I don’t think trigger is gay. Rather I think he likes the fl and just told her that to not be suspicious of him or he meant to confess but got to embarrassed and said he was gay.
Eeee that's a mess. Doesn't make it any better lol
wait, what do you mean out of nowhere? do you mean when he originally told chloe it felt out of nowhere? because she’s known he’s gay for a while since he told her around the beginning of the trip. and it doesn’t feel like trigger was written as gay just so he could be crossed off as a love interest, chloe has come in contact with multiple men throughout the series, especially since right now she’s traveling with a bunch of knights. saying the author only did it to cross him off as a love interest doesn’t seem right because she could easily convey he wouldn’t be a love interest through her storyline. he’s just gay because why not? why not write in a gay character? lgbt characters are allowed to exist as regular people in any kind of story
Mm yes of course they are allowed by all means. It's just that, the writing is kinda awful that it itched me the wrong way.
It felt out of nowhere to me, coz he called her up to talk and confessed he's into guys point blank. Like, there's not even an inkling, or even a tiny foreshadowing that his character would go to that direction.
Now I know that my assumptions above may sound petty, I admit it was written in frustration. Regardless, I'm no that into it.
I kinda don't like the fact that they made Trigger gay (out of nowhere) just so he get crossed out as a love interest. If that's the goal, they could've made them treat each other like family or just leave the friendship as it is. FL doesn't need to go doki doki with the opposite sex all the time.
But if the purpose is to make FL comfortable into thinking the archduke was gay, then i guess that's reasonable. But badly written nonetheless.
Either way, i feel like this series just wants to be branded with "we're okay with gays, aren't we good?"
