I thought it was weird to have a father/son conflict about wanting to dance instead of hunting. A little gay i thought. Then the boyfriend mucking around with his mate like they were gay. Then the cross dressing bonnie and clyde. And finally, a boy of 10 with a porn search history!
I notice Hollywood putting these small things in stories now to normalise things.
Straight guys can't be into dance? Kids can't be curious about sex enough to Google it?? Guys fooling around has to be gay? Don't football players hug and kiss one another after a goal or touchdown?
shareDancing isn't gay but I got where they were heading with it.
shareI'd say your own thinking toward the matter is essentially the kind of thinking that's the problem, which if anything your problem highlights. Just let people live without overthinking or putting too much meaning on everything. It's sad, you're probably one of those guys who's too insecure to hug a male friend because "it might mean I'm gay."
shareI wonder how much longer this form of gaslighting is going to be accepted by mainstream society -- "The problem isn't what other people are doing, the problem is...You!" It's brilliant gaslighting, I'll grant that, but it's gaslighting, nonetheless.
shareI'm assuming it'll just persist as another form of ignorance. I mean, look here, we have two forms in this thread:

Oh hai Jason! ❤️

Think your kind of reading stuff into it that isn't there.
shareThe boy going to dance class stuck out like a sore thumb, it's an obvious attempt to dismantle "toxic" masculinity. All men are portrayed negatively in this film as weak, evil, unintelligent and disposable. I still prefer Zombie's Halloween over this, that one doesn't pander to the feminist crowd.
shareThe smartest and most likable character - deputy Hawkins - is killed off in one of the dumbest “twists” in recent movie history. That the writers and director couldn’t recognize this says a lot.
shareIf you really think he was killed, you should watch Halloween Kills.
shareI haven’t seen the new one - still deciding after the bad taste the last one left in my mouth. If Hawkins survived I’m happy about that. Still, the filmmakers should’ve known better than to put the only likable character out of commission. That’s just one of their many head-scratching decisions.
shareI hate spoilers, but this here has got me very excited for Halloween Kills! I loved Hawkins and was upset he died in this movie.
He was stabbed in the neck and then the doctor RAN HIM OVER, it was a safe conclusion to assume he died.
Did you feel gayer after watching this film? Did "Hollywood" get to you?
shareRight? Who knew you could 'inspire' people to be gay, or 'recruit' them with depictions of gay folk in film/on TV - if it's so easy to sway somebody, why don't the people who yell 'gay agenda!' so much prove it's possible by turning themselves gay for a week or two?
shareImagine going through life worrying about the impact of the gay agenda in "Halloween"...
shareGiven the absolute crusade that Hollywood is on in 2018 to re-shape our thinking about gender, you'd have to be naive to think that the dialogue in these little moments, as well as the gender-swap with the costumes, were not chosen with purpose. Thankfully, they were subtle and not spotlighted or belabored, in any way.
