would making daryl dixon gay/bi be progressive? YES. HELL YES. would making him gay to appease slash shippers who want him to stick his dick in the nearest white dude with blue eyes be progressive? NO. HELL NO. we already have three white gay characters, two of whom are cis men, and the other is a cis woman. we currently have ZERO gay nonwhite characters, or trans characters. pairing daryl up with a gay/bi moc? that would be progressive. pairing him up with a trans moc? hella progressive. all of you anti caryl folks who use “representation!!11!” as a transparent cover for your carol hate aren’t slick. you don’t want representation, you just want daryl far away from carol and in the arms of a masc cis white dude.
