Not really if it was done well? I can't really comment on this without seeing a script with this happening, but I could totally see it working. It's been like a decade since I watched that show so I can't remember it as well as Black Sails, but I'm pretty sure his relationship with his wife heavily influenced the story.

I don't care if you respond or not, you are basically arguing that Flint being bisexual and loving another man makes him 'softer' and takes away from the story. Then you follow it up by saying that everything that the writer added to the story through the relationship could have been achieved by a hetero relationship instead. It's baseless homophobia, you just don't like seeing your macho pirate antihero love a man because in your mind this is a dichotomy, which is probably the whole bloody point of the writer doing it in the first place.

Imagine making this up, then calling people names from this imaginary argument nobody made.

Seriously - point to where I said anything of the sort, or delete your account.

From your comment earlier discussing the character having a gay relationship - 'yeah, that was out of left field and really softened our hardest and most ruthless character imo'

From your comment earlier countering me saying that the gay relationship drove the story and character - 'the Barlow relationship did that already. There was no need to add another love interest'

You are literally the only one talking about anything hetero.

I never even used the word.

Stop making shit up and delete your account

"everyone with criticism that I dislike is a 'homophobe'"

Your persecution complex is showing. Nobody is talking about "heterosexual", or "homosexual" relationships being better or worse on screen.

You need better reading comprehension if you are going to be this childish
