LOL > it's not a question about whether he'll ever play a "queer role" again > it's more about the timing and selection of those roles from a career management / diversity of character roles perspective as a younger, red-hot 18y/o actor!
So, what you're saying is:It's a lot more complicated than that > cuz Hollywood show biz has ALWAYS involved an uneasy partnership between "Art vs Commerce" where the most talented actors, gay or straight, rarely get cast on pure merit alone! It's often more about bottom-line box-office audience "star appeal" and profitability > which actors will be able to "sell" movies and series to the global paying public!
Throughout long Hollywood history, closeted gay actors have played straight roles in many big-budget, beloved flicks, while big-name straight actors have played "gay" roles in order for ground-breaking LBGTQ movies like "Philadelphia" and "Brokeback Mountain" to obtain the necessary financing to get produced and distributed globally in the first place!
And these Hollywood production economic-related realities aren't going to be changing anytime soon when major investment dollars are required from studios which are in the bottom-line business of making movies and series which global audiences are willing to pay to watch!
Like you're giving what some might call "reasons" for why that is. (Others might call them "excuses.") But your long post isn't actually any more "complicated" then my short one. You're just using more words to describe the same situation that I am describing.
So I'm not super comfortable speculating on if Connor would or would not take another queer role. I want to hope he and his team would not avoid queer roles. I understand that the realities of the buisness, and homophobia in the buisness, makes it possible my hopes would be dashed. Anyway, we'll probably never know for sure, with the leak in the Thomas Dekker Situaiton being a one-time thing. But Hulking is a sweet nice guy type. He's a literal space prince that is such a perfect boyfriend that he and Wiccan were once nearly convinced that Wiccan used his magic to conjure Hulking into existance as the perfect boyfriend. That ... that honestly does some a little familliar to some kind of fantasy/sci-fi Heartstopper fan fic to me, except of course that the comic came out before Heartstopper.
He's gonna get even hotter.
It's completely valid to have these conversations, obviously Kit is a very attractive guy, but let's also remember that this is a forum where everyone takes the conversation in certain directions and it's good to talk about the various aspects of where Kit's career can go... not just the fact that he is cute.
We actually do agree! But what you classify as "excuses", I maintain quite accurately are actually longtime Hollywood box-office, bottom-line $$$ casting decisions required by nervous investors looking to make a profit, driven by certain global ticket/subscription buyers who sadly won't fork over their $$$ to watch super-talented characters in bigger budget flick starring roles!
Well said! Far too much has been said here regarding the entire subject of casting only gay actors in gay roles!
This isn't worthy of so much discussion, especially when educated, well-researched fact-based arguments are required!! B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!
