The FTA version is a lot toned down. No "i love you" or hugging.  The explicit version is only on meWatch as NC16. Anyway whats wrong with such protrayal? There was also an old show showing str8 people with AIDS

 

The issue is that every gay character on Channel 8 has AIDs.

 

Anyway its the law that only negative lgbt representation can be shown.

So also can't blame mediacorpse. Want to blame must blame IMDA.

 

But gays tend to get the worst portrayals compare to lesbians or trans

Mediacorp explains LGBTQ+ character portrayal in drama 'Silent Walls', says they didn't set out to perpetuate any stereotypes

Story by Lee Wei Lin  14h ago

Mediacorp has responded to allegations that its drama, "Silent Walls", encouraged a "harmful stereotype" with their depiction of two gay characters.

 

Mediacorp explains LGBTQ+ character portrayal in drama 'Silent Walls', says they didn't set out to perpetuate any stereotypes

 

"Silent Walls" was produced by Ochre Pictures, which was also behind local productions "Last Madame" and "Lion Mums".

What happened

Online LGBTQ+ publication Dear Straight People published an article on Apr. 3 calling out the portrayal of a gay couple in "Silent Walls".

The article said that the couple, Kai De (played by Alfred Sun) and Nigel (played by Adam Chen), had a "problematic" large age gap. Nigel is Kai De's dance instructor.

Dear Straight People opined that the pairing "reinforces the harmful stereotype that gay men are predators and groomers".

They added:

"Nigel has AIDs, which implies that he cheated on Kai De.

(...)

Not only does this problematic storyline strenghten (sic) the notion that gay men are all diseased and promiscuous, it also suggests that gay couples will always meet a tragic fate."

About the show

"Silent Walls" is described as a "dark mystery thriller surrounding a house across four eras of Singapore resulting in tragedy in each era".

Nigel and Kai De were not the only couple who met with a tragic fate.

Characters Liang Wenhui and Gu Zhenzhu, played by Ayden Sng and Tasha Low respectively, did not have a happy ending. Sng's character died after getting shot.

Mediacorp responds

In response, Mediacorp told Mothership in a statement that they "did not set out to depict the LGBTQ community in a negative light or perpetuate any stereotypes".

They added that they aimed to "depict the struggles some families may face and [sought] to encourage more understanding and acceptance" with the characters' storyline.

The spokesperson also added that there are two versions of "Silent Walls" — one being the PG version which was shown on television, and an NC16 version which is available on meWATCH.

The PG version "does not explicitly reveal the mutual relationship between the adult characters (Kai De and Nigel)", while the NC16 version delves more into their relationship with depictions of care, love and concern".

 

No grooming involved: Ochre Pictures

Ochre Pictures clarified that there was no grooming involved in the show, as both characters were "consenting adults". Nigel was 36 and Kai De was 24.

They added that there was no cheating involved as he was a "single adult male and was never married".

The rep continued:

 

"We cannot deny that these social issues (i.e. discrimination) existed in the 1980s, which is the very reason why our intent in this storyline was to show that a lack of empathy and understanding can have tragic consequences.

Our stories and characters are authentic to the times, and have validity. It is our hope that through this story, viewers would be encouraged to put aside individual biases."

This is not the first time that Singapore’s national broadcaster has come under fire for its problematic portrayals of the LGBT community.

 

In 2020, criticism was directed at “My Guardian Angels” (单翼天使) for its portrayal of a homosexual basketball coach played by Chase Tan, who is depicted as a gay paedophile with AIDs who sexually abuses numerous young boys. His character is eventually jailed with no redemption arc.

 

Following the uproar, Mediacorp issued a statement explaining that they had “no intention to disrespect or discriminate against any persons or community”.

 

However, it seems like Mediacorp has forgotten the past controversy, as evidenced by the fact that they have once again, portrayed the gay community in an unncessarily negative light.

 

WHY SINGAPORE NEEDS TO STOP PUSHING NEGATIVE LGBT STEREOTYPES ON TV

In Singapore, LGBT+ media representation is practically non-existent on mainstream media. The only time we see gay characters on TV is when they have AIDs.

 

Singapore TV dramas may be on the decline. But they are still popular with middle aged conservatives, many of whom are parents of LGBT+ children.

 

The elderly population typically already have distorted views about the gay community. By showcasing these outdated stereotypes on national TV, it only strengthens their antiquated convictions. This makes it even more difficult for parents to reconcile with their queer children.

 

If it’s too much to request for positive LGBT depictions in popular media, then I prefer no representation of LGBTQ+ in mainstream media.

 

 

What dearstraightpeople overlooked was that the stance by the broadcast media, rating and guidelines have not changed so far, even after 377A was abolished...

 

Probably, all the TV film makers are also in the "elderly" age range as their spectators...

Actually, the elderly population is probably already more open minded on homosexuality than the TV film makers...

Just wonder how many times a script is read before any film is made...

 

Strangely, the local newspapers are full of LGBT topics... it always looks like different sections pull at different ends of a rope...

This Sundays star awards seems to have lesser foreign artists coming to present the awards? So far only jam hsiao and sammi cheng who are the confirmed artists coming. Guess no budget?

Both of them should be perfoming in the show, and maybe at the same time present the awards?

Indeed surprisingly that local production would produce soft porn. This movie has so much sex but too bad as usual they are focusing on the woman part. Louis wu is hot during those sex scene.

How u all find this year star awards? I find that they should bring back those foreign presenters to present the awards.  Snippets of the nominees for all categories should also be shown instead of just presenters saying out their names.

Richie clinch the best actor awards. I think the acting is good but it make the entry level too low with such a big discount to new blood. It look like they trying to cover up last year fault for giving to overrated veterans. They should reflect on paying attention to mid-level artistes. If not, all will leave eventually and leave a gap. Even the host herself said, having 3 first-time nominees for such a big award is rare in the industry. Mediacorp still very anyhow, can't get things right 😣

So many black faces in the star awards. Matilda hardly smiled, as if unwilling to host. Joel choo black face during his dance, didnt even bother to lip sync. 

 

So badly underrun and end up talk rubbish, like asking sammi which best actor nominee she would want to work with. In the end, sammi also 答非所问. 

 

Best host award... fann came well prepared with  thank you speech and matilda says "fann's preparing  backstage ". How obvious you want to let us know results are well known befoehand?

This year Star Awards very weird.

Felt like I was watching a charity show.

 

Why make their artistes perform such weird performances.

They all look damn awkward performing their dance numbers

Especially the veterans, it's an insult forcing all these respected veterans to perform on stage like monkeys.

The rising stars even worse, all looked like they were being tortured.

Most were black face throughout the performance

 

Most weird is the rebecca and felicia portion.

Why they doing some weird sign language dance??

 

In the end because of all this weird performances, the winners of the Most Popular Rising Stars don't even get chance to give acceptance speech; makes it seem like their award is the most useless.

 

The timing was also off, until Lee Teng had to ask Sammi stupid questions just to pass time.

 

This year SA really damn cock compared to previous years.

They were betrayed. Zoe, Quan Yi Fong, and Chen Hanwei gave up their sit but Xiang Yun and Huang Biren decided to change their mind. Zoe Tay will be cleaning up the management after she completed her long-form drama. 🤔

Ritchie can win best actor maybe due to no chen hanwei? Anyway, hopefully ritchie after winning this year best actor, he would not become only a one-time best actor in history.
