On the right is the original - on the right side is "Finn" - a black character
Anyway. The black Character is still there. Who they actually removed was Chewbacca.
You're right!!! Well it was a YouTube video who said that Finn was removed so I believed them....
Finn's original level of prominence was reduced in the Chinese poster compared the original American poster, and it was indeed to cater to Chinese audiences.
In your eyes that's the case. In my eyes the Chinese version seems more symmetrical. If they did it for the reasons you claim how do you explain Chewie getting the
and not the Finn?
Why would that need to be something to be 'explained' in conjunction with Finn's demotion? I don't know why they removed Chewbacca.
American television is saturated with 'queer' characters compared to American blockbuster movies. Ever wondered why that is? Because American blockbuster movies need to be marketed all over the world, especially China.
Is American television saturated with queer characters?
EDIT: You dishonestly asked a question based on a claim I did not make. I said it was saturated with queer characters
compared to American blockbuster movies. However, given the below, I am willing to upgrade the claim without qualification as a comparison, because queer characters are over-represented compared to US population estimates.
I hadn’t noticed that to be especially true.
I'm surprised you failed to notice. Did you watch television in the 1980s or 1990s? Do you watch it now?
A report by GLAAD has found there's been growing "LGBTQ representation on television".
www.bbc.com
A new report has found LGBT representation on US TV is at a high, with nearly 12% of regular characters who are LGBT, up 2.8% from last year.
No. You dishonestly are accusing me of being required to respond entirely to the totality of whatever you write in exactly the form you prefer, retroactively, in some cases, in order to have a reason to rage explode.
I asked an honest question because it honestly had not occurred to me that US television is 'saturated' by gay characters. You mentioned it--yes in reference to American movies but that wasn't the part that I was curious about. It wasn't intended as a gotcha or anything else. I had never heard anyone even vaguely suggest that there were too many gay characters these days on tv or anything similar. So, any statement about LGBT representation saturating television caught my attention.
Someone who was actually interested in honest conversation would respond by either re-stating that in their opinion/according to this source/or data (link) supports OR by saying: I was only speaking in reference with tv compared with films.
I watch some television but honestly, very little in the 80's or 90's. Or earlier. I have a fairly narrow focus on what I like to watch and what I'm willing to allocate time to watch. In the last couple of years, I've watched more television than I ever have in my life but that's a pandemic thing, not a TV has gotten to be so interesting thing.
But referencing the 80's and 90's (and let's go back further than that) there were some obviously gay male characters whose sexual preferences were never even hinted at because sex was never hinted at. I'm thinking first of all: Uncle Arthur (portrayed by Paul Lynde an actor who was gay IRL) in the series Bewitched. As a child I had no idea but as an adult, it's fairly obvious that the character was gay but in a way that didn't actually reference his romantic life at all and in a way that allowed people who didn't care to know to not know. It wasn't that it was hidden--it just wasn't...mentioned. Lots of actors in TV shows from my childhood were gay, and lots of actors in Hollywood were and are gay. It kept a dark secret in those days because of 'morality clauses' and the McCarthy era and fears that the actor would no longer be believed as a romantic lead. Society was not quite ready for openly gay characters. But if you want to see a tiny glimmer of Hollywood recognizing that gay people did exist, you should watch Some Like It Hot, all the way to the end.
The earliest TV show I can remember when being gay was mentioned was Three's Company and that character was not gay but pretending to be. Honestly, I watched very little television when I was growing up and as a college student and a young adult, I didn't have a television-or want one, either.
I did google something like gay characters on US television and at least some of the ones they listed are definitely not gay but that's a quibble. Also a couple of shows where they mentioned that this character is gay but totally leave out their partner and another gay character on the show. There were also a LOT of shows I'd never heard of.
As for there being an increase in the number of LGBT characters on television over the last year or so: Possibly?
