And, like I said, that would be good, if he actually showed that happening. But we have zero evidence to support your theory, because we literally HAVEN'T shown Mikaal make that connection, or any line about how he has changed his identification.
Robinson made a pretty big point of NOT having Mikaal identify as gay, and it's something I always liked because it didn't play into the "sexuality is binary" bullshit. And then, all of sudden, without any IN STORY explanation, he DOES identify as gay. Because, yes, having him decide "For convenience, I'll identify as gay" certainly WOULD make sense, but we HAVEN'T been given that reasoning. For all intents and purposes, that's something you just made up.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
