"Just because you deserve something, doesn't mean you'll get it (it's a sad truth in life) Fresh TV doesn't want to change the world for the better, it just wants to make children's entertainment"

And they utilized a mental disorder for cheap entertainment. What part of that is not ringing through to you?

The whole show revolves around teenage sterotypes. You're telling me a queer character has no place in a show like that?

And speaking of representations of tiny populations (which is something you apparently don't support), that show has a L.A.R.Per before they have a queer character. And the show DOES acknowledge the existence of queerness, again through cheap humor and jokes meant to paint us in a negative light.

Every time queerness is brought up on the show, the characters react uncomfortably. Every. Single. Time.

Fiction impacts reality. I don't want gay jokes. I want a gay character taken as seriously as the rest of the cast. Not only do we DESERVE to have an LGBTQIA+ character on that show just because we exist, but we deserve an LGBTQIA+ character on that show because the show has done nothing but make fun of us, and NEVER give us a single character. You're saying we deserve to be made into jokes rather than characters? Why? Because we're not outnumbering the population?

People at Fresh probably think the same way you do. You're not homophobic. You're not racist. You're a good person... but when it comes to issues that could benefit those who are not like you, you turn away and push the issue aside.

That hurts.

"I just feel you're taking far too seriously"

You don't take this seriously enough.
