Is this the ‘couple’ they de-gayed somewhat because of negative test screenings?

[queenursula]

IIRC it's less de-gaying them and just removing [Spoiler (click to open)]the bit about the dick pics being the macguffin.

[mehtastic]

Which thank goddess. That was a terrible idea.

Oh, 'probably.' Whatevahs to this queerbaiting nonsense.

That being said, as I understand from an account of the film, that the film does portray Renee Montoya as being gay, outright. As like having an actual girlfriend, who is acknowledged as such, and everything. So no queerbaiting there. So at least there's that.

[sandstorm]

Why is no one talking about this instead?

[mehtastic]

Because it doesn't involve white dudes?

[spellmanian]

Well, thank God. Renee has been done so dirty so many times.

Honestly just say they’re straight. Please. Enough with this have it both ways nonsense. IMAGINE HOW TIRED WE ARE.

So..... they’re queer-coded villains? In 2020? Very cool, very powerful.
