So.. the creator said she was gay but there's really no evidence one way or another in the medium itself?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this.

[(Anonymous)]

More precisely, an interviewer asked Paul Feig if Holtzmann was gay because the interviewer read her as totally gay, and Feig said Sony wouldn't let him answer that question. :-/

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting. Thanks for the context. Not sure whether to interpret that as frustrating or not - nothing more annoying than playing it safe around potential gay characters but I can respect not wanting to make canon statements about characters' sexuality for the sake of letting fans interpret it how they like.

Sony apparently also shushed the *actress*, who is gay, from talking about it. So me, i'm pissed rather than frustrated, because it's not coming across as 'let fans have their own ideas, we don't want to bias things', it's coming across as 'don't talk about this character's sexuality because she's basically gay/bi but we can't admit it publicly.'

[(Anonymous)]

Oh wow. As a lesbian myself, that seriously pisses me off, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Me too.

I can't believe that movie studios still take this approach, if only to dodge the issue so that the movie won't be banned in certain territories or lose sales because of homophobia. :( It sucks.

[(Anonymous)]

weird. I had heard that Feig said that she was totally gay, but Sony didn't let him put that on the movie.

Now I wonder if that was just someone trying to make their personal headcanon "more valid" over those who read Holtzmann as bisexual, rather than as a lesbian...

[(Anonymous)]

Why in the world wouldn't they let him answer it? I don't understand that at all. In this day and age it doesn't affect the movie's intake to have gay characters outside of an "issue movie" (which are generally boring anyway).

[lentils]

I mean, everybody's already given good explanations, but there are DEFINITELY ways to tell in the movie. I know it'll go right over the heads of people who aren't used to looking for it, but goddamn she is sending up signal fires left and right.
