Everything is not awesome with “The LEGO Batman Movie,” at least according to a pair of right-wing websites. As reported by The Advocate, America’s leading LGBT magazine and website, John-Henry Westen of Canada’s LifeSiteNews cautions that the children’s movie is “chockful of pro-gay propaganda.”
“Think the sexual innuendo of the Flintstones minus the real humor,” Westen wrote. “It seemed the creators [of “The LEGO Batman Movie”] were so anxious to subtly indoctrinate the little ones into the gender ideology that making it humorous came as a distant second thought.”
Not content to milk his own discontent at “The LEGO Batman Movie,” Westen quotes Michael Hamilton of PJ Media, a faith-based site whose “main focus is on the three main areas that will have the most impact on the future of America: politics, parenting and lifestyle.” Hamilton worries that the film may lead to “an awkward conversation with your kid a few years before you want it,” and goes on to spoil one of the film’s best running gags: the fact that Dick Grayson doesn’t know that Bruce Wayne is Batman.
“[T]wo men adopting a son together sounds like a dream come true to Richard, the orphan Bruce Wayne adopts without telling him he’s Batman,” writes Hamilton, “That’s why, when Richard hesitates to board a bat vehicle without Bruce-Dad’s permission, Batman tells him he and Bruce-Dad share custody of him. Richard doesn’t need Bruce-Dad’s permission; he has Bat-Dad’s!”
Hamilton goes on: “This solution thrills Richard, who unblinkingly climbs aboard (and later becomes Robin). The bubbly young man is tickled as he spells it out for viewers: Yesterday he didn’t have a dad, and now he has two dads!”
to be fair, its not wrong, they were not even being subtle with joker and batman
Robert Sanchez
He then attacks the film’s central conflict, calling the relationship between Batman and the Joker a “he-ro-mance—like ‘bro-mance’ (a platonic sort of romance between dudes).” Hamilton explains that “Batman essentially ‘breaks up’ with Joker early in the story, making Joker cry and setting up Batman as a cold egomaniac.” He then argues, “Rehabilitating Batman for relationships is a plot priority. Batman and Joker’s relationship is the flagship. Piecing together a non-nuclear family is close in tow.”
Stating the obvious, Hamilton adds that all of this results in “making ‘LEGO Batman’ about bringing two dudes together without making it about bringing two dudes together.” Hamilton believes that the “subliminal nature’ of these questionable themes” is “subtle enough most people won’t notice.” He considers this a “mixed blessing.”
Hamilton is more concerned about what he calls a veiled “anatomical joke.” When Richard Grayson tells Bruce that all the other orphans call him Dick, the older Wayne replies, “Well, kids can be Cruel.” Hamilton asks readers, “Dick doesn’t get it. Will your kid?” (Don’t anyone tell these two pundits about Rainbow Batman.)

Batman has always been gay propaganda, though.
Adam Harris
I guess if you can't stop thinking about men putting their penises into each other, maybe in some kind of bathroom stall, anything's possible
Brayden Reed
This is just about as stupid as praising the movie for it's "obvious" pro LGBT message. It's just as forced and obnoxious on the other end of the spectrum.
Carson Thomas
>trolling retarded Christian blogs literally looking for a fight >reporting it as news What a bunch of fucking faggots.
Owen Richardson
>LEGOS R GHEY Yo, fuck those bullies. Legos are the shit.
Liam Bell
it wasnt forced.the batmanXjoker and robin having 2 dads flowed naturally.
the only forced thing was barbara being a strong independent woman and how every girl in the movie was smart,and men where silly.
Noah Wood
This. He's been picking up athletic young boys to come stay with him at his reclusive mansion for generations. Batman is hella-gay.
Lucas Brooks
What? If batman was presented as one thing in the movies, it's being straigt as a telephone pole, always having a hot female lego girlfriend and only hanging out with other dudes to impress them or have fun.
Nathaniel Williams
They do it because people share it for the outrage, then they get clicks which means they get ad revenue, so they crank up the rhetoric to 11 and make up problems for even more clicks. OP is part of the problem for sharing this nonsense. The proper response is to ignore it and move on with your life since it has zero impact on it.
Elijah Baker
Nothing new under the sun.
Mason Adams

Oliver Ross
>The Advocate Isn't that the site that said you can't be gay if you aren't a liberal?
Nathaniel Allen
Who the fuck cares about these literal retards? Why do people give every "outraged" group the time of day, and act like their numbers are substantial at all?
God, I hate this clickbait shit.
Jason Kelly
Exactly. Bruce always has some disposable fag-hag for cover, but his actual work, play and enjoyable hobbies always revolve around physicality with men. He's a billionaire, of course he can snap his fingers and get some hottie to hold onto his arm. They are a cover he routinely leaves sitting alone at tables when his real life calls.
Oliver Lopez
>The Show of Violence >Dark Legend >Seduction of the Innocent Are these YA Vampire Romance novel titles?

Nothing he complains about is actually immoral in any way. It's pathetic that he thinks he has a point.

Justin Hall
>Who the fuck cares about these literal retards? Why do people give every "outraged" group the time of day, and act like their numbers are substantial at all?
mfw you've perfectly described Sup Forums's board culture. Right now, there's a heated discussion over whether giving away free Marvel comics is undermining civilization.
Robert Davis
>the obvious jokes about Joker being gay for Batman Okay, yeah. I can kind of see how that could could be seen as gay propaganda. >the "joint custody" joke You've got to be kidding me.
Hunter Stewart
Are gay characters in cartoons still a big deal in America?
I thought they legalised gay marriage over there.
Blake Parker
>I-it was never gay! >on Sup Forums >on Sup Forums
Haha, guess I'll go visit Sup Forums for their latest "Milo is a gud boy" thread. Cyas.
Leo Lewis
I remember when people flipped shit over the "gay agenda" in that Spongebob episode where they raised the clam.
Caleb Roberts
Jesus christ America I thought you'd gotten over this kind of shit
Nathaniel Baker
Yes, but those people don't live here. There are a few hundred too many "Gay/Beefcake" threads in the archive for Sup Forums to be joining in the outrage, methinks.
Brandon Bailey
These conservatives always find something to complain about.
They said Pokemon, Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh were created by Japan to make American kids into satanists when I was a kid, now they say the Lego Batman Movie promotes gayness. What will they whine about next?
Anthony White
That's stupid, those were created to turn American kids into infantile retards who'd wander into dark back alleys because their phone said there was a Snorlax in it.
Parker Hernandez
I really didn't see it that way. I think it's a bit of a stretch. Kids innocently think things like having 2 fathers is possible without the sexual implications.
Joshua Torres
Shouldn't conservative cucks love what japan did because the anime fascination is what lead to their ultimate god emperor being elected?
Nicholas Roberts
>they legalised gay marriage. Don't you worry user, Mike The electric Pence is working on that as we speak.
Kayden Morales
>Yu-Gi-Oh >summoning demons through rituals, stealing souls, sending people to hell I believe it
Kevin Evans
In a way, they were a little right. Nobody got turned into Satanists, but the numales who grew up with Harry Potter are cursed in that they never became adults, just older kids.
Jacob Hall
>Jesus christ America I thought you'd gotten over this kind of shit Americans were told they'd be socially ostracized, fired from work and even possibly sued/jailed if they showed any signs of objection to it. Not EXACTLY the same as "getting over it".
Bentley Green
>boo hoo I'm the victim here Maybe you should get over yourself
Jaxson Morris
He says unironically from his haunt on the cartoon and comic book board.
Dominic Hernandez
It's an American magazine pointing out that a Canadian guy warns against this movie- using an American site again as source. But this site is a faith site, so under strict faith people gayness surely is still a big thing, but not the majority.
Ayden Gonzalez
Did you see who we elected? All it took for us to vote a washed up reality tv host to our highest elected office was >Muh regressive left.
Grayson Scott
oh boo hoo the nazi's not allowed to hate people anymore
Chase Adams
Doesn't matter, deviant, you won.
Alexander Lewis
>And then they were Nazis
Perfect timing.
Cameron Wood
He says as Emperor Orange Face is about to shove this miniature dick in the world's butthole.
Conservative cucks are butthurt even when they are winning how do you even manage to do that?!
Aiden Flores
>Americans were told they'd be socially ostracized, fired from work and jailed. Wow, as a gay guy I can't even imagine how that would feel. Those poor homophobes ;_;
Camden Russell

Literally a thread on "How preposterous that this promotes gay culture"...
That within minutes floods with Muh Gay Rights anons.
Might as well move Batman threads to /lgbt/.
Nathan Adams
>homophobes being dumb as shit Surprise surprise.
Brayden Jackson
He's not a Nazi user, he's just well liked by them.
Angel Richardson
What did I say that made you imply that? I was just spectating when you said something incredibly idiotic.
Brandon Miller
No, because they think Jap shit is weird and make kids into rapists.
Overtly censoring things that go against common American ideals and familial traditions have always been a conservative thing, the difference is now liberals have basically sunk into that level in the 2010's the difference being instead of "muk kids" it's "muh equality".
The reason Sup Forums having more traction and Sup Forums being more conservative is this failed belief that since now extreme liberals basically want to take away our waifu's and dirty jokes that extreme conservatism will then fight to bring our rights of freedom of speech and artists rights to draw/write/make whatever they want. but that's not the case at all.
The sad truth is both sides are basically made up of "Freedom to do and say what you want unless it makes me uncomfortable" and considering the hedonistic nature this site attracts, neither side will ever truly represent what we all want and the only reason people believe hard right does in fact represent them is because artistic media has always been left leaning so their whining will be more apparent for majority of the site.
Isaiah Brown
Sup Forums is more gay than /lgbtq/
William Butler
Fuck off dude. The whole "villain and hero relationship" thing is nearly the entire basis for Venture bros but nobody calls that LGBT propaganda. It's just some clickbaiting cuckold hoping butthurt spergs like you will spread it around because it falls in line with your views
Evan Morgan
>We've circled back around to people complaining about Batman being gay again YES YES YES. BRING BACK THE CAMP
Jackson Cook
So dumb they control every House of government and the large majority of States >yfw the Supreme Court is 6-3 conservative in a few years "Y-yeah, so dumb!"

No one tell this joker about the comic book and Adam and Steve and their funtimes at Club Homo Erectus.
Colton Butler
I didn't say anything like that, this was my first post here Good job being an asshole to cover up being a retard, though.
Matthew James
There isn't really anywhere else to discuss animation online.

they actually call Dick Richard?
John Foster
They should be, user, they SHOULD be.
Easton Long
69 heh
Alexander Barnes
Have you not seen it?
Lincoln Martin
Is it alright if I Gay ship Batman and Bruce Wayne, now?
Kevin Smith
yes, in a land where freedom of speech and freedom of thought is a thing, that is actually bad. If they can ban hate, they can ban love; and when it becomes convenient, they will.
Mason Campbell
It's easy to do when you redraw your congressional districts so that your representative lives 90 miles away you from and plays to the stupid redneck crowd.
Parker Wilson
Jesus fuck are you guys trolling? You sound like Sup Forums threads ironically emulating the way numales type.
Zachary Jones
The big problem with that is that any drawing of Bruce Wayne and Batman kissing will be confusing with a Batman and Clack Kent without glasses kissing.
Brody Nguyen
THEY'RE! JUST! ROOMMATES!
Jace Russell
>MUH FREEZE PEACH
Jaxon Jones
no, not yet I don't like cartoons
Aiden Campbell
>A bloo bloo the libturds will ban love!
So how many days until the executive order banning gay marriage gets signed, sport?
Landon Myers

Jason King

That's a good joke, user.
Aaron Williams
Wasn't this basically anti-Jewish propaganda by a German when a lot of the industry had jews
Luis Stewart
>makes Wattpad account Time to make some internet dollars
Cooper Lewis
Well duh. Batman was gay pedophile propaganda from the start. It's story rich old guy picking up young athletic boys and sleeping with them in one bed
Grayson Jackson

Nicholas Roberts
No it fucking isn't Robin appealed to Get more kids to but the book it work extremely well
Jack Jones
Morrison stop samefagging. It's embarrassing.
Julian Young
>liberals overreact and demonize any conservative's actions and opinions what else is new?
Alexander Bailey
Listen, we can all agree that SJW are retarded. So why can't you admit this shit is also retarded?
Camden Myers
Not contrarian enough
Matthew Edwards
it's retarded just not as retarded as SJWs
Charles Morris
Holy shit, conservtards are just as deluded as fujoshit SJW landwhales.
Charles Ross
If someone made it past the "I like to fight around" trailer, they knew exactly how gay this movie was going to be.
Isaiah Foster
>Conservatives remain in denial about their huge victim complex >think entire world is out to get them, later wonder why they're stereotyped as paranoid
Brandon Richardson
The headline is "Lego Batman turning our children into gays".
I'd say it's equal in the retard scale.
Adam Anderson
not really SJWs are worse by far
Ryan Kelly
Conservative here. Our country's Secretary of the Department of Treasury is credited as Executive Producer on this movie, so it gets an A+ from me.
Owen Bailey
I'm so angry that the gays are forcing all of these positive gay role models like The Joker down my kid's throat
Jordan Gomez
>mneeeehhhh sjws are worse >no THEY'RE the nazis >we're still counterculture to the LAMESTREAM MEDIA you guys
