According to the trailer, it kinda is? Something to that effect is implied, at least. It's a minor detail mentioned exactly once (not mentioned in the trailer either, just implied), and not even depicted in a flattering manner. Hell, the implication is that it's a major contributor to the main character's issues. It's to the point that I'm baffled at how low the standards for 'woke bullshit' are in the original comment. I don't get how 'the bullied main character is gay but bullying can happen with both gay and not-gay characters' and nothing else leads to 'this is woke bullshit.' I don't even follow how 'bullying can happen with both gay and not-gay characters' makes 'bullied main character is gay' an issue. All in all, it's a very sudden and very strange conclusion to jump to regarding a series no one has even seen yet.

Because people are homophobic. That's literally it

Sounds Similar to Glen. Chucky had a son, they couldnt decide whether he was a girl or a boy, as he was not anatomically correct. Chucky raises him as a boy since he wanted a killer son to follow in his footsteps
He was also abused as a child. And this was before the woke agenda.
Also the names Glen and Glenda are a reference to glen or glenda from ED Wood

Eh, why not? The Child's Play movies are fun so a series should be fun as well. The trailer looks a bit stupid but I guess the movies themselves are stupid (that you can laugh at).

Hopefully this series will be the final nail in Chuckys coffin and keep him in his grave where he belongs.All woke stuff aside (it's the norm nowadays) I never cared for the franchise all that much.

"The show stars Zackary Arthur (Transparent) and its showrunner is franchise creator Don Mancini, who co-wrote the original film in the movie series, 1988's Child's Play, and wrote and directed several of the sequels, including 2017's Cult of Chucky.
"The main character is a 14-year-old gay boy who's bullied and sort of lost after the recent death of his mother," says Mancini. "He's a young artist [making] sculptures with doll parts. He finds Chucky at a yard sale and buys him, but it turns out that he gets much more than he bargained for." Arthur is joined on the show by young actors Teo Briones, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and Björgvin Arnarson. "One of the things I wanted to do was bring [the franchise] back to its Child's Play roots and have the protagonists [be] kids. But since, with the first couple of movies, we'd already delved into having little kids I wanted to explore something different, so this time we're exploring young teenagers."
The cast of Chucky also includes Arthur's fellow franchise newbies Lexa Doig (Jason X) and Devon Sawa (Final Destination) as well as returning fan favorites Jennifer Tilly, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise, and Brad Dourif, who once again voices the titular maniac.
"One of the things that we pride ourselves on, and I think makes our franchise singular, is that we have spun a relatively consistent and coherent narrative over the course of 33 years and seven films and now eight episodes of television," says Mancini. "I think that's one of the things that our fans like about the Chucky franchise. I deliberately ended Cult of Chucky on a series of cliffhangers, major cliffhangers, because I knew a TV series would be the ideal place to accommodate delving into the ramifications. So we begin the series introducing our new story, our new milieu, and then we start to bring the veteran characters into the story, and it all comes together for a big showdown."
Another element of the TV show which pays homage to the franchise's past? The Chucky doll seen in the series is deliberately modeled on the version seen in 1990's Child's Play 2.
"Over the years, I've heard that the consensus fan favorite among all the movies is Child's Play 2," says Mancini. "I think one of the reasons for that is how Chucky looked in that movie and how the late director John Lafia, who passed away last year, shot Chucky. Our goal with the series was to bring Chucky's look precisely back to that. Tony Gardner and Peter Chevako (special effects artists responsible for creating the show's puppets) have done a great job. I think fans are really going to love that."
If Chucky proves a success, Mancini hopes to make further seasons of the show and is also determined his pint-sized psychopath will star in more movies."
