^ Nobody's hating on you. We're not hating on you for "being straight" or anything like that. What we have concern with is the way in which you're voicing your opinions. You made it seem like you started to dislike OUaT because they made Ruby and Dorothy a couple. Honestly, that one episode of build up was still better than the Allison/Scott build up, IMHO. OUaT was following the whole "love at first sight" deal based on most (Disney adaptations of) fairy tales. Also keep in mind that the cuts in OUaT (from present times to pre-curse or whatever times) don't always take place in the same day. They usually cover days, if not weeks.

On the other hand, TW had literally just made Scott say "OMG she's hot. She's the one. She's my waifu." in the first episode. Like... I don't even have to explain why that is just... bad.


 * "But honestly I think there's a little bit too much hate from people that are LGBT+ to people who are straight. Like seriously can't we all just stop hating and fighting. LGBT+ wanted representation in media..you have it"

Not for nothing, but straight people don't get beat up by LGBT+ people for being straight. There are still kids in schools that get bullied/beat up because they're not straight. If there's a bit of resentment there, can you honestly blame them? Honestly, this is neither here nor there, so it's whatever.

As for representation, most of the LGBT+ representation is literally based off of stereotypes (Cam from Modern Family comes to mind). Like, the representation the community gets are usually people going "AWWW YASSSS HUNTY BITCH YASSSS. SO #FIERCE. SLAY BIATCH SLAYYYY YASSSSSS AHHHH." Or are really loudmouthed and extremely feminine.

It'd be better if it was handled like in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Titus' construction worker boyfriend is gay, but he's not the over-the-top gay that is shown in most shows. He's just... a regular, everyday dude who happens to be gay.

TW handles homosexuality well, most of the time. However, there's still times where it's just cringeworthy as hell. An example would be Mason's like... first five minutes on the show. "Find me a player that plays for my team. ;)" Just... no. Stop.


 * "I do try and get your perspective but guys I am straight so dont hate me for who I am. Don't force me to be anything else and don't try to tell me that I am closed minded because of my sexuality or religion or race. "

Literally nobody is hating on your for these things or is saying any of this.

The only thing I'm, ultimately, saying is that you should probably work on phrasing your thoughts a bit better. Like I said, it came across as you having issues with LGBT+ people and/or relationships being portrayed in general.

At the same time, while it may seem like I'm against having straight relationships being portrayed, that is not the case. At the end of the day, I don't care about relationships seen on shows. The only time I "care" about something like it, is if it's (in the case of Teen Wolf) thrust into our faces. For example, that long, awkward, softcore sex scene between Hayden & Liam. I couldn't possibly care less about that stuff and it even makes me uncomfortable because they're supposed to be portraying underaged kids. I'd rather not have the equivalent of child porn shown on my screen, thanks.

If my post comes across as confrontational, I don't mean it to be.
