Me=Person who posted this in the secrets you don't want to make thread.

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)

AYRT I mean I understand the annoyance at "only" having wlw rep and not mlm, as is becoming especially common in media aimed at younger people, but how is that a "bad look" as opposed to just an annoying trend?

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.

[(Anonymous)]

It is a bit dodgy when so many shows and movies give the LGBT representation solely to women. It feels like they are trying to say being gay is still icky only without coming all the way out and saying it.

This. Also lesbian pairings are often objectified for the male gaze, where male pairings are seen as "eww, buttsex"
