But they made a somewhat big deal about having a Gay Ellen DeGeneres, in finding Dory but didn't specifically push that the character was gonna show gay representation.

But man they really pushed the narrative that they would have an openly gay character in the live action Beauty & the Best movie which ended up being a 15 seconds site gag about cross dressing and dancing... so that was dumb.

Then they bragged about having gay representation in an Avengers movie which ended up being an unnamed character saying he dated a guy once in a blink and you miss it sad scene at the top of the movie... and Marvel is Disney.

Then I remember them bragging about gay representation in Onward but I actually don't remember there being any like at all. Seriously, they talked about how they would include representing everyone and then the movie was a mess of just fairytale knockoff representation everywhere and I can point out practically no specifics.

Let's see then they made a bunch of live action stuff that actually had real gay representation but eternals sucked and cruella it's definitely just a side character but hey whatever.

Then they bragged about light-year I think which I didn't watch so who knows how good that was.

And that brings us to "the first openly gay character" which was the only advertising point for this movie I saw after a fantastic trailer giving such a great 1930s vibe and nothing else.

So yeah I guess that's practically none of you consider how pathetic the early attempts were nothing.

And if you ignore a bunch of the other movies, too.
