Why are adults so mesmerized by what a person does in the privacy of their home? Or what direction they lean in a fictional show? It’s about freakin magic and fantasy not sex.
fantasy stories have always always always been about social issues - usually a way for marginalized communities to have a voice without the status quo getting in a twist
i mean, X-men is not about people getting cool powers - you know that, right?
Superman was an avatar for the jewish writers who were imaging a savior for their tribe
most alien invasion stories were some sort of Cold War paranoia
etc
