Members Antoyne Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Why does the character need to be toned down? Maybe because I'm a 24 year old gay black man living in Atlanta, I'm just not seeing the same thing as some of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrQuartermaine Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 I was thinking more along the lines of the character on GH:NS, Toussaint Dubois, played by Billy Dee Williams. Some characters are obnoxious, he's one of them, as is Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Naw. Let him keep showing his ass. I have to admit that I kind of enjoy watching the long, slow, Norma Desmond style trainwreck that he's turning into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Obnoxious? He was the opposite of obnoxious in his one episode appearance so far. He was cheery, happy and helpful. How does that equate to being obnoxious? Someone like Britt, Tracy or Todd as you mentioned is obnoxious. Felix was hardly spreading misery and being unpleasant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members baller Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 I MISSED YOU. And fully agree. Glad to see I'm not alone, as there seems to be a LOT of Ron-Kool-Aid being drunk these days. The whole thing has been horribly written from the start, and Felix is just the icing on the cake.

Members Khan Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Here's the deal: I, too, am an openly gay, Black man. No, I don't carry lipstick in my pocket, and I don't give insta-makeovers either. But that's because it isn't in my personality or nature to do so. I couldn't fault someone like Felix because it's in his nature anymore than he could fault me for it not being in mine. As R Sinclair said, there are levels and there are layers. I say, let the damn story play itself out. Who knows? Perhaps Felix has a partner who's the butchiest butch who ever butched, but who loves and adores Felix because he knows him beyond the makeup tips and queeny dialogue. Perhaps, through his eyes, we, too, will be allowed to see those different sides to his personality. However, if time proves the naysayers correct, and Felix is nothing more than a collection of the most negative assumptions about gay men in general and gay Black men in particular...well...we know what to do, don't we?

Members Khan Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Frankly, I'm more concerned that Ronnie C. had any character, let alone Felix, pull out a tube of lipstick as some sort of foreshadowing for . To me, that's just bad storytelling, with and without the added controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
