There is no "forced diversity". It only exists in the eyes of those who are uncomfortable with the diversity that IS the human condition. And the 'romance" didn't pop out of anywhere. It was hinted at the entire time.

  • (and my reply was again deleted) TL;DR, forced diversity is when people see others not as merely all humans, but as categories based on their race, gender etc and seek to move the numbers around so their is X #s of Y, X #s of Z etc disregarding skill, talent etc for the race and such. I don't care if the char is gay, gay characters aren't inherently bad and to be honest I don't care Ana is gay. I hated how the romance was done, it was slightly hinted at over the first 2 with the char being brought in in the second to do things we thought Ana did, share a kiss then die. It wasn't like Wei Nings, IMO, it sucked. Unlike Wei Nings it was rushed, and I never got why the other one cared ahout Ana at all, with the only explanation for Ana romantically caring being she was alone. Wei Ning is the perfect example in the Destiny universe of how to do gay characters.

    Which, as I said, only exist in the Eye of the Beholder. I don’t see Ana Bray as a story about lesbian relationships. I see it as a story about a soldier exploring her personal reasons for being a Guardian and why she fights. She fight to protect what she loves, and ONE of those things just happens to be a[i]woman[/i] she is in love with. I don’t experience it as “forced” because interacting with such people IRL is part of my experience. And there isn’t one [i]right[/i] way to portray ANY relationship. Gay or straight. Lest we forget the heroes in [i]Rogue One[/i] antagonized each other until sharing a romantic kiss before dying. No one complained about [i]forced [/i] heterosexuality. So those who experience it as forced may need to realize that they are saying more about their own lives and their own attitudes than anything else.
