e still played the character perfectly, even if you dislike the character, so thats kind of missing my point real hard.
In a heteronormative society, playing a straight guys is not a challenge and holds no problems mate. Simply because:
- Straight are not rejected by the hegemony
- There is no problem of representation with straight guys.
Once again, like always, you are missing the point which is the IMPORTANCE of the REPRESENTATION of minorities. Queers don't care that straight people can act like Queers, they want to be represented by OTHER QUEERS. Meaning be able to see that other Queers can succeed and therefore be accepted in society.
When you make a straight guy play a gay guy or a Cis play a non Binary person, you are literally STEALING that from them. Just like you would steal the representation of a black man if they were played by a white man.
Again,the word you search here is representation.
