People were promised LGBT representation. Years later and a cheap hetero romance plot later, they haven’t received it. Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel people are justified in their anger over the lack of said promised representation. Especially since we previously received Ar/kos and heavily hinted Re/nora.
I feel I should also state that Miles ability to write a romance should hold no bearing on his ability to write LGBT characters. The 2 aren’t mutually exclusive.
Thank you so much, these are excellent observations.
I want to add 242 LGBT characters were killed on screen between 2015 and 2016 alone. If there’s a reason we want representation is because we kept getting killed in fiction for shit reasons while cishets get a variety of happy endings and three-dimensional characters.
It’s fucking tiring to hear about people like me still getting killed in real life and then seeing the same damn thing on TV.
Let’s stop pretending this is about a ship when it was never about a ship.
