Literally the only thing I know about this movie is that the main character is gay, Disney really tried to make that a selling point.

He’s not even the main character, he’s a sidekick and not even the most prominent of the sidekicks really. (Despite the fact that he appears first in many character lists for the movie, the protagonist is Searcher)

Naturally, because if it was like Nimona, then the character can't be edited out for regressive countries

Idk you're really underselling Ethan's role in the story. If anything him being gay is such a side plot it doesn't even matter. But I wouldn't say he is a "sidekick" lol
