I hate that Iceman is gay, but some writer also asked editorial for Gambit to be bisexual (they said no), so if one of them had to be sacrificed, I'm glad is not the Cajun. Even when editorial has firmly said that he's not bisexual, "fans" keep insisting that he's coded. Fuck them.
That's the issue. Rogue fans aren't Gambit fans. They see him as an accessory for Rogue.
I mean, that's something that can apply for the dynamic of Peter and MJ as she's not a super hero and she's meant to be what keeps him grounded, but Gambit's a hero on his own, and even more popular than she is.
Of course Rogue fans don't like guild stuff. That would keep him away from her and how can we survive without having them both half naked in bed every number?
Gambit was made the King of Thieves and there is no way his fans hate this. He had the title and position removed off camera because editorial married him to Rogue so he had to be with her all the time. How a fan of Gambit would like this? Dunno. If being married to Rogue means he's gonna lose his own development and stories, I'd rather him to single, tbh.
