Part 2.
Acomi presents Turk182 with some "unanswerable" hypothetical questions while he researches their podcast topic. After that, they talk about the DC Comics Pride Week comic book where Tim Drake, the third Robin, is revealed to be bisexual. More specifically, presenting his relationship with someone of the same gender.
While neither host has any issues with LGBTQ characters, they do take issue with a character's sexual orientation for publicity. When any character is changed for ratings, sales, publicity, or any other reason that doesn't have anything to do with strengthening the character, or expanding their universe. They discuss the need to make a character's race, gender, sexual orientation, or other trait more than a tent pole or constant talking point. These characteristics should be a part of who the person is, and not all they are.
In part two, they bring up Duke Thomas as Robin, or the time The Punisher was black (The Punisher #60 & 61). They ask, why aren't bisexual characters accurately portrayed as bisexual, instead of being called bisexual, but only shown romantically linked to people of the same gender.
