So in Jedi Fallen Order, the character Merrin talks about late in the game how she was in love with a fellow Nightsister, and wanted to marry her until she was killed by Grevious. Star Wars has done a good job adding diversity in it's expanded universe, but the mainline series is still not really up to snuff, so I was glad to see such an important character be given this treatment, and she's very badass. I was looking at my Youtube recommendation list, and I found already...alot of these videos that have kinda frustrated me.
I'll put them in spoilers just in case the thumbnails are considered spoilery.
Comments are filled with heteronormative bullshit too. Of course she would be attracted to him just because he's the male MC? It's like they and the audience has relegated this cool lesbian character into a romance option with the male main character. On the same note, NONE of these scenes are romantic at all. Just seems to be two hurt people who are connecting platonically through their shared hardships and are becoming comrades.
Can a guy and a girl just be friends anymore?
