[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 88397, member: 57984"] But his being out-and-out gay in nuDYNASTY may be why he was cast more stereotypic. I'm not saying nuSteven is a super-stereotype, and he certainly exists in nature, but he is indeed a little retro. Although he's likeable enough. Basically, yeah .... but... nuSteven is english?? Someone somewhere in some thread (I forget who and where) said they actually preferred Steven a little more stereotypic because they were tired of all the straight-i-fied gay male characters seen on TV in the present.... I mean, I guess I know what they're saying, but after decades of homo-invisibilty [B][I]except [/I][/B]when the gay character was limp-wristed (or something else equally pandering) or just shown as creepy and weird if not mentally ill in some other way, I haven't gotten tired yet of masculine gay male characters (although I see little of those modern shows, so I'm not as bombarded with it -- and I tend to resist overt sexual scenes, be they hetero or homo, almost as a rule). And while we need to remember, or be told, that most homosexual activity which goes on behind closed doors isn't occurring with recognizable stereotypes, the ones who tend to proclaim and 'come out' (even today), like nuSteven, do tend to align a bit much with that cliche. Although not everybody who comes out, of course. In other words, I'm not really sure what I think of nuSteven's gayosity casting. I'll wait, I guess.
