They'll just get praised for the bare minimum of LGBT representation. I don't care if any member of CFVE is gay unless it's in any way actually relevent. It's okay for a character to be gay... but not a side character who's not gonna get it actually developped or not in a relationship. Ya know Gomez & Mortica Addams? They are the most romantic couple in television history and I love them. Why can't we get that? but with one of them genderflipped.

Cause they gonna screw it up again just like they did with the train wreck that was Bumblebee. I WANTED THAT SHIP TO HAPPEN BUT I WANTED IT TO BE FUCKING WELL-WRITTEN AND PERSISTANT IN STORY TELLING. NOT JUST TO APPEASE THE FUCKING FANS. Well I agree to a certain degree, I don't think a character's sexuality should always be relevent. Sometimes, people are gay or bi. That's how it goes. By making it look all special and unique and 'not the norm', it ultimately undermines what the LBGT+community wants. I very much therefore approve of Terra and Sapphron. They're just lesbian. No special attention to it is given. Everyone acts normal. Its made out to be normal.

I mean, think about it. Aside from stories that focus heavily on romance, how often does a character's heterosexuality have a big impact on the story? Would How To Train Your Dragon have changed significantly if Gobber was straight? How big of an impact does Qrow's heretosexuality have on RWBY? Does the fact that Palpatine is straight influenced Star Wars?

And I highly doubt it was done to appease the fans. CRWBY doesn't do that. Monty, Kerry and Miles came up with everything together and something as big as this is very, very likely to have been decided early on. Plus, there are actually deleted scenes that hint at Bumblebee, not to mention the interview where Blake's voice actress says something to Miles that somewhat implies Bumblebee as well. Thank You for poingint out Terra  & Sapphron, shows that have gays rarely actually refer to them as wives or husbands outright. It's not revolutionary, but it's good. Alsoi, your right about Monty & the others originally coming up with all the ideas... but that was almost completely thrown out the window when Monty died.

You know that fight between Blake, Adam & Yang? in Vol.6 The fight was  mostly was animated by Monty. Cause HE intended that fight be what happened in Vol.3. Yang wasn't meant to lose her arm. Instead they made Adam so overpowered that it makes no sense they were able to fight him in Vol.6. Cause while he was out fighting for the White Fang, Yang & Blake had little to no training whatsoever. Aside from Yang sparring with her father (Which wouldn't prepare someone to fight ADAM of all people)
