@sun 
there's history here, actually. following from "characters can only be gay unhappily" rules in publishing and film, gay characters ended up disproportionately in horror genre + people relating to the "outsider who fights back" types like sadako => lot of gay people with greater than average horror genre interest

then add to that the "we want complex women! we want women who are bad people, who do bad things, who screw things up, who aren't likeable" meme response to stuff like that new star wars movies girl

yields now "lesbian monster horror story

@ageha I noticed a lot of Amazon and Neflix shows have gay characters that I was surprised falled right into "perverted villain is gay" cliche. I realized at some point that it's probably because they mandate inclusion in casting so the director or someone is doing it as a "fuck you" for being forced on them

@ageha the other more banal explanation is that there's been a lot of professional turnover in the entertainment industry with the boomer die-off and a lot of institutional knowledge on things to avoid has been lost, I have seen it in other places too.
