When will yaoi and yuri obsessed weirdos accept that not every person wants every single character to be gay or lesbian?
Honestly these are some of the weirdest people. All that seems to run through their minds is
"gay sex hahah every character should be gay" and it is honestly insufferable.
Then if you disagree they immediately hit you with
"You're homophobic"
"We need representation"
"Their sexuality isn't confirmed"
These people don't NEED representation. They WANT representation.
There are already so many movies and shows centered around
LGBTQ characters that have been hugely successful, with actors from those projects even receiving major awards.
And the whole “their sexuality isn’t confirmed” argument may be technically true. But let’s use some context clues. If a character is dating or married to the opposite gender, has shown attraction to the opposite gender, and has never shown romantic interest in the same gender, what exactly are we supposed to assume?
And this goes both ways. If a character is never confirmed to be straight, that does not automatically mean they are secretly gay or lesbian either.
And apparently a woman being independent, strong, and capable of standing on her own means she must be a lesbian, while a man being soft, emotional, or empathetic means he must be gay. Since when are personality traits sexualities?
Not every friendship is romantic. Not every character needs to be gay or lesbian. Sometimes characters are just friends, sometimes they are straight, and sometimes their sexuality is genuinely unknown.
Liking LGBTQ representation is completely fine, but acting like every character needs to be gay or lesbian is where it becomes insufferable.
