Given Sasuke Toriyama eventually take over of his father's creation and younger generation being more tolerant and accepting of gay people, it can be suspected that we may see more LGBT+ representation in dragon ball. Now, given that gay men don't have many strong, masculine male role models in fiction to look up to then what better way of extending an olive branch for past offensive content than to make a strong, male character in the series that just happened to be gay. A good person to pick for this role in my opinion is Jiren.
The reason I choose Jiren was because much of his backstory is still shrouded in mystery; lots of material to expand upon his character. Seeing that romance in the dragon ball universe is not the focal point of the series, we can easily make mention of his sexual orientation by him introducing his husband briefly in a scene, if Son and friends were ever to visit universe 11.

With that being said, I would like to know how would the dragon ball community within Japan and outside react to a strong male figure being shown as gay in the series? Given the amount of social steps put in place to make gay people more accepting in society, do you think this is no longer a risk for the series to take?
