On the other hand, critics argue that such scenes can be gratuitous, exploitative, or even perpetuate negative stereotypes about the LGBTQ+ community. For instance, the movie "Cruising" (1980) features a graphic and disturbing rape scene involving two men. While the film's intention was to depict the harsh realities of life in the 1970s gay scene, some argue that the scene has not aged well and can be seen as voyeuristic.
