Yes to all this, but MLR also has said previously that Sophie is the closest she has to an avatar on the show, which is somewhat baffling, giving the lack of consistency with how Sophie has been written at times. And also, even for a character like Shane who IS one of the white wealthy cis lesbians on the show, MLR said that it’s too bad that Shane’s one trait is basically that all her trauma/stuff gets channeled sexually. Which, sure, maybe that’s how Gen Q has characterized her. But not on the OG!
