They're just throwing tokens to anyone that they decide who becomes homo/les/bi/trans/pan/etc, its worse when it involves characters who has little to no importance (supporting characters, background characters, and one time/shot characters).
>Representation is when it works and adds something to the story. From the positive aspects to the problems the characters face.>Tokenism is when it's just added for the sake of that a character is gay/bi/trans/etc. It has no relevance purpose other than to gain ratings and be praised for """diversity""" and """character""".Normally whenever I see homo/les/bi/etc moments, scenes, or relationships in Tv shows and series, it doesn't bother me at the same level. The show the problems and negativities that the characters face for having different sexual orientations, while at the same time doesn't over exaggerate the flamboyance (somewhat) of the characters and present them as everyday people.
TLoK, Clarance, Gumball, Storks, TLH, and even SU (to an extent) are just the right examples that falls under the red flag of tokenism just to recieve attention to the LGBT culture, LGBT supporters, critics, bloggers, and social media sites (Tumblr and Twitter especially). Hell, I might as well say that children entertainment is a victim to tokenism.
