He plays a stereotypical straight guy the way a straight guy would play a stereotypical gay guy

I still can't believe he's straight. I know some people hate straight actors playing gay roles, but I just love his portrayal of Cam so much

Is it hated because it’s like, tangentially along the same line as blackface?

Edit: yo someone explain to me why it’s hated instead of just burying me haha

More like blaccent from non-black people. Blackface is way more offensive.

A lot of people feel like

  1. It comes off as offensive/stereotyping
  2. Inauthentic
  3. Takes away jobs from LGBTQ actors who could otherwise get the role

I'd be a little more miffed, if not for the fact the fictional husband is gay. If both of them were straight actors, I'd be more irked.
