really fascinating just the amount of media that said "heres a gay/trans character, please laugh" and then fans said "wow, a gay/trans character, just like me! thats so cool!" and the writers of that media are so shocked that their characters would have that interpretation. like no youre not supposed to think its GOOD that this character clearly has traits we pulled from contemporary gay culture, youre supposed to want to point and laugh!! how did this happen!!!
