, I resent the implication that it makes me homophobic to not care about the finer points of gay bromance

I don't think that's the implication though, I think this is just contrived controversy to create buzz for the movie. If I made a movie and it didn't do well, and I said it failed because moviegoers are a bunch of limp wristed pillow biters, you wouldn't care.

But look at all these people who never heard of this movie before, like myself, and now there's some controversy, so people might just check it out to see what the deal is, or even to hate it.

Thought some more on what you said Muskrat, I'm pretty sure you are right.

The audience for hetero Rom-Coms is women and the boyfriends they drag. They know neither of these groups is the target audience of 'Bro's', gay men are. They clearly had a target number of gay men they did not hit, and by making accusations of homophobia, gay men will flock to the movie to defend and support it from this 'vicious homophobic attack'.

Its sleezy marketing perpetuating this wedge between identity groups, and I shouldn't enable these fucks by helping them do it

Yeah, you may be right, I'm sure they welcome the controversy after that bad of an opening weekend
