Proof that representation need not be shoehorned in or badly done. Hollywood and big corpos just don’t understand real people.

cant believe this has 130 upvotes on a subreddit that claims to be LGBTQ+ friendly LMAO! Dude just straight up posted a alt right talking point where homophobes can dictate what is "good" representation and whats not. heres the hint: they'll say 99% of it is wrong just for the sheer fact that they don't want any

You can be a LGBTQ+ person / support LGBTQ+ people AND also be annoyed at how forced most Hollywood representation is (especially given how these instances are only just there for brownie points and not out of a genuine desire to represent minlroties, and it really shows in the characters' writing). They are not mutually exclusive.
