In my limited experience, it's not that
In games and movies it's usually:
This character who famously has been hetero, now suddenly bus gay and we just recon that they were always gay, you just didn't notice
Which is then followed with a "huh?"
I rarely see people having issues with characters being gay or trans or anything really, it's just when it gets shoehorned in really badly, or when everything about the show/movie/game is really bad, but my main character is gay, so now you MUST LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
Just make a good product, and I honestly don't care if your main character is straight, gay, brown black or purple
Mind providing an example?
Elton John in Rocket Man.
What do you mean he was always gay?!?!
