Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon

Yes, you bashed out the tired old trope that if gay people are to exist in fiction then there must be a narrative reason.

No, that’s not what I wrote. If you’re going to try to strawman my position the least you could do is put some effort it.

This is what I was responding to:

I’m arguing it should be done sparingly and only when it serves a more interesting narrative. To make a topical American culture war issue the defining characteristic of a Klingon is easily one of the laziest writing mechanics I’ve seen in Star Trek, ever.

If my interpretation is incorrect, please clarify what you meant
