Saying this as a staunch leftist: It's a problem when we've taken purity culture and morality and have made them so black and white that it's either you're for us, or against us. But you're not rallying against some great evil like you might think;
You ask for LGBTQ+ content, and when they deliver it, you turn around and say that anything said company or publisher prints is only doing it to "milk the fans."
You might think you're tearing down capitalism when in reality you're just further disincentivizing anyone from wanting to bring you officially published LGBTQ+ LOC content. Content, which by the way, helps the authors, artists, translators, and more get paid for their hard work.
I think ppl want a boogeyman so bad to answer for all the shit in this world and so they police; when that misplaced anger hits LOC people, fans seem to forget that LOC people are fans ~first and foremost~. That's how we got here in the first place.
