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.

Probably, but obviously Snyder approved of the line. Even the slavish Watchmen changed dialogue here and there. As for the Gotham shot, I'm definitely reading into it, but you don't just stick gay extras into the background for nothing. Why are these two guys making out, and why Gotham of all places? The city must be pretty gay-friendly, and considering Gotham is supposed to be the worst of the worst, I don't think it's supposed to be a positive thing. That's just my interpretation, and one colored in part by Snyder's past portrayal of gays.

Okay, fine. He never outright claimed it.
