This comment genuinely made me so sad. I suddenly remembered that no matter how much people act like they love and want more lesbian and wlw representation in shows or media in general, they still can only accept it in limited doses.
Like oh right, of course, Jinx just cannot be gay because Vi and Caitlyn are already gay! But Ekko and Jinx can be together even though Mel and Jayce are already together, because thats just different. They're straight so it will always be different.
It sucks, because I think the reason I can't seem to really get behind timebomb is the toxicity of their fanbase. It just reminds me of how blatanly homophobic people can be when they don't get what they want. They're happy to say that they think Jinx is bi, but they refuse to even consider the idea of her with another woman, and the exact same thing goes for Ekko. Its just all so performative.
Maybe its a stupid thing to get upset over, but it just really makes me upset to see that people still think gay women can only be represented one relationship at a time, like any more would be too much for one show when virtually every other piece of media is crawling with straight people relationships.
We take up space, and there isn't anything wrong with that. I know it's just a show, but I wish people would stop treating us like we don't have the right to exist and have our own opinions.
