>>109292675>do you think it would be a fair assumption that the person saying it had issues with gay people?No, because forcing gays into the media is also coupled with shitty clickbait and pandering by the studios who are often overblowing their wokeness for brownie points even though it's often done in the most inoffensive and least groundbreaking way. That's why, "I'm sick of gay pushing in the media" is a completely different sentence from "I'm sick of gays".
Nobody is complaining about gay characters in Steven Universe, Clarence, Gumball, She-Ra, whatever. We're complaining when a hetero character is randomly shown to have a gay crush. Or when Simpsons showrunners are forced to push "Lisa might be pansexual!" in interviews because it'll get clicks. Or when a story about a teen boy growing up in a world where he has to save the princess becomes a story about the princess and her gay vampire lover.
I don't know about you, but it's getting really fucking annoying when you hear, "There's going to be a Daria reboot WITH A TWIST!" and you know the twist is she's gay because of course she must be. She wears boots and isn't that feminine, that means she MUST love pussy. As if it's progressive to ignore a character's previously established sexuality when that shit wouldn't fly if it was going from gay to straight.
