(Anonymous) 2022-07-31 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)Exactly. As of now there is no canonical queer rep for the male Avatars. This can change in the future, though.
I've seen enough media where the sole LGBT rep given focus is wlw.
(Note: I posted this secret before the book revealed anything about Yangchen, and it seems there is zero pairings for her)

(Anonymous) 2022-07-31 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)Lesbian women are seen as safer then gay men when it comes to media (women and men are statistically more likely to respond positively to w/w content than m/m), that and there's the historical issue of women in leadership and militant roles being stereotyped as 'butch' and/or man-hating.
