And now Offerman is saying, "you're right - that was, in fact, why we made this".
It can't just be "we wanted to tell a love story because it's a good story, both on its own and within the context of the show, and the story we're telling requires that these two characters are gay - it doesn't work otherwise". Just... stop accepting the premise of the debate, for ####'s sake. Just because Tucker Carlson or whoever wants to make a TV show into a cultural battleground does not mean you have to engage.
