CHOZEN IS THE NEW GAY SHOW FOR STRAIGHT PEOPLE

"That scene don't take place until the third episo of FX's new animated seri about "the first gay, whe, animated rapper, " but by then, 's already clear that Chozen has been chosen to wake people up to their own hypocrisy.

The re plot of Chozen is about an ex-n rapper (voiced by Saturday Night Live's Bobby Moynihan) tryg to reclaim the fame his nemis, Phantasm (Method Man), stole om character easily lends himself to predictable homophobic slurs and sight gags. It's impossible to overlook that Chozen's a bearish gay man wh a b of a kky edge (he gets nipple piercgs the first episo), a c sense of humor, and a taste for appropriate behavr--cludg hardre sex, hardre dgs, and lots and lots of alhol. He has no hibns (cludg fartg, a first for a gay character, we thk) and, que rehgly, feels no prsure to hi his sexualy and personaly.

A LEWD, C CARTOON POTS OUT HOW ELIST AND UNWELG THE GAY COMMUNY CAN BE

Read allChozen is an animated edy about s tle character, "Chozen, " a gay whe rapper h out of prison. There's nothg funny about this "Succsn" actor beg attacked by ottersOffEnglishChozen is the new gay show for straight people.

The great flaccid joke of televisn is that even shows about gay men feature more ts than dicks. The third episo kicks off wh Chozen attendg an LGBT stunt associatn meetg and gettg the wrong ia about the topic of the day: the media portrayal of gay men as shallow, oversexed viants.

Like a latter-day Tim Whatley, Chozen’s jt gay for the jok. And they aren’t even good premise is almost as nvoluted as s no-homo sexualy.
