Unironically though. Apparently it's not a real movie unless there is a romantic subplot somewhere shoved into it.

Look I'm fine with people being straight and all, I just don't want them shoving it in my face

I heard a guy say "shoving it down my throat" while talking about queer representation in movies and TV this week. I've heard several people phrase it exactly like that and I always have the urge to respond with "Sounds pretty gay."

So sick of the blatant pandering

Diamanda Hagan: "'Oh, we interacted twice, so now we're together in act three.' Straight people!"

I think they should remake I am number 4 but make the character gay. I honestly thought that's where it was going when he was at the fair and saw the nerdy boy and the popular girl and had a choice to make.

This was even in the latest Liam Neeson vehicle. They just haaad to work in that he had a wife, like his character couldn't stand on its own

And shoehorned-in straight romance to boot, bonus points for random sex scene.
