>>19911952The fact that they lost huge amounts of sales for that proves that it's an important topic anon. They wouldn't have lost as many sales by giving all their male characters a moustache for example. Because wearing or not facial hair as man isn't remotely as debated in the west as being gay. In bizarro world, people wouldn't give a fuck about all the characters taking it up the ass but they would boycott a movie when they feel that moustaches are forced on them. Idk if that's clear, i'd be glad to try to explain better if i failed to convey my point.
>>19911816Not that literally. Let me give you an example : in the Odyssey, which is obvious fiction, i'm pretty sure nobody expects the Greek to have fought Sirens and Witches and whatnot.
But as an example, the fact that Penelope :
1) had to look for excuses not to remarry for years instead of saying "fuck off i'm not remarrying", or even was expected not to remarry
2) all this while Odysseus fucked Circe and Calypso
Is something that allowed us to better understand Ancient Greek society and the way they envisioned relationships between the sexes, or the standing of women.
Tell me if i managed to make my point clear, i'll try again otherwise.
