriously. After all, how can he possibly solve a mystery unless you know he's plowing that vag?

Get over yourself. Grow up and calm down, snowflake.

reply

Fuck off you smug woke cunt, and you can take all that homophobic projection and cram it back up your own ass where it came from.

The film makes it clear that Blanc is now gay, and Ruin Johnson has even says he ‘obviously is’ - he’s right. Blanc is in his 50’s and sharing a flat with a man, minces around the island in a camp bathing suit and neck scarf, and spends most of the time trying to signal to Birdy that he’s not interested in her flirtations.

Your gaslighting attempt has singularly failed. The Nazis needed to convince everyone that the holocaust wasn’t happening so that it could continue, just as you’re trying and failing to dupe people into thinking this woke capture of Hollywood isn’t happening. It is, and it’s killing the industry.

Ruin Johnson clearly retconned Blanc into being homosexual because he’s a woke cultist and everyone, including you, knows it.

reply

So, what exactly is wrong with being gay?

reply

You think there’s something ‘wrong with being gay’? Cool it with the homophobia.

reply

I'm asking you a question and you're avoiding an answer.

reply

Only you can answer why you think there’s something ‘wrong with being gay’.

reply

Don't be a chickensh-t. You have been crying about how Blanc is gay, like it is a horrible thing that the director personally did to you.

Wearing the snowflake victim uniform does not make you look good and will make you the laughing stock of the forum. Good luck with that.

reply

The only person who has said there’s something ‘wrong with being gay’ and referred to it as ‘a horrible thing’ is you, not me. Own your own prejudices instead trying to project them into others.

I’m proud to have earned the derision of homophobic scum like yourself.

reply

In the OP you said;

No way was Ruin Johnson going to have a straight white male hero, so he’s retconned Blanc to be gay - a pointless and obvious woke move.

You're a special kind of stupid if you think you can convince us that the words pointless and woke were not insults.

So yeah, you think there is something wrong with being gay.

Be proud of anything you like; doesn't make you right.

reply

There’s no ‘us’ here - you’re all alone. A stupid solitary homophobic woke twat still trying and failing to convince people that Glass Onion isn’t yet another woke turd from Ruin Johnson, and utterly humiliating yourself in the process.

reply

You're the one ranting like a truly flaming homophobe. Hope it keeps you warm. :)

reply

You already outed yourself as a homophobe here when you said there is something ‘wrong with being gay’ and referring to homosexuality as ‘a horrible thing’. Trying to claw back some credibility by launching false accusations of homophobia at others is pure cringe and just makes you look even worse.

reply

No. I asked you what you thought was wrong with being gay, since you were so upset that a fictional character was depicted as gay.

reply

No, you projected your own homophobia onto me. Nothing that I have said suggests there’s anything ‘wrong with being gay’ or that homosexuality is ‘a horrible thing’ as you believe.

Trying to claw back some credibility by launching false accusations of homophobia at others is pure cringe and just makes you look even worse.

reply

I'm not sure how a 20 second scene showing his partner answering the front door makes the entire movie pointless. That seems like a bit of a stretch.

reply

Maybe, but I never said ‘a 20 second scene showing his partner answering the front door makes the entire movie pointless’ so why the fuck are you telling me this?

reply

I saw this at a special screening in Toronto.
TBH I didn’t even get the scene as I thought Hung Grant was just his butler answering the door. I do recall a couple of boos from the audience at the time that now make sense.
Fuck Ruin Johnson.
