@FireEater Ho boy. That season. I sometimes watch it for shock value, like.... "did this really happen? This got the green light?" xD It's bad. My heart goes out to Courtney the most. I would have laughed so hard if they bought out Sam and was like ".... wait a minute, you're not Owen"

" The fandom would complain that the character didn't show his/her sexuality enough"

 If they showed their sexuality as often as every other straight character shows theirs, then what else could we ask for? That'd be great!

 Gay couples are just like straight couples... only they happen to be the same sex. Not that hard to write for. It's not like there's a whole different method for it. Gay people are attracted to people the same way, fall in love the same way, and have relationships the same way.

 "The only way I can see A LGBT character on Total Drama is if they don't say he/she is LGBT on the show, but they state he/she's LGBT on the Fresh TV website (like with Tom and Jacques)"

 So the only way you see an LGBT character on the show is by still erasing them?... Good to know.

"Most Total Drama characters are considered jokes, except for the ones who provide teen-appealing drama (Like Gwen and Heather)"

The fodder characters are jokes. Characters that make it far usually have story arcs, signature gags, character traits, and physical quirks. It is litteraly not that hard to write a gay character. One of those character traits just needs to NOT be straight. That's it. It's not hard to do.
