n.b. I am not sure I'll be able to keep the descriptions up for all 32 matches, especially as we get to more fandoms I don't know at all, so if you have any ideas for upcoming match descriptions feel free to drop them in a comment!

in ML creatives' defense, Disney is not going to go to bat to protect their latest First Gay Characters when (1) the gay lasts more than half a second (2) they merely distribute this, they do not own it

like, they cancelled Owl House over gay and they do own that

I cannot at all blame ML creative team for their choice of strategy here

Oh, the ML team absolutely has good and sound business reasons for not doing it. I just needed some arbitrary criterion for making the decision, and this was it. If ML ever knows they're in the last season with no hope of renewal, I would hope they stop being subtextual about it.
