6. As a cis White male, this might sound weird

But it's the same issue I have with certain Black characters - "the magical Black/gay person" who has otherwise unattainable worldly wisdom, and they have nothing better to do than help out us dumb white people as if we're the biggest priority in their lives.

I just want one movie where the gay character is a real asshole and wrong about everything to shake things up. I think if done right, it would be a fun satirical commentary on dominant movie tropes.
