LGBT propaganda... Funny how people who have been gobbling up propaganda about something, always think "the other side" is the one producing the actual propaganda

And yes, i see the irony of this statement

But some dudes kissing in a movie is not propaganda

Isn’t whether or not something is propaganda determined by the intent of those producing or distributing it?

If the intent of someone including two men kissing in a movie is to promote approval of homosexual relationships, OR is to promote the idea that men kissing doesn’t imply homosexuality, then that’s propoganda, but if the intent is just “the movie sells better if there’s a scene pandering to yaoi fangirls”, or “the screenwriter found something that happened with two guys they know to be compelling”, then it isn’t propaganda,

right?

    You're probably right, but my main point was that it's funny that people who have been spoon fed propaganda about something always think the opposite of what they now believe is the actual propaganda

    Honestly, pretty impressive by the russian government how they are able to do that

    Then again, in many cultures (even in more tolerant ones like here in the netherlands) there's always somewhere a latent hatred and/or disgust towards LGBT. So maybe it's nit that hard to bring that back to the surface after all

    Would you believe that in some countries it never happens at all! Overrepresentation compared to what?

    So you believe in quotas in "mass media", so that homosexuals aren't over-represented?

    Or you just think it's a conspiracy to turn everyone gay?

    Trying to control the free market of ideas seems a bit oppressive.
