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
