Anti-woke snowflakes are now stark raving mad that Stevie is now gay on the Malcolm in the Middle sequel series.

The Disney+ Malcolm in the Middle reboot premiered last week, but one update has made some fans of the original angry.

Actor Craig Lamar Traylor returned as Stevie Kenarban, Malcolm’s friend, and it was revealed he is in a relationship with a man, and together they have adopted a son.

Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair also introduced the titular character’s non-binary sibling, Kelly. Malcolm’s mum Lois fell pregnant with Kelly in the original series finale.

And while many have applauded the revived show for it’s inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters, it has upset some purists who complained it has changed too much.

Discussing Stevie, one said on X: “Wait why is Stevie gay, he literally was into girls as a kid what the f***?”

Another said: “No way they made Stevie gay in the new Malcolm in the Middle, I will not be watching. Woke a*******.”

Someone else said: “They made the Malcolm in the Middle reboot woke as f***, Stevie is a gay female looking … Lois and Hal have a non-binary daughter. Probably more to come!”

And another added: “What a load of nonsense. Stevie was always into women, nobody was gay, woke stuff was barely a thing back then.”

Fans defend Malcolm in the Middle reboot

Of course, for every person complaining about the revival, there were plenty others defending the changes Life’s Still Unfair introduced.

One said: “Stevie being gay, a dad, with piercings and married to a white man is the most wonderful thing they could have done… A beauty of a scene the best character development. Love it.”

Another cheered: “Stevie is gay. He has a husband and they have a son together. And I couldn’t be happier with this decision! And anyone who doesn’t like it, come at me one by one. I’ve got enough for all of you!”

A third wrote on X: “Stevie is gay, Kelly is non-binary, Malcolm’s friends are in a gay polyamorous relationship, with a kid, and if you don’t like it you can go cry about it no one cares.”

Meanwhile, others pointed out that there hadn’t been an explicit label put on Stevie. One said: “They made Stevie have a relationship with a guy, but no word regarding his sexuality; could be bi, pan, whatever.”

Another said: “People who don’t understand Stevie being bi don’t understand Stevie’s character.”

Craig Lamar Traylor on returning as Stevie

Craig Lamar Traylor spoke at the premiere about returning, admitting he’d been “scared” because so much time had passed since he first played Stevie.

He wrote on Instagram: “For all of the fans of the original show I’m sure it may look like a lot has changed. Age, looks, children, relationships on and off the show. We’ve all grown.

“One thing I can say is, I’ve always been me before during after and now. That will never change and I encourage those loving life and living their truth to have the courage to keep it up despite what anyone says or thinks. We are in this thing together.

“Malcolm In The Middle has always celebrated being other and in that it’s so human so real so familiar and I’m happy to say with conviction that is the truth of the new series and I love @behindmalcolm the cast and crew for being the realest in the business.”
