Has the pandering become too much? Why the fuck do they feel the need to announce this like that want a special award? STOP FUCKING LOOKING FOR BROWNIE POINTS

It's Disney. They're so concerned with their family friendly image, that's actually pretty impressive news.
It's not pandering to simply include a character that isn't straight.
Also, it's common courtesy to include an article link:

I don't think you fully understand the situation we're in.

>political agenda

I'm not saying that can't have a gay character, I'm saying do they have to announce it and tell all the media? It comes across as pandering. Why can't I see the movie and see he's gay or be like "oh he's gay" like it's no big deal. Instead they have to take the media and spread the news like they are saving gay peoples lives with this.

It's an online news article. Literally anything vaguely interesting gets covered.

Lumiere was always gay and the first gay character on a disney movie was that lesbian couple on Searching for Dolly

As much as I hate to admit, acknowledging gay people exist without saying they're evil is seen as politically left wing.
It's stupid, nonsensical and deluded, but look on the bright side, atleast we're better off than trannies.

>complaining about about a character being a fag while being a fag yourself
Why is /polgbt/ so full of cucks?

I think it's part pandering, part wanting to reduce any outrage from parents walking out of the movies when it's suddenly in the film.
Honestly I'm sick of seeing people freak out, as if LeFou DIDN'T have a massive hard-on for Gaston with that damn song he sang in the original.

Being pandered to with one-dimensional gay characters shoehorned into a fucking Disney Princess movie is just lame. You don't have to be /polgbt/ to realize this.
Well this is a lie. There have been canon gays in Disney movies already like Zootopia had the gay elk-things there are others that have been confirmed.
Disney is pulling this media shit to pull in money.

There was also a lesbian couple in Finding Dory.

"Pandering" is just another word for marketing. It's what all corporations do.
If you support capitalism and the free market, shut the fuck up.

Like that was something they could control. Al Gore and Hillary Clinton let gay marriage support slip because they didn't want to risk losing any support until it was already being legalized and then put the ship in reverse at full speed to virtue signal it for votes
If you promote gay and pro-lgbt shit as a business it equals more money and gets you to think more positively of their brand. Otherwise they wouldn't do it at all.

Capitalism means consumer power. Fuck pandering, keep your money away from Disney.

yes, shit like this makes me nervous because now all the straighties will just yell at me more for 'pushing my sexuality onto other people' even when i couldnt care less about mainstream culture
also like, taking something already made and rebranding it (unless it's something you specifically care about and want to make original) just to score SJW points is stupid. i'd rather have an ORIGINAL lgbt character, not a re-hash of an already done well film?
capitalism is now exploiting lgbt people because we're somewhat profitable

>all the straighties will just yell at me more for 'pushing my sexuality onto other people'
Your sexuality is being pushed onto other people, just not by you.
>capitalism is now exploiting lgbt people because we're somewhat profitable
Virtue signalers are exploiting progressives using LGBT people.
