It must suck to be a gay character created purely to make a long-time fan favorite positive explicitly gay representation and your whole personality is go out on explicitly romantic dates, stand in the background with explicitly progressive hair, look mildly concerned, and have plateaud character development
this with Spock in Strange New Worlds because half the fandom got so angry he wasn't immediately moshing face with a man he's met like 3 times and doesn't fully know or work with yet so they refer to him as "straight Spock" letting their biphobia show because they couldn't tolerate to see him with a woman (even though he had multiple romantic interactions with women in TOS) and now its getting cancelled lmao so we won't actually get anything Spirk because purists couldn't stomach his "woman dating ""phase"" when we were more likely to get an actual kiss in this series or something MORE bc SNW is way more progressive ššš
