I really don't understand the insistence that gay characters must only exist within a romance plotline? Instead of a tokenized franchise character our animated lead is clearly gay, engages in a fairly accurate idea of young queer culture, and this fits in with the rest of her arc... But that isn't enough for some people who think it wasn't clear. If that isn't clear to you, and you don't like anything beyond a kiss in a film targeted for older audiences, genuinely what is the wish for "representation politics" (an idea I think diminishes actual gay stories and focuses on tokenization). Stop latching onto representation politics please don't put words in my mouth
