Anyone else thought of the growing number of books with queer characters, LGBT themes becoming more common in YA, etc.?

Not books but they may as well be vaguely interactive books.

I was watching a video earlier today about the upcoming game-adjacent-thing We Are OFK (peak nu-leftist drivel) and that lead me to watch videos about other similar mistakes like Goodbye Volcano High ("queer" furry/scaley visual novel), and Life is Strange: True Colors (woke attempt at superhero/mystery where the main heroine's power is... empathy).

Any of you came across these titles or any similar?

I've heard of Call Me By Your Name (but I imagine a lot of people have) and Carry On, but I avoided them for obvious reasons.

I've read the summary for Detransition, Baby twice and both times blocked it out because it was the most AGP thing I'd ever read. Can't begin to tell you what it's actually about for the life of me beyond like, fucked up fetishism. Oh, and there's some book about men turning into monsters but MTFs being exempt because they take estrogen and an evil terf military.

Oh fuck, I also remember reading the Jem and the Holograms comic reboot that Sophie I love little children Labelle helped with. It sucked so bad. I'm still mad that a child predator and friends ruined such a fun, stupid, campy series.

Do you think these books only appeal to the people who were already submerged in SJW ways of thinking

Yeah. Pretty much.

Wait, someone actually let that degenerate piece of meat get its filthy hands on an actual, licensed IP, in a professional capacity? Shit, they must have been tripping balls off of something really mindblending to think that was a good idea.

Shit. I got my troons mixed up. Was actually Sophie Campbell.

Easy to do, isn't it, when so many of 'em use the same names? Dudes-with-ladyfeelz seem to gravitate towards "Sophie"; ladies-with-dudefeelz are notoriously fond of "Aiden" (to the point that a popular synonym for "gay transman" is now Gayden).

Somehow the former never opt for the kind of androgynous/boyish names (like Alex, Adrian, Cameron... or Aiden) that women actually tend to favor, and the latter rarely sport unstylish (yet clearly-masculine) ones a la Jeffrey, Gary, or Doug. Why, it's almost as though (gasp!) they continue to act in accordance with the gender-role they were originally assigned! SO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS FUCKING "TRANSITION" THEN???
