Re: Changing the gender of a heterosexual character ≠ homophobia.

Not homophobic, no. but the fact that if they hadn't genderswapped, they almost certainly wouldn't have included the relationship might be closer to that. Even though the characters should be exactly the same, no matter their gender, it was only a possibility if it was heterosexual.

not OP, and I think OP worded it strongly, but I don't get why OP's feelings are so very hard to understand.

It would be homophobic if the creators/writers specifically swapped genders because they thought having homosexual characters was gross/wrong. And why should characters be exactly the same, no matter their gender?

OP said the show was a homophobic piece of trash because they've decided they know what's in the minds of the writers and that seems wrong to me.

I think "homophobic piece of trash" goes beyond just wording it strongly, though.

It's unfortunate that they probably wouldn't have done the story if both characters were dudes (altho I think that's less of a forgone conclusion than you do). That said, I think that's a fact about the media landscape in general; it's only really a critique of the show if it impinges on the show's quality, and to me, it doesn't. And I am quite happy that they've chosen to have female characters on there. I can understand being annoyed but I don't understand calling it a homophobic piece of trash. That's kind of ridiculous, when what the show has actually done is not homophobic.
