i'm aware, which is why I'm largely okay with the gay characters dieing, because if EVERYONE dies it's not like the gay characters were targeted specifically, since nobody was allowed to live or have a happy ending,
that isn't my point
my point is that I personally think we need a positive story that includes gay characters as well, and I'm still waiting on such a story (arguably Yuri on ice fits that bill already but YOI's director claims she wasn't allowed to make it as overt as she would have liked)
