[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 88410, member: 57984"] But he [I][B]is [/B][/I]a stock gay guy. I thought that's what you meant by "I think from what we have seen of nuSteven he is very much a representation of what a lot gay men his age are." Or are the quips the only thing 'stock' about nuSteven? Frankly, and maybe this is because I'm older (I tend to forget I'm not still 24, which is kinda funny) but I'm quite happy to have TV shows continue to veer away from the stereotype. OldSteven veered away from it too, to some degree, so I guess I find it slightly disconcerting that nuDYNASTY re-embraced the cliche now that Steven's no longer conflicted (not that nuSteven is [B][I]all that [/I][/B]stereotypic -- he's not mincing down the foyer steps in a pink skirt). And perhaps that's why both new shows didn't stand a chance. NuDALLAS tried being too pretty and nuDYNASTY doesn't. But that's a problem: now that Steven is just gay without any denial, he's slipped back into being slightly queenish. It's seems a bit retro. And are we taking about nuSteven? Or NunuSteven? Because I forget about Stevenbot. [/QUOTE]
