Why did they make him gay and then reveal it in the most gimmicky and pathetic way imaginable?

I bet Pegg, Lin and co. were patting each other on the backs when they conjured up this idea.

Remember when Takei said they shouldn't make him gay then his handlers turned him into a lunatic liberal on twitter to atone?

In Hollywood : GAYS > ASIANS. They added this scene to try to make up for it.

I rememebr SJWs hating on based Takei for being problematic and internalized homophobic.

It was pretty fun. I bet Takei was laughing his ass off too, the madman! He likes to bait SJWs a lot. Or at least he used to.

Cos Takei knows how pathetic this contemporary approach to homosexuality in film is and that is isn't really done with sincere intentions.

They never revealed he was gay.

He just had a reunion with his daughter and brother.

The funniest thing was Pegg calling him and telling him he was doing it to honor him, and when Takei said thanks but no thanks, Pegg got butthurt and began to shit on Takei and telling people on social media that Takei didn't know what it meant to be gay.

They made a fucking huge song and dance about it prior to the film's release, m8. Told all the entertainment press that his character was gay

This. It's so lame that they didn't have the guts to do it right. If you want to make a change, do it, don't pussyfoot around it.

The same guys had no problem putting the fucking beastie boys as a plot point of the movie.

Pegg's always been one of those fake progressive types. A patronising condescending shit cunt

too bad they couldnt shoehorn some plot in

>Why did they make him gay

See image related.

>and then reveal it in the most gimmicky and pathetic way imaginable?

What's gimmicky or pathetic about a man coming home from deployment and meeting his family at the dock?

They made him gay because the original actor was gay. Its fucking insulting and implies that gay men cant act straight roles.

This. And when Takei respectfully said he didn't think it was needed, they shat on him and basically called him an old man out of touch with gay and asian rights. Straight white people called him that.

How do you think he felt when they turned him, the only Asian, gay?

It's pretty patronizing.

Yeah you are gay, so let's make the character gay in retrospect cause obviously gay actors can't play straight characters

>What's gimmicky or pathetic about a man coming home from deployment and meeting his family at the dock?
It's the way in which they approached it. It was never implied or mentioned in the previous films, it was never mentioned again afterwards. It wasn'#t important to the plot, or the character. It was a stunt by Pegg to grab attention and pretend he cares about LGBT issues.

What would have been a statement was if the made Kirk a gay from the very start. But you know as well as I do this would never happen.

>tfw fucking L&O:SVU does the asian man recuring character is casually revealled as gay better than your million dollars Hollywood blockbuster

Because virtue signalling.
