i agree about them playing into rape culture but don't so much agree with them being homophobic. there's a lot of heteronormativity that sjm tries to make up for in the third book, but she does a very poor job at handling it.

I think the third book was extremely homophobic, albeit almost certainly unintentionally. The narrative presents the idea that a character's friends could easily accept murder, betrayal, secrecy, and torture, but they COULDN'T POSSIBLY accept her being a lesbian sends a really really bad message.

yeah, that's mainly what i was referring to with maas handling her making up for it really poorly. it's pretty clear that the character in question wasn't intended to be gay and she did some rearranging with her intentions for said character to show see, she CAN write lgbtq+ characters, guys!, but her reasons for having her keep it from her friends were flimsy at best and, as you said, homophobic at worst.
