‘Oh, but I don’t have a problem with gay people, I just think this character being gay really ruined the story and pushed an agenda...’ Sure you don’t pal, sure you don’t...

  • Again, that's not at all what he said. Take the time to read it again, and maybe all the "common sense" you talked about should kick in.

  • ‘Forced’ diversity isn’t a problem at all. If people don’t like these ‘diverse’ characters or how they are written/used, just boycott those movies/comics/franchises and move on to others. The people who it doesn’t bother at all will hang around still, it’s really not an issue. I don’t see Ana being gay used in the way it was any worse than just a ‘regular’ character being written poorly.

  • But it doesn’t actually matter.

  • And you're right. I just -blam!-ing hate ignorance. But anyway, have a nice day good sir.

  • To be completely fair, I’ve seen LGBT people get upset about a character being gay with it having no bearing on anything. Especially when it’s stuff like “Lando is pansexual” with that having no evidence in or bearing to the story. I haven’t read the comic and don’t really care. But I think there is something to be said about forced diversity and tokenism. I think we can all agree that well written and well rounded characters are better and desirable. Regardless of whether those characters are gay, purple, or a gnat. And simply being a thing is not the same thing.
