Lightyear: Ain't no son of mine seeing two girls kiss

[jazzy]

What's worse than a shameless movie spin off to a beloved childhood Disney film? Two grown women kissing each other, of course. This latest movie from Disney has been making its rounds on the internet and stirring fights everywhere after Disney included a previously cut scene regarding the expression of a relationship between two parents, who happen to both be women.

 

The review bombing is small but at an audience score of 4.9 on metacritic, you can read some comments for yourself: https://www.metacritic.com/movie/lightyear-2022/user-reviews?dist=negative

You can also see more reviews on RT albeit they don't seem to have any valuable sorting method so it's a bit annoying to find negative reviews given its highly positive rating: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lightyear/reviews?type=user

 

For decades kids movies have shown heterosexual relationships between parents, teenagers, and even kids. Playful childhood relationships only ever between a boy and a girl. As soon as you show even two gay parents in a kid's movie people lose their mind saying "NOT IN A KID'S MOVIE" as if showing someone who is gay is still too indecent for kids.

i dont want my kids seeing any gay movies unless there is extreme penetration so that way I don't have to explain it to them myself!

The scene was deleted so that it could be shown in bigoted countries such as those in Asia and The Middle East that think that it's a good idea to promote traditional family structures and don't like the idea of normalizing or promoting deviant behavior.

 

Personally, I think they should have left it in to send the message that bigots don't get to enjoy cool new Disney movies.

Why're you labeling negative reviews as review bombing? People can have differing opinions. Parents/Guardians have every right to screen material for their children, and decide what's appropriate for them.

It's a wonder why these types of negative review bombings only happen with movies that have off-hand gay characters in them....

 

I'm not gonna be one to say that Pixar has been trending up in quality over the years, but this is literally just a typical Pixar movie that happens to have gay characters in it. And now all of a sudden this one is boring? Just scrolling through the reviews you find people just simply telling you that it is "LGBT Activism" in the movie and that they don't think that it's even remotely okay for kids to even be familiar with what gay people are.

There's a difference between gore and pretending that something outside of the concept of heteronormativity doesn't exist.

You're trying to minimize the opinions of others the same as OP. Whether or not your statement of review bombing only happens with respect to gay characters in them is factual doesn't minimize their opinion.

 

Understand that parents/guardians can raise their children how they please within the confines of the law.

You're right, I'm not gonna let my kids watch any movies with black people in them. Can't let them see that kinda thing.

 

 

EDIT: THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!

Can you explain to me what exactly their opinion on the movie is?

 

It must take me four years of film study to determine the intricacies of this in-depth and loquacious review that goes into great detail of the movie's characters and plot. Really, after reading the review I've certainly been convinced this is a 0 star movie!!
