A very small amount. And when it adds absolutely nothing to the storyline, yes it’s definitely just some woke junk thrown in.

I haven't seen it yet, but is it the same orphan who was gay in the first movie? If so, people really can't be pissed that they were "surprised" by him being gay in this one.

If you don't want to see gay people in movies, don't see sequels to movies with gay people in them. You're just looking to be pissed at something.

Was the character being gay a central part of his storyline, and was that storyline a central part of the movie?

Having gay people simply exist in a movie doesn't mean the movie is automatically woke, imo.

i hate this take because if they did have a reason his gayness added to the story you'd complain it had gay people at all. you just don't want to consume content with gay people. just admit that.

Let's say it's 4%. That's ~14 million in the US alone. By comparison, there are only 14 million Jews in the entire world.

There are 2 billion moslems and over a billion Africans, over a billion Indians and a over a billion Chinese. I'm guessing if movies were populated 25% by moslems, and all these other ethnicities in "proper" proportion, you would call that woke too.

Just say what you mean: since you're straight and white, that's what you want it to be, regardless of the numbers.
