But I will add that you’re getting downvoted because you appeared to be doing something worse.
A lot of bigots I knew say something hateful, and if they get away with it, they keep it going. If they get called out, they’ll pivot to say “oh, I didn’t mean it like that bro, I just don’t like sex scenes in stuff.”
I see this all the time in conservative media. They’ll obsess with some ancillary thing for plausible deniability, but the implication to anyone with half a brain is the simpler bigotry.
So that’s kinda what your original comment came off as, to me. It’s quite valid to argue “well, I don’t like gratuitous sex scenes in movies,” but it sounds like the way conservative influencers or an IRL jerks imply “I don’t like gays.”

My comments only say what my comments explicitly say. I even annotate sarcasm.
