The director wasn't the issue as far as I know and he confirmed their marriage, it was the Bandai producer that dismissed it. Anyhow, I'm not trying to say PineconeJuice wasn't making a joke, and I apologize if I was rude to them. More that it's difficult for those types of jokes to come across as funny to me because homophobes will also use similar lines to dismiss relationships like this. That's what I meant by difficult to read as a joke, where even if I know they're joking it still doesn't land for me for the reasons I explained. Plus it's understandable why some people might not see it as a joke.
I wanted to explain why the joke in my opinion is in poor taste, and it plays into the harmful narrative that homophobes push to dismiss this relationship, and many other relationships like it. It's a sore spot for me and I think many others but again I apologize if I was rude, my intent was that I wanted to explain how I felt about it, which I think is reasonable at least.
