Don't you love it when a character gets retconned as being gay off-screen to avoid having to actually write a decent queer character or having to address homosexuality on-screen? That kind of bullshit normalizes homophobia and heteronormativity.

And then the PR team clarifies they're not gay, because that'd be scary.

In a ridiculous way, too: "... they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation". Yeah, well, puppets don't have hair or eyes or voices or houses or best friends, either. But they have representations of or are imagined to enact all these things. C'mon. I bet they'd say puppets don't have race, either.
