@zokoi I think you're speaking from a perspective that's focusing on her agency as a character, and the in world reasoning. Where as I'm talking about the author and how the author is writing this trope I dislike.
@juanelric More so I'd say a product of a time more accepting of homophobia, as the specific trope is one that's making a "joke" at the expense of homosexuality. A trope I at least think I see far less in recent times, as LGBTQ+ acceptance has been increasing. I also feel fanservice is a different topic for another time.
