Twitter gays triggered by It: Chapter Two

Spoilers ahead!

 

 

Were you also triggered by the opening scene?

[ZiggyZiggs 29,846]

I saw this on twitter and I’m so confused by the whole thing, it’s a horror movie? And people die in horror movies? Like..... luv wha-

Are the twitter gays also upset at AHS for killing like every gay on screen

I'd rather we stop using the word "triggered" to try to delegitimize the feelings of people we disagree with. That sort of BS belongs on 4chan, not on GGD. Truthfully, that's the only thing I got out of this sad thread.

Let's fight with a book from the 80s

Also it's influenced by a real murder of Charlie Howard in in 1984.

I think you need to see the movie to understand why the scene makes no sense. It would be like putting in a rape scene for you to never see anything more about the characters. It was just there with no meaning other than to show the brutality. Trust me, watch it and you will understand it was unnecessary.

What other word would you use?

It wakes up whenever something horrible happens. Those junkies beating up and almost killing Adrian woke It up... and then the rest of the movie unfolds.

People seem to forget this is a horror movie. It’s meant to horrify. Not everything has to have a larger meaning in the context of the story. The whole point of the scene was to be horrifying, and it worked. It’s a horror story.

It’s also a pivotal point of the story, since it’s the murder that marks It’s return and prompts Mike to call the others back.

Honestly, I don’t understand these people. Homophobic attacks still happen and portraying them in movies sheds light on this issue. Do they want filmmakers to sugarcoat everything? Do they want the gay life to be portrayed as happy, colorful and full of joy? Because that’s not the case for lots of gay people. And a horror movie will especially not sugarcoat something like this.

It does seem unnecessary, but it's a horror movie, and most horror movies nowadays are unnecessary so 

[geopang 4,831]

Is there anything gays aren’t triggered by?

[LibraOctober98 3,456]

I don't even think that happened in the original? I certainly don't remember it so... Yeah maybe a lil unnecessary

[LUO YI 6,089]

I totally get why they think like that, but it's not the case. 

[ChromeAngel 3,230]

People are pressed?

It’s like we’re a parody of ourselves. You can’t make this stuff up.

[Jose P 23,341]

You would think gay people would appreciate the fact that a book written in the 80s portrayed a homophobic attack as something horrifying and inhumane. But no, they had to turn it into something bad.

I just hate this modern attitude of trying to censor art. Films aren’t made to pander to your feelings. This sense of entitlement is so effing stupid. The scene never once supported this behavior, that it didn’t add to the whole story doesn’t make it something offensive or insensitive.
