Oh, so all Asians are gay in this universe?

I mean, you're dumb enough to think that that same 3 second scene is somehow intended to represent an entire ethnic group, so anything is possible.
You're complaining about PC and SJW's but this kind of petty grasping to find something racist in an innocuous scene is exactly the kind of thing they do. -

Says the guy defending a scene cause it's gay asians.
When did you beceome a telepath? I'm defending the scene because people being crybabies over tiny moments in movies is a growing phenomenon that needs to end immediately.
Sorry you got butt hurt, sjw punk.
I'm the furthest thing from an SJW. I posted a thread on the Into Darkness board making fun of the feminist freakout over Carol Marus changing clothes (which is every bit as dumb as what you're doing here) just recently. I'm just anti BS outrage over pointless crap. Go back to your safe space (which apparently has no gay Asians since that's a trigger for you for whatever reason) since you apparently can't handle a sub five second shot of two men hugging in a fictional movie. -

Seems like the only one triggered here is you judging by your meltdown. But do go on crying behind your wall of pseudo hipster nonsense while trying to hide your true agenda since apparently you're embarrassed by your own beliefs.

they are dumb enough to support a movie over a 3 second scene that has no relevance whatsoever to the plot? Wow, how childish.
The thing is, I DON'T think they were dumb enough to support this movie after the creative team threw a pointless 3 second "gay couple" scene in the movie to pander to them.
Most of the "LGBT community" who previously showed zero interest in Star Trek and were heaping praise on the "progress" of the franchise with the "gay Sulu" announcement were NOWHERE to be seen on this board the week that the film was ACTUALLY released in theaters.
A throwaway scene of two asian guys hugging wasn't enough to get them to financially support a sci-fi film that had nothing to do with gay couples, and I'd bet most of the "LGBT community" (who were screaming "bigot!" at anyone who objected to the lazy writing & Sulu's character assassination a week earlier) didn't even bother to buy a ticket to see the film in theaters. Furthermore, many people who ARE active in the "LGBT community", like Takei himself, were smart enough to put aside their need for a "gay character" and look the decision objectively to see that it was poorly shoehorned into the movie and a bottom of the barrel move because Simon Pegg simply didn't want to make the effort to create and flesh out his own three dimensional gay character.
Instead, they managed to alienate tons of loyal Star Trek fans who WERE interested in seeing this movie before, but had reached the end of their rope with "white British Khan" in the last movie and gave up on the franchise once "gay Sulu" was announced.
Bottom line, the "let's make a straight character suddenly gay so we can get a pat on the back for it" decision ended up hurting this movie a lot more than helping it.
