Memes are how people voice their opinions in a fun way nowadays. It's kind of dumb to complain about people making memes. LGBT characters have been poorly written tokens for literally decades at this point, meming about it is a way of coping. I don't think anyways expects the low budget trash netflix constantly puts out to change.

Also, I feel like writing good gay characters involves, to some degree, knowing what it's like to be gay? And like... there are subtleties in writing a character who is gay. If you just take any random character and try to make them gay its going to come off as token-y. If you don't have many gay friends or aren't gay it may be difficult to write a gay character that isn't just a dumb comic relief stereotype. It's already hard to get the right mixture unless you have gay writers writing for a gay audience. And then add in that most audiences are thinking, "I am not the greatest fan of LGBT+ stuff", there is not an incentive to write fleshed out gay characters that will make them uncomfortable.

I can understand why nobody is interacting with your post on reddit because it seems a bit naive to think that this is going to change.
