3 minutes into the western side of the forum and my head is already about to commit 9th Umbral Calamity. As someone from Southeast Asia, I don't see much of the appeal of the force representation, as some of you call it "Token". In my opinion, it doesn't matter what sexuality the character is, the good character doesn't need to show its sex/gender, but its contributions and stands in the story and world-setting in general; having the character's "gender" or color as the main and sole quality implies that, besides its gender/color, it's nothing else. Having LGBTQ+ characters is not the problem, the problem is how that character's written and cooperated into the story, world, and setting. I don't want the character to be just a "black dude" or a "gay character", I want a character that plays it part in the story and the world, regardless of what it is.
