Snyder cast an openly queer actor as the Flash. Saying that hates gay men seems like a stretch. Also, he didn’t say that not killing is for virgins. He said that after a story like Watchmen, superheroes were never the same again, so Batman killing people wasn’t as big a deal in comparison.

For context, this was the full quote
And no, I don’t think Zack Snyder is some brilliant filmmaker. I just think that the way he’s characterized by some of his detractors is unfair.

Oh Jesus, haven't we had enough of each other?

The gay guy in Dawn of the Dead walked around in women's shoes torturing prisoners with his coming out stories, the Spartans in 300 derisively call the Persians "boy-lovers" when in reality they were quite fond of boys themselves, he turned Ozymandias into a flamboyant queen who hangs out at 54 and has files of "Boys" on his computer because of an offhand comment Rorschach made about him possibly being gay, and the first thing Superman sees when he enters the shithole of Gotham is a couple of guys making out. Ezra Miller is the "I'm not racist, I have a friend who's black" defense. Mel Gibson cast a Jew in Hacksaw Ridge. Guess he has no problem with Jews.

shadowrun covered why a lot of that Watchmen stuff is bullshit. Snyder epitomizes 90s grimdark edgelord comics that were coming off of Watchmen and taking the wrong lessons from it.

Isn’t the “boy lovers” quote a direct line from the comic? I haven’t read the 300 comic, but that seems like the kind of thing Frank Miller would write. Also, how is a blink and you’ll miss it background shot an indication of how Snyder feels about gay people? It sounds like you’re reading too much into it. If Clark had turned around to look at the couple disapprovingly, then you would’ve had a better point.

FYI, I never said that I agreed with Snyder’s reasoning for having Batman kill. Hell, I’m actually inclined to agree with the notion that his preference for grim dark storytelling is a detriment. I’m simply saying that he never claimed that anyone who has a problem with Batman killing is some virgin loser.
