>>714135390 (OP)>what makes a gay character "forced"?Promotion of homosexuality in entertainment is always forced because entertainment isn't supposed to be propaganda, in theory. In practice, that's a wholly different story because entertainment has been propaganda since hollywood was created. Even the nazis remarked on the unbelievable value of film as propaganda.
I know you're gonna say that it's representation but representation without consent of the audience is just propaganda, very subversive propaganda.
If you think fucking children is pedophilia because children cannot consent, then shoving alternative sexualities into the minds of children/young adults is also highly problematic because they cannot consent to having their minds altered via edutainment. It's no different than having children watch tv shows indoctrinating them with racial hatred of foreigners, it's still indoctrination even if you're doing it for allegedly "good" reasons.
Gay characters are also forced because they're by definition puppets for your own interests and ideology, because gay pixels don't exist by themselves. If you mention that heterosexual characters are also propaganda, i'm going to have to ask you why you wouldn't want to enforce family creation narratives, because while homosexual characters promote sodomy or whatever lesbians do, heterosexual characters promote normal sexual dynamics between men and women which lead to creation of families down the line, provided they're not maimed characters with feminist/emasculated tints.
