    gonna open an AroAce theatre where I fast forward through all of the romantic subplots to get to the good stuff and instantly cancel (worse than death) anyone who complains

    Sorry for the inconvenience :ace-heart:

      That sounds like an actual good idea that would be great for aromantic/asexual people.

      I'm neither of those but I still get annoyed at :awooga: pandering in media sometimes and I can definitely see the appeal.

        Imagine trying to watch Mask of Zorro with all the sexiness cut out. Basically just a bunch of people shouting over explosions. No shirtless Anthony Hopkins whipping candles. No sweaty men pressed against each other's sword blades. Every single scene with Catherine Zeta Jones would have to include giant black censorship bars. What a waste.

          I can't speak for aromantic people or asexual people directly, but I do believe there is a difference between sexy scenes and sex scenes.

              Yeah, but an aromantic or asexual friendly presentation might recognize such a nuance.

      I'm aroace but I love (lol) MLM romance stories. Gay webcomics (heartstopper, always raining here, Peanut Soup, etc.) are my guilty pleasure. Granted, characters don't kiss much because it's usually written for teens.

      No straight shit, tho.

    Ok but imagine you had no idea there was a same sex kiss scene in this movie and it suddenly starts fast forwarding through it and you now have no context but you THINK you saw buzz lightyear have a little same sex smooch.

    “Attention Parents: The management of this theater discovered after booking “Lightyear” there is a same-sex kissing scene within the first 30 minutes of the Pixar movie.

    We’re rewinding that shit, we’re pausing, we’re cheering, clear your schedule.”

    An art installation and it's a theater or collection of movies but all of the heterosexual romance is cut out.

    Watch a Disney movie in all of fifteen minutes.

      Funny enough that's actually a plot point in the widely-lauded Italian film "Cinema Paradiso"

      The local priest owns the cinema and has all the displays of romance cut out of the films they show.

        spoiler

        Salvatore comes back to Rome, watches Alfredo's reel and discovers it comprises all the romantic scenes that the priest had ordered Alfredo to cut from the movies; Alfredo had spliced the sequences together to form a single unreduced film of aching desire and lustful frenzy

        :bonk:

      Yes, God is going to kill us all because the gays have sinned and tarnished humanity by touching their plump sexy lips together. Sad!

        i meant more in the sense that there are going to be pogroms soon, but that's a good point

    My dad used to do this when we watched Legend of Zorro during the scene where he cuts off the dress from Catherine Zeta-Jones. He eventually put a piece of tape on the VHS on that section so the tracking would go nuts and static

    Edit: mask of zorro

      I don't really remember that scene at all. Does her dress go from floor length to roughly a mini skirt? I don't even remember giving a damn.

    I thought they made buzz light-year kiss a dude or something, which would be hilarious, but no it's just some other characters
