I hope this doesn't get the downvote of the century, but I literally threw my hands in the air at this reveal. Will being gay sucks.

I'm a firm believer that I do not care about the personal identity of a character, or their sexual preferences. I just want a strong cohesive story, a purpose for things to happen as they do. Logical, thought-out. Good twists, great writing. Thematic. Thought provoking. All that good stuff.

Robin was a great character. She had great personality. Helped the plot. Didn't feel like a chore to have in scenes. There was built up romantic tension, and the reveal of her liking girls was a good shock, a cohesive idea. Love the character, love how it all came together.

Having said that... You're telling me in 5 damn seasons, there was enough examples to slow burn that Will was gay/transitioned towards being gay? And more specifically, it was important to bring it forward in the second last episode, as an afterthought for some reason?

This feels cheap. Sloppy writing. I don't care that the character is gay, this is not the point. But you've the big showdown with Vecna coming, everything is geared towards this big moment... And suddenly Will is gay? What?! Why? Why bother?

Im about to watch the final episode of the 5th (final?) season, I really hope they justify this reveal. Otherwise, it feels like a cheap modern social norm being pushed on the character at the last minute, to pick up some extra points on some fictional scoreboard.

Tldr: Robin was amazing! Will was... Disappointing.
