Rant about Ladybug's LGBTQ+ representation and couples in general.
Tbh I don't really like Marc that much. I see him (just my opinion) as the token gay character, considering his design and name. His only big appearance was his first appearance just to get shipped and instantly teleported to the background. We didn't know he existed, he and Nath didn't even know each other that much... idk. It's just... weird. Not only Marc but Marc...aniel as well.
Everything we knew about Nath was that he's a shy artist with an oh-so-cute crush on Marinette. Next big appearance and he's an asshole who adores Ladybug and then just... randomly gets a bf.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time they've done this. What I hate is that they kinda hyped up the LGBTQ+ representation just to... call them best friends (Jules and Rose) or slightly hint at them every ten episodes.
They did this with Mylè and Ivan too, but at least they get some individual screentime. Sometimes...
ML has a big problem managing couples. Once they're paired they're together forever.
Can we get an episode of Juleka with no Rose? Or Ivan with no Mylène? Even Nino with no Alya? I'd ask for Luka with no Marinette but that seems to be impossible.
Still, what pisses me off is that Marc isn't a good character. He could be a very very nice achillean representation, even gnc representation. But he's poorly managed. LGBTQ+ representation is not introducing an achillean character in one episode just to put him in the background and confirm through Twitter that he's in a relationship.
