To point #4: So you’re using “political message” as code for LGBTQIA+ representation? I love how Dame Aylin and Isobel interact, and Dame Aylin is one of my favorite characters. I really enjoy her indomitable attitude, her badassery, her passion AND her queerness. Would you say that it was “comically florid and antisocial” if a straight guy had spoken passionately about reuniting with his gal?
