Avatar, and its damn hetero-sexual themes…
Let me say that Avatar was an awesome movie. There a little something for almost everybody: action, romance, incredible 3D animation and a lot more, and unfortunately that’s not enough for some people out there. As good as Avatar was, this article is not about that, but a very odd protest against it.
Apparently leaving a certain group of people out a film makes the creators of it intolerant douche bags somehow. In this case, the group that was apparently left out was gay people. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against gays or any group of people, but come on man, WHAT THE FUCK!?
The website leading this protest (stopavatarmovie.blogspot.com) says that the human race is evolving into gay, lesbian, bi, and transgendered people and the fact that they are not depicted is bigoted and wrong… I know, it doesn’t make any sense. You do realize that if everyone was gay then we wouldn’t be able to reproduce, and wouldn’t even get to the time that Avatar takes place in, right? Hmm, maybe that’s what they mean, and we’re all supposed to be dead by then.
So, going by the logic of this website by excluding ANY group at all from any form of entertainment the creators are being racist and bigoted. Shit, I’ll have to remember that one. I don’t want to be protested or anything, that would just ruin EVERYTHING. Or hell, maybe I should just protest every movie that doesn’t include Native Americans, Midgets, British people, Orcs, or Elves.
One group of people that this website made sure that they didn’t leave out were Trolls. And that’s probably all this website is doing — trolling– but it still proves that no matter what it is, someone will bitch about it, even if it was the greatest 3D spectacle ever. One commenter said it best on their site by saying that the site’s owner should just focus on something important, like Proposition 8, and he was right, Avatar isn’t going to affect you at all, and there are a hell of a lot of things that could.
What do you guys think of this situation? Do you think anybody even cares? And what would you do if you saw someone protesting the movie? Leave some feedback in the comments, or shoot me an email.
