#sounds like someone is just arguing against a gray area cosmic love/friendship because they wear male forms cause they can't handle it

When I was in high school my older brother said my homosexual friends were just claiming to be so to be cool and even then I knew that made no sense.

Acceptance of homosexuality (much less trans culture) has never been the most popular stance in the world. When anyone claims that someone is trying to pander or gain acceptance by being inclusive, I have to do a bit of a head scratch cause really it's just another person attacking someone or something for being LGBTQ+ inclusive thus proving their own point wrong.

The concept that someone would choose something so clearly and life-threateningly unpopular just for cool points is asinine, it doesn't make you 'cool' it puts a target on your back and people who come out or include LGBTQ+ themes in their work aren't doing it to gain an audience, if anything they narrow their audience just for including it.

In a conversation about Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship, someone made this comment, something i feel is very off base of your character, but is there anything say able to someone so unable to see diversity as anything beyond "pandering"

I'm the same person that was writing the gay characters and the trans characters in Sandman about 35 years ago. I liked selling books to the demographic of people who read who are are okay with gay characters and need to meet trans characters. When Death: The Time of Your Life was given the GLAAD award for Outstanding Comic in 1997, I was thrilled. And very happy to get the award. And to keep writing characters of all kinds. I don't think we sold books back then because Sandman was "progressive". We sold Sandman and Death because people wanted to find out what happened next. I think it's the same with Good Omens and with the other characters out there now.
