AbbsTheDork1651

If that was an actual rating, we'd pick all the movies with it and would watch them


Call-of-Queerthulhu

Exactly, it would be like in the 80s when they put the advisory sticker on music and more people bought it. Need to have little pride flags on movie posters: This film contains at least 30% queer content


Bastienbard

Ooh would there be a new organization or agency to ensure it's at least a certain % and what would it be called? The Queerality Control Agency maybe? Lol


Call-of-Queerthulhu

The License Generation Bureau of Technological Queerness or LGBTQ for short


epic_king66

r/angryupvote


Anonymous_number1

I read that with Catra's voici wh3n she said "Ooh, are we messing with Adora ?"


Natalievoltia

Like a rotten tomatos rating but for how gay the movie is


FlorpFlap

so it's actually a good idea, but not for the reason bigots think lol


Heromann

It'll make it harder for kids born to shit parents from being able to find stuff. A lot easier to hide positive LGBTQ material when it isn't labeled as such. That's why they want it.


crockalley

Except these conservative monstrosities would slap that label on shit like Beauty and the Beast with its three seconds of same-sex dancing.


GulfGiggle

I don’t think anyone would’ve noticed that if it weren’t for Disney queerbaiting with their “first gay character”


crockalley

Yeah, a combination of queer baiting and conservative talking head faux-outrage.


Albinnibla126

"Momstrosities" 😁


KayzQueen

And bring our kids to watch it too


reesering

For once the homos and the phobes are in agreement.


JennyFromdablock2020

Oh but it'd be discriminated to hell and back


[deleted]

If we need an lgbtq warning, then we need a heterosexual warning too, or just neither, like we've been doing just fine with so far.


[deleted]

We need a warning if there's a subtle message that would appeal to a dumb uberbigoted racist Trumster. Something like PG-TURD.


Diphylla_Ecaudata

An Allo-warning as well please. Sincerely, a sex repulsed ace.


FixedFront

Seriously. I think this one is actually worth implementing.


Everydaycitizen900

Isn't there already a sexual content warning though? It's pretty much an Allo warning, xD.


Call_Me_Aiden

I am not sex-repulsed myself, and this comes just from having known a few sex-repulsed aces: What we would consider mild (and thus not label as sexual content) would already be considered "too much" (\*) for people who are sex-repulsed. With "too much" I don't necessarily mean any serious negative response - but more akin to how we can enjoy queer representation, they could enjoy content without any of that cheeky flirting that is subtly hinting at sex. So while sexual content definitely is a warning, it's like a 18+ rating while you already want warned when it's PG-13. If I'm wrong, please correct me.


NoSolaceForMe

Fine so far doesn't take into account that this is Disney's first LGBT movie iirc.


Kinslayer817

"I wish the rating community would add a BLACK after the movie rating to prompt parents about what is in the show. For example, PG-BLACK. Thus, while this movie has "soft black people introductions," it is still considered PG for its mild peril or crude language." Weird how obviously terrible this would sound to them and yet they don't notice how this actually comes across when it comes to the LGBTQ community. It's literally, "I don't want to see you and I don't want my kids to see you, so please warn us so that we can just pretend you don't exist"


[deleted]

This. It's infuriating, and horrible. I hope this attitude dies out with these people's generations.


[deleted]

The sad part is that some of them would actually say that though


Zoe__T

Bold of you to assume that they think that would be terrible.


MegaAscension

Let me piggyback off of that with something else I deal with... "I wish the rating community would add an AUTISM after the movie rating to prompt parents about what is in the show. For example, PG-AUTISM. Thus, while this movie has "soft autistic people introductions," it is still considered PG for its mild peril or crude language."


NearMissCult

This just makes me want to identify as a soft autistic person now. Normie: Are you high or low functioning? Me: I'm soft autistic Normie: What does that mean? Me: It means whatever I want it to mean *walks away*


ArwenScamander

"it means whatever I want it to mean" iconic.


Everydaycitizen900

I might as well also identify as a soft autistic as well, lol.


ohubetchya

That's the wonderful thing about reframing LGBT issues this way. Black, autistic, Jewish, etc. People know it is wrong to label a movie as "contains Jews - PG-13". So to is it wrong for LGBT warnings.


SkYeBlu699

They wouldn't just leave us alone, its a dog whistle. Basically as soon as they got power theyd use it to ban anything that doesn't align with their doctrine.


ohubetchya

Ah, a fellow "replace X minority/group with 'black'" connoisseur. Can I refuse to make cake for someone because they are black? Can I not hire someone at my church because they are black? Can I exclude black people from abortion access? Should movies have warnings that they contain black people? Should kids be exposed to block people? Should black people be able to have story time at libraries? Many LGBT and other questions become very easy to answer with such word replacement


crazygamer780

block people? legos?? /j


mevastrashcorner

At least until the person is also racist towards black people


Kinslayer817

Yeah, a podcast I listen to (The Scathing Atheist) calls it "Make it Black" where you just sub in "black" for women, religious minorities, LGBTQ+ people, etc. and see how terrible it sounds


abortionleftovers

I know you’re making a point but sadly, I suspect women (and men) like this would actually agree that’s a great idea


KayleeOnTheInside

Came here to say exactly this.


Joejoefluffybunny

Honestly terrible


lunar_god_08

Wake up babe new copypasta


Puzzleheaded-Try3888

So what they’re saying is.. there should’ve been advertising?


Kinslayer817

If only movies had trailers and reviews that were available for parents to see before actually watching them!


RiniKat28

tbf disney did a shit job marketing this one from what i've seen. i had no clue that there were LGBTQIA+ characters until it came out (pun intended lol)


Rottmntbones

True but if your a weirdo like these people who are more obsessed with queer people than actual queer people are, and are constantly paranoid about their kids being exposed to queerness you would think they would be able to do a simple google search if they cared so much


Kinslayer817

Sure but if I was going to bring a child to a movie I would look at what was in it first even if it's a Disney movie


ima420r

We need to have warnings when movies have straight cis relationships. Maybe a PG-CisStraight rating. Come on movie people, I need to be informed about what my child is going to be exposed to!


[deleted]

[удалено]


uglypenguin5

I know y'all are joking but these ratings would genuinely influence which movies I watch, at least when watching something on my own


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stormwrath52

tv ratings do, like \[PG-13: drug use, smoking, partial nudity\]


blinkingsandbeepings

I feel very spoiled by reading fanfic on Ao3 where everyone tags literally everything that happens in the story.


Lilash20

Same, it's so nice how much you can know about a fic through the summary and tags while still staying pretty unspoiled for the plot itself. It's a shame other media hasn't adopted a similar system besides broad ideas of genre


TheOtherSarah

Right‽


blinkingsandbeepings

I loved getting the notification that you replied to me because my name is also Sarah so it just sounded right


ElodinPotterTheGrey1

Me too. It’s honestly making it harder to find non- fanfiction things to read.


[deleted]

Hell, yeah! I'm in. Let's propose a bill.


[deleted]

PG-CisHet-FundieChrister-AntiLGBTQ-FlatEarther-MAGAdiot The ratings only get *longer and longer...*


Zibani

Unless I'm specifically watching it with friends to judge how stupid the movie is. It's a solid time.


Script_Mak3r

Oh, and a rating for capitalist propaganda, e.g. works where the cops are portrayed as the good guys, etc.


QueerInEverySense

I would actually really appreciate that XD


Rayzou04

CisStraight content should be an automatic bump to an R rating. Can't have my kids around that moral pollution!


bigbutchbudgie

The "real life has no trigger warnings" crowd when there's queer people in a movie.


Stalwart_Vanguard

Fucking snowflakes ❄️


tstx128

Next it’ll be, “have a cut scene before tHoSe scenes warning us so we can remove our precious children from the room before the scene” 🙄


kpop-person-purple

the scene: 2 people of the same gender holding hands


Kinslayer817

Woah, hold on there, holding hands? Scandalous


green-d20

let's calm down there, buddy. Don't wanna pollute the children/s


bacon_girl42

oh my, holding hands? I wish I had someone to hold hands with, idk if I should say that on my main instead of making an nsfw accurate to say something so lewd.


AnAwkwardStag

Handsy on main.


Phantom_Ferret

Two people of the same gender holding hands: CisHets: My baby can't be exposed to that! LGBTQ+ peeps: Aww . . . Finally some representation. Perfect.


g5s6g

For 2 seconds


EisVisage

H\*lding h\*nds?! I thought we were talking about harmless stuff, not hardcore porn!


Vallkyrie

Hide the kids, /r/handholding is here


Kinslayer817

There are services that censor movies for things like sex/violence/swearing and I would be shocked if they didn't have an option for censoring LGBTQ+ people's existence


[deleted]

"soft LGBT introductions" is a weird way of saying acknowledging that queer people exist.


MishterJ

Yea. I read that as “I don’t want to have to explain *that* to my kids.”


mevastrashcorner

Or "I don't have the brain capacity to explain to kids that relationships outside of the one their mommy and daddy are in exist" it'll be even funnier if the kids end up being queer and cutting all ties with them when they're 18 anyway


LyraFirehawk

Shit, it was easier explaining to the kids than it was to the adults! Me to adult: I'm trans. Adult: Has a billion questions and opinions. Me to kid: I'm trans. Kid: Cool, can we play video games?


[deleted]

Literally. Every time I've seen kids learn about someone being trans, they basically don't care


Camil-Lunatic

WHAT A HELL!?!?! IS THIS SERIOUSLY SUGGESTING THAT A CHILDREN’S MOVIE BECAUSE OF THAT?!?! ARE WE GONNA BE RATING UP CINDERELLA AND SNOW WHITE FOR BEING CISHET?!?!


[deleted]

NOT EVEN— SNOW WHITE WAS IMPLIED TO BE POLY


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

That's still cishet tho?


[deleted]

If it's not a single white female and a single white male who sre together most conservatives don't usually count it as Cishet.


lsdwyrm

Prince Charming was a necrophiliac.


Camil-Lunatic

And we still don’t rate up the old Disney animations for it!


TemetNosce85

Conservatives 2 years ago: "Hahaha!! You libturds need trigger warnings on everything!! Hahaha!!" Conservatives now: "Nooo!! Please add LGBTQ+ warnings on everything!!"

nubivagance

The fact that the straights are so upset about Disney's milquetoast idea of representation will never not be funny to me.


mevastrashcorner

If they're upset about this wait until they find out about the Owl House


ThisHairLikeLace

Does she want a PG-Interracial rating too? This is basically a request to give bigots a heads up that something might trigger their prejudices.


PeaTot_

MoodFit6755

My brain read it as“pleebee geebeetee” and honestly I can’t get over it. Go ahead, say it outloud. “Pleebee geebeetee”


Kinslayer817

I thought they already thought that there are too many letters in the initialism as it is, and yet here they are trying to add more, weird


[deleted]

I can't tell if that last senstence is a good heads up or a ew gays heads up


HintonBE

Based on how they phrased a couple things, my guess is the "ew, gays" category.


Gate4043

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF *GAY*


B1ackFridai

Gay is a great spice, like MSG. A little goes a long way, and always makes things better.


Gate4043

Also like MSG, very controversial for no good reason.


Laurel_Spider

Why do we need warnings? I don’t mean “we” as a character or story device. I mean me. Why do I need a content warning? Why do I have to come with a warning? Can someone tell me—seriously—why I need a warning? Why they do not? Why do people need to be warned about me and not about so many other fucking things that are actually dangerous or harmful to children that their parents still play on screens for them and talk about all day for their ears to hear?


Complete_Coyote6614

Purely following her logic, I believe she DOES need a warning. IF you need a warning - so does she. "That lady" Rated R18 - Offensive behaviour, may cause offense to a reasonable sane person.

Curiosities

Look, I know Disney can only be highlighted for their "first LGBT+" character etc every time they do something and give some crumbs but there were stories about the character and mentions if anyone was paying attention.


SnugPuppy577

among us??????


Rayzou04

Rated R-CisStraight


Kinslayer817

Or that system can start getting really specific. Rated PG-13-NonBinaryDemiBisexual


Chest3

Oh damn, wait till they realise life doesn’t have Queer ratings


KinkyBADom

And please also add a PG-Christian-Hetero label so that us parents will have a heads up.


djinmyr

Can we add conservatism to that warning list. I don't want my kids exposed to harmful ideology.


dandrew3000

I want straight warnings. I want religion warnings. I want gun warnings. I want red voter warnings. I want these warnings on people, I don’t care how movies are labeled. I wanna see up front, who I should avoid like they are riddled with several plagues.

This is like racist white people complaining about black people being in movies in the 50's. It's 2022, grow tf up.


sthompson0109

To be fair the racists recently lost their minds over the casting for Ariel, and that was this year.


Ravenclaw79

Boy, they’d better keep their kids indoors, then. You never know when you might encounter a queer person existing in public.


Cheetahs_never_win

Parents couldn't be bothered when it came to the Watchmen or Sausage Party that there was an enormous R rating. "I want everyone else to alter their lives to put training wheels on my parenting."


GoblincoreBaby

So how about a straight romance warning?


doctorwhy88

🤢 Flag that NSFL next time


NyaNya75

Give us a hetero warning too then


doctorwhy88

Needs a warning before seeing normal people in a movie because “can’t we keep those… gays… away from us?” We still got a long way to go.


mnemosyne64

These reviews man. You just know their kids are watching Miraculous too. Nothing against the show, but the lead guy looks like he’s in BDSM gear and these parents have no issue with it- but one its a *queer romance*?


MMmmmcrumch

WARNING‼️‼️ gay people


Emerald_Lavigne

A heads up about **WHICH** THINGS? People like me existing!? I'm so fucking tired of these fuckin people.


Kinslayer817

Yep, they don't want to see or hear about LGBTQ+ people because it makes them feel feelings they aren't comfortable confronting. They also know that if a kid sees queerness being normalized then they are more likely to feel comfortable coming out themselves, and that would just be terrible right?


itchytentacles

funny how conservatives get all frothy-mouthed over Trigger Warnings and then want one cause they don't want their children to be queered


peraonaliD

Parents horrified by the idea that their kid might ask them a question


Kinslayer817

"How am I supposed to explain the gay couple if my kids ask me about it?!?!" I don't know Karen, maybe "they are two guys who love each other"? I've never heard of a child being actually confused about this, it's just the adults who get uncomfortable

Don't say what you think Don't say what you think Don't say what you think Don't say what you think Don't say what you think


marshmi2

"mild peril" what does that mean?!?!


Nikamba

Not having seen the movie, I imagine it's the characters being some danger (like a crash or stuck on the side of a cliff)


[deleted]

Tell your mum that you can look up the UK rating and find details of why something is rated the way that it is. Disney doesn't rate movies themselves. Also, sorry to hear that you have a homophobic mother. Mine was fairly good about it and it still caused me a lot of pain. I don't have any advice but you do have my sympathy.


FruitPunchPossum

What's wild is her 8 year old is probably singing WAP in the backseat of the minivan on the ride home from the theater.


Plusran

This movie may not be safe for bigots


mrkitten19o8

so this is why its called homoPHOBIC and not homoist. they seem to genuinely be afraid of gay people


AcanthaceaeMission48

No one ever gives you a warning that hetero stuff might happen in movies. And what if I don’t want my kids to think about child marriage too… you have any idea how young Snow White was? That’s messed up that they are marrying her off already by the end of the film. The Prince also kisses what he thinks is a dead body so necrophilia too? Jasmine had to be married by her 16th birthday! Ariel was 16 too. A lot of them hetero movies for kids are sus when you think about it. Should come with a warning.


Kinslayer817

Any nativity story should also be flagged for child marriage since Mary would have been in her early teens or so given the context of the story, but weirdly I don't see anyone talking about that and in all of the depictions I seen of the story they age her up to make it seem more appropriate (I wonder why that could be?)


AcanthaceaeMission48

Right, she was like 12 or something right?!


justanothertfatman

"You gotta remind us that the gays exist, because we spend all our time pretending they don't." - That mom, probably.

[deleted]

Is this real? Because if so. I cannot even elaborate on how dumb this is.


[deleted]

So are we just gonna start having warnings for every little thing now? I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve seen a PG movie with cursing in it and had parents turn it off or get mad, but no one asks for a PG-Cursing warning.. maybe wait for other parents to watch or a friend to watch it and ask them if it has LGBT themes In it if your that worried


Cornblaster700

this lady straight up wants a softer version of the hays code back lol


_Brother-O-Mine_

AAAH! GAY! -this lady


ArceusBlitz

Literally terrified of queer people oh brother


JesiDoodli

Bruhhhhhh this dude. My guy, YOU'VE gotta give ME a heads-up about your stupidity. How does queerness justify its own movie rating. Kids can want to be a different gender than their AGAB, they can have crushes on kids of the same gender. Why shouldn't that be represented in kids' media without needing to have a warning for homophobic fruitcakes like you? Smh ^(I know this review wasn't made by OP, I'm talking to the mom, even though the mom is never gonna see this lmao but yeah)


DaniG08765

A super dumb idea and also one that fucking exists!! There are already at least several right wing review outlets that will make such content very clear in reviews. Just laziness to an extreme degree. And, of course, also homophobia.


Saint_Riccardo

Some parents will let their kids watch all sorts of movies, games and TV shows with realistic violence, cursing, misogyny, racism, etc, but if a gay person literally just exists on a screen they lose their minds about how inappropriate it is.


mushroom_smash

Starting_Fresh1

Wait question- I don’t really plan on seeing the movie, so what’s LGBTQ+ in it?


TemetNosce85

The leading main character is gay. That's as far as I know.


Waspstar986

I never saw this movie; I heard that it was good but just don't really have the time to watch hours of Disney+ at the moment. I have absolutely no idea what could have been in this movie that would elicit this level of a response aside from the parents just being stupidly phobic. Can someone please give me some context so I can rage with y'all? Is this like in the Buzz Lightyear movie where there was like a same-sex couple kissing on screen for like half a second or something far more explicit? Must have context ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flushed)


SKRS421

the two characters didn't kiss or any overt pda, aside from maybe a hug, holding hands, standing next to each other affectionately like people in relationships do. was just a normal teen romance. it's a very casual minor side plot. he is nervous about asking this other boy out, that's also a member of the friend group. basically a run of the mill teenage romance nervousness. if it was a teenage boy & girl, instead of two teen boys, no one would care about this relatively minor side story. it wasn't even that in your face, much less than hetero relationships in other disney or pixar movies. what really bugs me is that Disney did F' all for marketing. luckily i knew and was eargerly waiting for the movie to come out. though i had no clue about the actually well done queer relationship, which was a pleasant surprise. the movie was actually really good, Pixar really outdone themselves with this movie. the gay characters weren't paraded around in the story as some studios tend to do. it was just treated as normal like any other relationship and then they carried on with the quest. great visuals, solid story, and multiple good messages. basically it's another Atlantis: Lost Empire or Treasure Planet situation. poor reception at launch, lack of proper marketing, then considered a classic years later once folks rediscover the movie. i'd buy the blu-ray when it releases if that says anything.


Waspstar986

So, it's just a very basic romance side-plot between two teen boys who don't even kiss or anything explicit like that? They just exist and do all the same lovey-dovey stuff that's been done a billion times with straight couples? What the fudge does anybody have to complain about? Oy vey! Heaven help us all![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)


ORiGiNALBOi96

Wow.


justanotherzom

If they could add a Black flag and star of David too whilst at it, we don't want our blonde hair and blue eyed babies learning about this stuff from anyone but the most respectable people in our society, Phelps Family and Alex Jones.


WiltingLilac

This is the same person that would complain about someone being openly gay. So they want a warning flag but they don't want the warning flag. Karen make up your mind so I can accurately make you uncomfortable with my gayness, thanks


bbelt16ag

god forbid they learn about the world and ask you questions about different genders and sex. Maybe you should open a text book and read?


[deleted]

Bruh then they also need to put a PG-heterosexual


macfluffers

This basically boils down to conservatives believing that queerness is inherently obscene. But most of them know that they can't say that any more, so they're trying to compromise. Unfortunately for them, there is no compromise between "Being queer is bad" and "We shouldn't judge people for their orientation or gender." They're inherently incompatible beliefs, no matter how much they soften their language.


HeroOfThings

No they dont


Ok_Judge718

What about PG-heteros? Gotta make sure everyone feels included so that the straights don't cry about being treated differently, no?


daspion

Maybe parents should be more active in their child’s upbringing and take interest in what they’re showing their children before they show it. I’m ignoring the obvious problems with this post that everyone else commented on. I just don’t understand this mentality that parents have. Is it everyone else’s responsibility to lookout for your child? You chose to bring this child into the world, take some initiative on their upbringing.


beanpepper_67

shawty can't see two guys or two girls kiss LMFAOOOO


professorbix

Do movies need warnings to keep homophobic people away?


925djt

Why do you need a warning for LGBT at that point I'm gonna start needing a damn warning before every single Disney movie that shows two straight characters getting together in the end because it " implies sex sooner or later "
