Perhaps not enough to [[spoiler:bump the ship down from FanPreferredCouple status]], but definitely noticeable. And if it appears that this is simply due to [[spoiler:homophobia]], that's not exactly the case either; common reasons I've seen are that [[spoiler:it's cliched drama that reduces Oswald's arc in S3 to pining over Ed and being catty]] (which would further the perceived BadassDecay), [[spoiler:the two characters had nice chemistry as friends and this twist seems forced/too quickly rushed]], and [[spoiler:[[AdaptationalSexuality both men are straight in the source material]], with Penguin in particular being a known lover of the ladies]]] (aka comic purism, which ''Gotham'' admittedly is loose with already). ([[http://screenrant.com/gotham-penguin-riddler-actors-romance/ This link provides some insight, for reference.]])
