I totally understand that you’re uncomfortable with these aspects of the serie and it’s a very good reason to avoid it, if you want to.
But it’s also the first show i acually really ENJOYED watching for a long time and it’s very tiring to see people looking down on it simply because of one member (you’re right, she’s producer and writer, but she’s not the only one either). It’s otherwise really good, and kind of accurate, concerning the subjects they reach. And i’m actually glad to see sceneries from all around the world, it’s beautiful, and so far it’s the only serie i’ve seen with so much diversity and i appreciate it, especially since part of my family is indian. I’m disappointed that people are not actually encouraging it, even with these problematic aspects (i mean EVERY tv show is problematic when you really look into it).
Concerning the supposedly homophobic stuff, i’ve seen the post, and no sources, so i have no idea if it’s accurate. But in the serie, it’s not stated that the character mentioned in this post is 100% lesbian. In the scene mentionned, she’s having sex with her girlfriend while simultaneously connecting with her ohers male-self. She can break the link anytime she wants, but she’s enjoying herself and appreciates the experience. So she either stays a lesbian who had an kind-of-“heterosexual” experience, or she just changed her sexual orientation, because that’s what people do sometimes.
