4 min
Tim breaks down the plot of Disney's flop 'Strange World,' mocks the outrage over its minor gay character, and complains that new Disney character designs are just ugly regardless of race.
- Tim questions how gay the plot of Strange World actually gets, noting the inclusion feels minimal and questioning why it even matters.
- The gay character aspect doesn't center the plot, but Tim acknowledges some people don't want their kids seeing gay characters in anything.
- Tim distinguishes between one background gay character and what he'd consider actually over-the-line representation in animated films.
- Disney and Pixar movies have included coded gay characters for years, Tim notes, listing previous examples.
- Tim jokes that Kanye should voice a character in the next animated film to sneak himself back into that world.
- Shifting focus: Tim argues the real problem isn't representation but that all new Disney animated characters are just ugly, regardless of race.
- Tim would object to his kids watching new Disney movies because everyone in them is ugly, not because of the content.
