>>107355338It's complicated because one of the suits nohomo'd the original Shiro/Adam scene, then they rewrote Adam to be his platonic bestie at the Garrison, then decided he should die to show how dangerous the Galra invasion was. So you're right about. Although even then it's still stupid because the first six seasons already did that enough, and besides they should've picked someone who shows up enough for people to actually give a shit. Later on they were told it was OK to make Shiro and Adam gay after all so they re-edited the original dialogue back in because they thought having a good gay and a buried gay was better than no gays at all. Which would've been fine if they didn't go and overhype the buried gay or how prominent his relationship with Shiro was anyway, knowing the above was all they had.
They also buried another gay or two, and this particular one is 100% their fault and not the suits or anything.
