You're mixing up one poster with every poster. If I thought the author of this series was a bigot I'd stop reading it, but I haven't accused them of any character flaw and I explicitly said I'm not quitting. I just talked about why I disliked how I've scene was crafted and wished it was done better to avoid triggering people.
You never accused the author, correct, but you WERE justifying others doing so;
“So what? The author still picked a wound by bringing up the topic and then left it uncovered.”
“But there's people out there that are truly hurt by being confronted by their lack of an ability to participate in pregnancy and childbirth, that suffer real bigotry in the real world because of it, and they're allowed to vent and be unhappy about this.”
“Once again: So what? The author's intent does not dictate how people feel and nobody is demanding that they go back and change the story.”
By saying this stuff, you’re justifying people calling the author a bigot/homophobe by blaming the author for bringing it up in the first place and not handling it in a way the wont make sensitive people upset.
Stop being so damn defensive just because multiple people don't like something and one of those multiple people happened to be rude or whatever.
Rich coming from the person who’s acting equally as defensive towards people who are literally just pointing out how unfair it is to call the author a bigot/homophobe basically over a single chapter in a comic.
Somebody agreeing with you but they're rude does not make you automatically wrong.
I never said that so idk why you’re acting like that’s my point, or anyone’s point, literally no one has made this point lmao.
You can be offended, I feel like myself and others have said that, but you can’t just slander the author by calling them a bigot and a homophobe (or in your case, defend people who are accusing the author of bigotry and homophobia) and get upset when people challenge you (and others) on that notion
And just to be clear, one last time: The problem is the combination of Evie's dad saying homophobic shit and the magic babies being a response to earn his approval. If the dad said his shit, his wife browbeat him into dropping it, and then later Elsa brought up "hey did you know we actually can get preggo together lol" while they're in bed that night, it still would not be to my taste certainly but it also wouldn't be getting under people's skin.
First of all, you’re literally just explaining that you’re upset with how the topic is handled/written (which is what I said, so idk why you’re restating it like I misunderstood, but go off ig)
Second of all, Elsa isn’t bold enough to bring up the fact they can have children together cuz, in their own words, “its way too early for this conversation”, so her bringing it up while they’re in bed wouldn’t be in character.
(Also, these girls both went to school together + I think Evie has game/story knowledge so she’d 100% already know of this if it wasn’t taught in school)
