You can string as many letters as you want, but you can't get me to engage with these characters.

Buddy isn't gay as far as we know. She says that she is in love with Gabe.
Ok, but why comment on it like that then? You can not like the book and appreciate the representation instead of acting like representation & making the book interesting were mutually exclusive lol.
Well, that criticism of the book really didn't need the casual homophobia with it.

Because it's very obvious they're doing it because they really, really, really want it to be Young Avengers but the X-Men, but seemingly decided that the parts that made that series work best were costumes that are like other heroes and the diversity, while forgetting that the biggest strength of that book was Heinbergs writing, which this doesn't even come close to.
It's not as cynically headline grabbing desperate as the dead-before-arrival New Warriors reboot was, I'll give it that, but it really sticks out as not really fitting in with the rest of the X-line. Feels very fanficy.

I don't see a review thread for #4; I'll think about it if nothing pops up later.
As for the LGBT+ content, it's not really in your face.
"Cable was right!"
I am a Marvel fan preferably cosmic storylines, especially Thanos or Dark Phoenix related, when both the Avengers and the X-Men are involved count me in, loved the original Uncanny Avengers series.
Not a fan of any of the new characters.

The character interaction has definitely been given more focus than the action, but most of the issues probably have almost 8-10 pages of 'action'. The slow reveal might be dragging it down as I can see where it is hard to care about the interaction, and maybe even the action, without knowing exactly who we are caring about and why and I think they should have described the book as a group of X-Men idolizing human friends and then hit the readers with the upcoming twist.
On the other hand, when you believe the letters should be used as a shield against any and all criticism; that is also a problem. A LOT of people have stated reasons why they don't like the book as well as other titles, few of which have to due with whether or not any of them are LGBT.

It’s not a shield against any and all criticism. Personally I think this book is kinda slow and confusingly nonlinear. The problem is when people continually blame LGBT representation for the book being bad, or reference it when talking about the book being bad like those are connected.
When they're using it as a substitute for actually interesting stories, yes it's an issue. New Warriors patted itself on the back so hard the book literally never saw print.
