Is it really better to cater to a minority, rather than let them appear in a story as an organic character?
Personally, I am a Walking Dead fan. I am even doing a weekly review on the new season, I love it so much. But recently the show has attracted some controversy because of a decision that the writers made to change certain characters when adopting the series from comic book to television format.
One person in particular was putting up quite a fuss because two of the characters that appeared in last week’s episode were, in the comic, gay. Well, to be more precise, one was the prison bitch of the other. When writing the television version, however, this sexual trait was omitted. The blog-person is crying foul, saying that those in charge of the show are insensitive to the LGBT population.
