Because really, it doesn't matter to anyone who isn't going to potentially have some kind of romantic or sexual relationship with you, right? So why do we insist on picking a label so much when for the vast majority of us it is not and will never be relevant?

    I get why people are complaining about him saying when queerness “isn’t shoved in your face” since that’s the same thing that so many homophobic people say when they want to see less queer media. However, I think the point he was trying to make is more of “I didn’t want to make a show where there was the very awkward, unnatural ‘im gay and this is why it’s weird and different’ talk - i wanted to make a queer show where representation isn’t questioned for a single minute, it’s just normal.” Like he’s said that he wants queerness to be normalised SO many times

      Exactly. This is the kind of stuff that makes it seem normal. I love queer shows about coming out and stuff, focused directly on the queerness, it's cool, but you'll never get anyone who isn't gay or an ally watching that. With our flag means death it's casually queer, when Mary asks "who's her name?" to Stede and he answers "Ed, his name is Ed." and she doesn't bat an eye that he said "his". When Jim's auntie calls them by a different name and Jim says that they go by Jim now she doesn't mind and just calls them Jim. That's the stuff.

    Taika's allyship makes me very happy. The effort he makes now is much more important than things he said in the past. There are people out there who seem like perfect allies but have never done a good thing for the queers in their lives... Taika is human, capable of change and mistakes, and actively making the industry better and more inclusive for LGBTQ+ people, and inspiring pride and even kick-starting realisation for queer people through his work. He has changed my life for the better.

    A fair few comments on here about whether he has the right to speak for queer people… so… throwing my two cents in. I don’t believe based on various comments he’s made that he identifies as straight, regardless of who he is or has been with. I myself am bisexual but have been in a het relationship for a long time. I do get a bit annoyed personally by LGBT people who question my opinions because I haven’t divulged my full relationship history and they’ve therefore assumed by sexuality based on my partner. Let’s not gatekeep queerness firstly, and secondly can we agree that anyone who is supporting LGBT representation despite the dark turn our world seems to be taking is doing good? 🖤🏳️‍🌈

    As a queer histortian, what makes our flag means death so great is that not only are the characters not making a big deal of being gay, but that's how life actually was on pirate ships! The term "mates" or "mateys" comes from same sex couples on these ships! The only major inaccuracy in this regard is that those on the mainland would be very homophobic, but we see that they are still less accepting than the pirates and other sea-faring individuals. I love the show so much.

My eldest is trans, and my kids' friends basically just said "ok, cool. What's her name then?"

    I’m glad he made Our Flags Means Death cause these other things he’s talking about, especially Love and Thunder, is just rubbish. Our Flags is great and expresses the heart of his normalization narrative. But love and thunder is the polar opposite; it suppresses queerness, offers it up in crumbs and meaningless bits, mostly palatable to those who wish to overlook queerness and not fully engage with it. A cheap, overdone trick. And if love and thunder were his only foray into queerness I would have called him an impish braggart, but thank goodness Our Flags means death exists.

      Omg yes! I could not agree more. Disney and Marvel selling Love and Thunder as ”really gay” was so shitty of them. Like we know Valkyrie is queer but there was nothing queer about the movie. Absolutely nothing. Instead we get a straight romance once again. Like Valkyrie’s sexuality wasn’t actually present in any way, It’s not surprising knowing Disney tho. They don’t actually care about representation, just checking off boxes. They still care way too much about their conservative viewers, producers and countries they sell their movies to

      Love and thunder is a blockbuster made for masses. It costs a lot of money so it has to earn a lot too. Producers dont want to risk their conservative audiences refusing to pay to see their product and thus dont give directors as much creative freedom as with projects like Our Flag Means Death.
      I think of it was up to Taika the representation in Love and Thunder would have been a bigger part of the movie. But sadly mainstream media is not at this point yet. Thats also kinda what Taika was saying here, that he hopes in the future he and others will be able to write various love stories casually and people will just accept it no matter the gender of the characters. Mentioning same-sex relationship in a movie is not as good of representation as showing it ofc but its still does some good for normalizing them. And doing this step will make the next one easier.
      Please dont just automatically blame creators, there are often more things going on in the background and a lot of limits they have to deal with because of e.g. people paying for the movie having certain rules about what they can show, especially in mainstream media.

      To be fair tho, I agree with this comment. Its so sucky of disney to act like they are doing so much and to want praise for the smallest things. (Still glad we at least have got these small moments tho since its better than nothing).
      But I just feel bad when creators are blamed for that even tho they often want to do more but arent allowed to.
      We have e.g. instances like the owl house and steven universe - they got the representation but the showrunners had to fight hard to get it and also had their shows shortened bc of it. And they were not as big of a scale as blockbusters played in cinemas so there was still more flexibility than with mcu movies.

      i think he's trying to communicate that, in order for equality to happen, we have to be as unfazed by a queer couple on screen as a straight couple. which in my opinion is totally a great way for queer culture to integrate into main stream culture, because if we are constantly held apart or labeled as 'the other' by everyone, there will always be a divide, and Waititi seems to be closing that gap in the way he isn't making a huge deal out of gay characters.
