I feel like if the situation were reversed, people would be much quicker to call out discrimination against gay characters—so it seems hypocritical to criticize this story just because a straight couple appears in it.
Since this is a yaoi genre, it makes sense that the main couple is M/M, but that doesn’t mean straight characters shouldn’t be included as well. Stories can reflect a variety of people and relationships without taking away from the main focus.
