That's like someone saying "they are all white writers, so they won't understand a black perspective, and if they can't do it right, I'd rather not see any black characters at all". Do you see the problem with what you are saying? Basically, if something is "too hard" to do to correctly to your standards, you don't want to see it at all, and that is a terrible way to think. Shows need to have representation, regardless of how well it is handled. It's almost 2016, people, everybody better buckle their seat belts and get on board. XD I already explained why they don't do it right. When there are shows like Grey's Anatomy and Modern Family that really explore the lives and relationship of gay people and there's OUAT who treats it like a show from the early 2000's where everyone was affraid of putting LGBT characters on their show.

And No, I don't want a representation if it's going to be Tokenized or offensive. And I get that, but at the same time, I think it's a little early to say that the relationship is going to be tokenized or offensive, when we haven't even gotten confirmation of who's in the relationship. As for not having LGBT pairings on the show, I don't think they were afraid to do it, I think they just didn't initally plan for it, and then when they tried to do it, Mulan's actress got really busy, and so it wound up being later than it should have (assuming Mulan is half the pair). But we shall see how this all plays out in 5B.
