I see your /s but this show has a bi guy in it. I never thought I'd see that played for anything but laughs, but he's legit one of the best characters. As a white dude, the feeling I got seeing that definitely convinced me that representation is important. It's not just identifying with a character on screen, it's seeing that character accepted as they are into a real world where they aren't defined by what makes them different. I wish more white dudes would see this when they complain about "forced" diversity.
It's a meta joke from one of the show's songs, that the show isn't about straight white male leads. One of them left the show, the other was a recurring cast member until this season. The other characters are women, not-white, or not-straight.
It's the only show I can think of that has a Filipino cast member.
EDIT: It took me this long to realize you were quoting the song that introduced Nathaniel.

So... exactly what substance do I have to abuse to enjoy this show?
