First and foremost, Whatever side you land on Is your business. I peruse social media just like many of you. I see topics are covered by many different folk. Many of them do it in moderation and then there's just some die hard zealots. What strikes me as odd Is that people care so much about -blam!- orientation. I understand that diving into a character provides more depth for said character but it doesn't ever do anything for the overall story. I believe if an element of a story is super important, one could isolate it and show foreshadowing and other elements that will guide the story along. What I observe over time is that when people talk about the -blam!- of a character, it kind of just dies where it started. The only way it continues in conversation is when other people come in and argue about it or "this was retconned" or they come up with some other theory to string the conversation along and extend it. I believe diving in to these specific sections of a story is a waste of time. Idling minds wander and if you're that bored of the story then I don't know what to tell you. I know that it's such a niche portion of the story, I understand that representation is important to the writers and I respect that. I just feel like people oversell these details and and really oversell how important these elements are. X person is in love with Y person! Yeah? How does this affect their TTK? Oh my God did you see this person married this other person a 1000 years ago? Yeah? What's this got to do with the oncoming threat of our world being destroyed? I find it to be like how people oversell their position with pineapple on pizza. People need to tell you how great it is and when you go and look at it, it's not as great as they make it out to be. I don't care whom badoinks anyone in bed or who doesn't love or has affection for someone else, that's all well and good up to a very short point. All of that doesn't actually matter. What matters is what someone does for the story. Just something to think about when you see this sort of thing.
