Rowling : There's one (1) Gay™ in my series and it's Dumbledore and it's never said but anyway he is Gay™ and he is a Sad Gay™ who gave up on having a relationship with anyone because he loved the wrong person once
Rowling : That is Good Representation™
Too many people : oooh so progressive
Rowling : btw I know Sirius/Remus is a good ship that makes sense and is healthy so lemme tell you that Sirius is Totally Straight™
@Hiraelle yeah i think he planned it too (tho it's really not the best way to introduce a character's sexual orientation -said chara was forced by a god to out himself) (+ most of his characters are blatantly bi but nope -NOT EVEN FUCKING APOLLO- and Artemis' girls were def not straight-. It's still a start tho) (he also has a genderfluid character in his latest serie)
@sempervirenx iirc he actually SAID that it was planned
@sempervirenx but i haven't read it yet
@Hiraelle she dared to say that???
@sempervirenx yes
she also said she regretted killing Snape
not Tonks and Remus, not Fred, but fucking SNAPE
@Hiraelle yeah i read the snape part i came here to scream about it BUT WTH i hate the Straights
@Hiraelle @sempervirenx Remus and Tonks died because she decided against killing Arthur Weasley in book 5.
@smikey @sempervirenx I know, but it's not relevant here
and don't tell me she couldn't have done more because with the series' popularity she sure as fuck could have included characters that canonically were LGBT+ if she had really wanted it
Rick Riordan did it, and he had planned it, if I remember correctly
it sure as fuck can be done
