I think that cheese is pretty explicitly dickless
I expected you 6.2 stardates ago
Didn't watch Gravity Falls but as far as I knew they were confirmed gay, admittedly in the finale.
There was also a gay cop in Onward
I also don't agree that Finn was a minor character, he was a regular focal point in two movies much to the annoyance of the same conservative groups.
I'm by no means suggesting Disney is anywhere in the neighborhood of acceptable. Gay characters have a tendency to be tiny roles or unpromoted movies (I watch a lot of movies and I hadn't seen anything for Strange World before it released). I'm just saying "never" is probably inaccurate for modern Disney.
You mean the Disney that conservative groups got mad at because two women had a split second "kiss" in a movie, or the Disney that made Song of the South?
Been a while since I saw a reference to exceptional strength
Not enough robot arms to be Magnus Burnsides
Probably for the same reason we haven't here.
I'm not sure what that reason is but if I were to venture a guess it's that the instance isn't necessarily an issue, just a lot of the users that like to brigade and/or start shit
And Robert Duncan McNeill was not-Tom Paris before he was Tom Paris.
Or was he Nicholas Locarno before later being not-Nicholas Locarno
Also a Hirogen in Voyager, Smallville, SG-1, Chuck, you've seen him a lot probably regardless of what you usually watch.
He's also the voice of Venom in the most recent Spider-Man game
That's just a side effect of early warp testing
This lacks a lot of nuance that is needed.
George Carlin, who I think is still widely regarded as one of the greats, had a "rape can be funny" bit that I doubt would fly today because a whole lot of us have a better understanding of how rape jokes harm victims. Doing harm to such a group is, or at least should, never the goal of a quality comedian. That's why they're not generally made by comedians except the "you just can't take a joke" type.
You can absolutely criticize without doing harm to open wounds. There's space between not being allowed to criticize and not being allowed to joke.
Maybe you need something like the more power a group has the more they need to be able to bear being the target of joking. That's why a white, Christian, American man is a far cleaner target.
