About the amount of gay people in the population I suggest not to trust a lot the numbers of those studies, some of them say that only a 2.5% of the population is gay, but other says that on certain western societies where is not tabu and people is not asshamed the number of gay + bisex grow to 10% - 15%, is hard to know the real number, the thing is we all know gay people in our everyday life, there is a ton of them is not like they're a rare thing at all, yet on videogames and films they are still rare.
And those heterosexual have gay familiars and gay friends in their lives, and a 5% (or maybe more) is gay, wich is actually a huge amount of people, so what is bad about having a similar amount of gay presence in mainstram cinema? Is not like they have to fullfil a minimun number but there is nothing wrong if they want to make their films more inclusive. |
I was talking about pure profits here in Star Wars case. Any form of Entertainment can simplified like this:
Entertainment is a choice
Choice ---relates--> identification
Identification ---relates---> Self
Self ---relates---> -/+ 95% Heterosexual fantasies
Thus the higher the heterosexual identification with any character or world ---> The more money
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
