User blog:Weavillain/Chris Savino: "Whatever You Think She (Luna) Is, She Is."

In an interview by a YoutTube user named "haydenclaireheroes", she was able to get a one-on-one interview with Chris Savino at SDCC '17 a few days ago. He discussed the future of the show, the fan's reception to certain events and his reaction to said reception, and other show-related topics. The interview's not very long and for anyone who's privy to these sort of interviews, you're not going to hear a lot of things that are different but seeing Savino confirm some things (like Sam's return) on camera is always reassuring.

However, there's one part that I found the most intriguing to discuss and that was regarding Luna's orientation. After "L is For Love" premiered, fans were quick to label Luna as either bisexual or lesbian, sometime debating on the other side side of the coin heatedly. Well, if Savino's words about the subject can be believed, he and the writers want her sexuality to be open-ended, a blank slate that allowed for anyone to interpret their ideas wherever they saw fit.

One of the reasons for this was because since Savino believes Luna to be a free spirit, someone who doesn't label themselves to decide what they should be and how they should act. The other reason was to make any resprsentation for the LGBT+ community easier, possibly as an attempt to ensure that no one felt left out.

Personally, I can commend them for doing that because of the above reasons and because it offers some form of finality to everything regarding Luna. I can see some object because it's a "cop-out" but personally, some stones weren't meant to be turned over and there's no reason to act as if the ambiguity is a big deal.

But what about you? What do you think of Savino's statement? I'm all ears.
