LGBT has always come across as a convenient political alliance more than any actual shared understanding or consideration between the groups (at least to me as an outsider). They don't get along well.
They liked to present a united front, but that now dumpster fire of a community has so many internal fractures and factions that it makes African wars/civil wars understandable.

Hell, the transgender component alone has split the community.

Yep.

Reminds me of a story from a while back about a really attractive college girl.


They typically only acknowledge bisexuality if said bisexual doesn't date or settle down with someone their own gender.

Worse still, most hate directed against bisexual women are from lesbians.

Aren't long term lesbian relationships typically very toxic anyway? High rates of domestic abuse, both physical and emotional, and a nearly guaranteed dead bedroom.

I know I already listed a bunch of reasons that Bros is floping at the Blockoffice. But a friend pointed out one I missed. Bros is an r rated rom-com. There is a reasons that most movies go for PG-13 ratings.

G and PG are hard to get and most of time only needed for young kid movies. But the sweet spot is PG-13 which captures families and teenagers which make up a large chunk of the movie going audience. But R limits you to only an older audience that does not have Kids.

There is a reason people where shocked Logan and Deadpool did so well. I honestly think being an R movie most likely knocked down the opening weekend by a few million alone.

I'm unsure, but it wouldn't surprise me if true.

A lot of lesbians do become generally unhappier the longer a relationship goes on, but it's a toss up between if it's the relationship itself causing unhappiness or because the people in the relationship have their own mental health issues, like anyone and everyone else does, e.g. depression, anxiety, which causes the issues (which'd happen in a hetero relationship, too).
They made the doper a black guy. Racists. :sneaky:
Oh shit, you could totally troll the wokies by saying that they're buying into the stereotype that dope dealers are all Black, rastafarian-like dudes. :ROFLMAO:

He doesn't sound like Mario, at all.

Yes he does, he just sounds more like Mario as voiced by Captain Lou Albano. And based on your post, you're probably too young to remember but when Charles Martinet's take on Mario came out with the reveal of Super Mario 64, a great number of people were pissed off (incidentally I wasn't, I was willing to hear more, just like I am now with Pratt's take, and I thought the high pitched Italian accent was just as valid a performance) because the rough Brooklynite accent introduced by Captain Lou Albano was, at the time, the iconic voice of Mario. Even Charles Martinet debated using the deep Brooklyn accent for his audition for Mario before settling on the fun happy lighter tone he used.
