Yeah, I really think more writers and artists should make more gay characters, but not just for clout or money, but because they want to support the community. And they should really do their best to write them well and not make it seem cringe.
MY OPINION ON GAY SHIPS: MOST OF THE TIME, I DON’T REALLY LIKE THEM. MOST COMPANIES SIMPLY WON’T TAKE THE RISK. SO MOST CHARACTERS ARE CANONICALLY STRAIGHT. SO PUTTING THEM IN GAY SHIPS FEELS WRONG TO ME.
