    To me, the parents’ reaction confirms the homophobic bias, especially the father’s reaction. They could just have said something comical like “finally, he’s bringing somebody home”, “finally, he’s out of the closet”, “I’m so happy he’s happy” etc, and embrace the comically gay situation, allowing the people laughing about the gay situation to laugh, and the gay audience to witness a “happy ending” that doesn’t degrade the comical nature of it all. The big bad enemy could also have been a Beholder or a Lich, etc. But no. It’s an orc stud, because the fact that it’s an orc stud is the point.

    Genuinely funny, but also genuinely homophobic [confused gay laugh]

    More seriously, though: If it’s only funny because it features two persons of the same sex, it’s homophobic.

    Imagine the shtick with a man and a woman : it’s not as fun or not even fun? Yeah, that’s because the whole point is the fact that it’s happening between two males. Homophobia IS the point, and it’s not because the comic features diverse people that it’s not making an homophobic point.

    Whoever the author is, they’re forgiven because it was funny, but I encourage them to question their work.
