I mean if you take manga and anime, there is plenty of gay characters. I remember in Saint Seya a character like Shun was dubbed by a woman in my country until the production realized that it was a man and changed the voice actor. And while I don't watch them, there is plenty of yaoi anime, or shows homosexual innuendos (JoJo Bizarre Adventures).

So it's not so much about shoving LGBT characters than the preachy, patronizing tone, or shows that need to belittle straight males because otherwise "LGBT" characters can't stand on their own. And of course these "inclusive" characters are "bad ass" never make a mistake, are never made fun of, are perfect in everyway, and writers and show runners think they are owed a medal or something and go on and on about "diversity" in interviews.

So it's not so much about shoving LGBT characters in shows, than these shows becoming purely about parading LGBT characters with no reason others than for the writer to get twitter likes from their followers or something, or even worse sometimes, the production mandates 50% of LGBT, 50% of diversity and has guidelines that comes straight out from activist organisations that are partisan by definition.

The great majority of anime or manga aren't partisan, they don't push this or that ideology, they just tell a story. Hunter X Hunter has at least 2 characters that are transvestites, one of them is an assassin, the author isn't pushing progressivism or communism or trying to satisfying a checklist from a woke organisation.

That's the difference, the mandates from western productions that require ideological purity.
