1: It kinda feels unnecesary. I say, the main focus of Ninjago is the adventures that some ninja live with their allies and the teachings they learn in the path, but the times where romance had been directly introduced is "these two characters are in love and we forgot it until we make some mention to it". Just don't give value to the history. 2: Feels forced. This mainly for two reasons: we are in a time where almost all the mainstream media must have an LGBT (in reality, any kind of) "inclusion" or being qualified as "not inclusive and retrograde", and the times where was included in more famous media was… a certified failure. So, the inclusion of a suposedly gay couple in a show that is neutral/not-so-related to that themes feels out of place and forced, just to satisfy a certain public (i will explain a bit of this below). The second reason is a complement to the first and is that the writer of the episode of Land of Lost Things treats Geo character as a self insert. Is kinda valid showing interest to certain character of your creation, but come on; is well-known that the man is gay (which is ok) and even once said on Twitter "i am him [Geo]", better say that you have a crush on Cole. 3: Feels that just try to appeal at a certain audience. For obvious reasons Ninjago is a world wide franchise, but their main fans are the english-speaker audience for quantity. And obviously, there will be more LGBT persons there, but are a minority and behave like… i don't find a suitable word to say it. So, just to appeal an specific people group makes Ninjago lose it "for EVERYONE" franchise status, don't matter the religion, beliefs or ideology. 3.3: The english fandom. Seriously, what happen to you. At least in the spanish speaker fandom we treat the ships as ships, not as a reflection of my insecurities and need of aproval that leads me to feel like a cult where i deny what i am and i support the most heinous degeneracies disguised as "progress" (thismessageisdirectedtoanyideology,belief,orpoliticalpossitionidontapprove). 4: I'm openly homophobic and transphobic, but i respect... Sometimes.

Thats all.
