i’m not necessarily unsympathetic to every instance of “this LGBTQ character feels forced” but please consider the possibility that if you keep feeling that way almost anytime a show/game/movie introduces a non-cishet character this may be the product of your unconscious biases
i also sincerely hope people are joking whenever i see posts like “i wish [media franchise] would focus on addressing [issue] instead of spending time writing gay characters” because i assure you the writing and the issue are almost never handled by the same people
with all that being said: pink capitalism is a thing and you should absolutely call out megacorps tossing cheap representation your way in an attempt to distract you from the horrible shit they get up to. looking at Blizzard here
