Hell yea, agree with everything, except for Dead End.
Dead End took the inclusivity of SU and TOH and just sorta ham fisted it. Where SU and TOH have queer characters they make it very normalized, those characters just exist in the world and they are accepted. Like, Luz/Amity are fully great characters in addition to being bi/lesbian. not just because theyre bi/lesbians.
Dead End makes their being "insert virtue signal" the whole character and personality. Every character feels like a 1D token with exactly one trait. The trans one, the nonbinary one, etc etc the only character that acts like a person is Norma. Seriously, the "representation" in DE is bad. Like insulting caricatures bad.
