Why do we suddenly have to confirm every character’s sexual orientation these days? Two dudes can’t be friends now without being gay? Is this grade school?

Whoooooo caaaaaaaaares.

Why can’t two guys be friends who are also more than friends? Like I said they seemed pretty gay to me, but I thought it was cool the didn’t bash you over the head with it.

Though I will say I bet gay people care a bit, considering there haven’t been any (confirmed, I mean seriously Threepio) in a SW movie yet.

Sure they can, but they came across as nothing more brotherly fellows to me. But I guess that’s “pretty gay”?

I’m sure you’re joking about Threepio considering he’s a droid but I mean in my experience, you can’t really distill “what makes someone homosexual” down to their mannerisms.

My complaint is just why is there so much emphasis on it when it’s not something that affects the characters at all? Maybe Jyn was a lesbian? Maybe Cassian was gay? Maybe Tarkin is gay? Maybe Galen was in the closet and the death of his wife allowed him to finally live his life as a gay man? Maybe all the dudes who care about each other in other war films are all gay? Does it matter? It’s not like heterosexual is the default state (we don’t need to confirm that Han Solo is straight, and shit, maybe he isn’t!), so the distinction is unimportant unless it plays a part in the story.
