Non-LGBT+ Redditors, how is it that making a character gay or introducing a gay/trans character in a movie/series is "shoving it in my face"or "trying to get attention" but pairing 2 random straight characters and passionate make out scenes in children's movies is completely okay?

See you came with logic, and I agree with every single word you said, and personally I don't give a rat's ass about whos fucking who in a superhero movie, but what made me ask this question was how the moment it is announced that it's gonna be an LGBT character in a movie, there are always gonna be people who say stuff like oh, they're going for the diversity thing, it's gonna ruin everything, like the MCU for example, after 24 movies they're gonna have an openly gay superhero who's a supporting character, Loki is rumored to be bi, and his show is gonna have the MCUs first trans character, and people are already saying goodbye to the MCU, like wait for a second, let the movie come out. It always confuses me how two random characters with zero or almost none chemistry (for example, bruce-nat in the MCU, velma-shaggy in Scooby Doo, Joey-Rachel in friends) are paired and it's okay, Belle's Stockholm Syndrome is romanticized in beauty and the beast, aurora met the prince once, and his kiss is the true love's kiss, there's a fucking bee falling for a human woman, that is fine, but a gay kiss in star Wars is trouble(I get that that was Disney trying to retain their cake and eat it too, but a one second kiss offended an awful lot of people). As much as I don't care about LGBT representation in the media, It kind of hurts when there are 1-2 LGBT character out of 100 characters in a movie franchise, and people have a problem with that. Yes making them all about their sexuality is just lazy, and I hate it too, like Raymond and Kevin from Brooklyn nine nine, but saying that they just added the characters to get attention is absurd, bc LGBT people exist and it's okay for them to be represented in a movie/series. As a hater of romcoms, If I can watch Rachel annoying Bruce for two movies(talking about dark Knight triology), Tony and Pepper having relationship problems, Diana grieving Steve Trevor's death, I don't mind watching Wiccan and Hulking or Loki doing the same thing, but yeah, I agree not too much, so that it becomes a fucking soap opera.
