Pretty sure the Lucifer writers room has NO idea about LGBTQ+ representation.

Yes, Lucifer and Maze are characters we’re supposed to like, who are bisexual, but all LGBTQ+ characters on the show have been either amoral (and their bisexuality used to show it, and then disappearing) or immoral. The exception being an unnamed security guard on screen for 20 seconds and any woman Maze has made to suffer temporary bisexual insanity with her overpowering sexuality that’s akin to Lucifer’s desires mojo.

It looks good, though, if you only do the numbers and don’t think about context.

Same with female representation. Lots of named female recurring characters, and the women are educated and important. It looks good. Then you realise that Lucifer has stupid insecure dominance posturing shit going on with every new (and many long-standing) character so having him basically only interact with women is the only way to make him look charming instead of like a total asshole.
