They want to look like they're against bigotry, but don't actually wanna be....

Shit just watch SML, it gets censored by Youtube all the time for incredibly minor shit (Like a parody of Momo, or showing blood), but the blatant transphobia and racism? Perfectly fine... I mean it's comedy and nothing's meant by it (Unlike the Starfield video)

God, now I'm remembering all the people who used Kung Jin as a Fatality Dummy in MKX, which became a trend when the writer revealed Kung Jin was gay.. (The game said he had a "forbidden romance", but he's a monk, so that could have easily been a woman since monk's are celibate, which is why a writer had to clarify)

What really sucks is all the "fans" whining that this was shoving Kung Jin's sexuality in the face of the fans....

This is the same game where Shinnok, the MK Devil, is threatening to end all existence, and right when his right hand man Quan Chi is in custody so that he can potentially bring the cast of the previous game back to life... but wait, can't talk about that now, because Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade have to bring the whole game to a halt to scream at each other about their failed marriage....

But it's KUNG JIN's sexuality that fucks up the game right? Strangely it's never the straight people bringing the show to a halt to talk about how "Penis will touch vagina in a big and exciting way" who get accused of "Shoving their sexuality in people's faces", even though that shit happens all the time.

Look Hollywood, your action movies don't need a forced romance, especially if it's a woman who will be competent in the first fucking scene and be a dumbass every other scene.

Not really a problem MK has (Female Representation is in a pretty good place), but a beef I had in general.
