The series paints them all in a terrible light, and rightly so, but why did they have to be the only queer characters on the show? Yes, we are of course referring to the VIPs, those vile, decadent men who watch the deadly squid games play out for their own twisted pleasure.
Pretty much everyone in Squid Game is bad, right? And that includes the many straight characters who cheat and kill too (except of course, Sang-Woo's lovely mum, another gay icon in her own right).
Squid Game has tragic detail you probably missed So if almost everyone is a villain of sorts, why is it an issue if the LGBTQ+ characters are villainous too? While things are generally improving when it comes to this, LGBTQ+ representation on screen is still far from perfect, and unfortunately, Squid Game is a (not so) good example of that.
