It means “I stopped paying attention and started screaming the second I found out that a character was LGBTQ, so obviously it is their only character trait.”
They hyperfocus on that one aspect, then claim the character has no other aspects of note.
This is a more succinct way to say what my comment did. Well put. Token characters absolutely are a thing, but these people don't seem to think a non white man can ever not be a token.

I read that three times and I still have no idea what they're trying to say.
Are they saying that writers who use LGBTQ+ characters lack empathy? That's the part I can't wrap my brain around.
The same writers also actively refuse to understand racist transphobic incel chuds??
