Some creators use the excuse of & #39;there& #39;s no homophobia in this world& #39; when asked about lgbt+ but with very few of them is believable. Why? Because they say & #39;oh, it& #39;s normal in our world& #39;, even when all you see is straight people. Mains? Straight, ofc. Bg characters? Also straight
You don& #39;t actually SEE it being "normal", when you don& #39;t even see background couples holding hands, and all the mains are heteronormative, I mean, assume everyone is straight. Very unrealistic if you say in your world homophobia doesn& #39;t exist!
What I love about She-ra is that it does an AMAZING job at this, because it& #39;s actually BELIEVABLE, you see gay couples everywhere in the background! Even the mains, it& #39;s hard to see any of them as straight! There& #39;s no heteronormativity!
So many shows/writers use the "homophobia doesn& #39;t exist" as an excuse so they don& #39;t have to deal with gays or the weight of coming out. (See; jk Rowling, vld) it& #39;s lazy, and they don& #39;t do it because they care, they just want people talking about them doing less than the minimum
