Ah a Mortal Kombat Headcanon
Reptile and Mileena finds Human Technology really fun to play with.
Smoke got a Nintendo Switch and was playing Pokemon then Reptile saw Treecko and immediately fell in love with it's cuteness.
Reptile/Syzoth shouts "CHARMANDER I CHOOSE YOU" at Scorpion and he doesn't know whether that's a compliment or an insult but knowing it's Reptile, Scorpion decided that it's a Compliment.
It was Mileena's Birthday, Johnny Cage got her a VR set, she now plays Beat Saber to de-stress in the weekends and Phasmophobia is her FAVOURITE GAME.
Syzoth is considered a Brother to Smoke and Scorpion, he has been alone almost all of his life so having Sibling like figures that didn't treat him like a Freak made him cry, also he's little bro material.
Eventually Liu Kang introduced his Kitana to this timeline's Kitana and The latter is still processing on how she even did manage to pull a God as a Consort.
Syzoth accidentally called Madam Bo Mom and trying so hard to hideaway somewhere

HOW DO ANY HOMOPHOBIC MORTAL KOMBAT FANS EVEN EXIST?? DID Y'ALL JUST NOT PAY ATTENTION TO KUNG JIN, MILEENA AND TANYA IN MKX? OR MILEENA IN MK11? OR MILEENA AND TANYA IN MK1??
EDIT :
Kung Jin is a confirmed gay man, Mileena is confirmed to be bisexual. (I'm unsure if Tanya is also bisexual or if it's unconfirmed yet.) They are explicitly stated. So, only three characters, out of hundreds of named Mortal Kombat characters, are confirmed to be queer.
It's clear nobody is 'forcing' anything, or 'making everything LGBTQ+', because those three examples are the only canon characters apart of our community. You can just block the ship tags, the lgbtq tag, or the people who post that art / fanfictions, you're making a huge issue out of something that takes less seconds to solve than putting on a sock.
If a character has a spouse and kids, it's in no way confirming that they're straight. To believe that is ignoring the bisexual people in real life who have children and a spouse, it's ignoring the fact that bisexual is attraction to all genders, including the opposite, and if a bisexual person wants kids? That's great! It doesn't make them any less bisexual.
It's rather disingenuous to claim you 'have no issue' with our community, but then turn around and be genuinely disgusted or even angry when ships or headcanons are made about us.
It's telling when you only focus on the LGBTQ+ aspect of that headcanon or ship. It's telling when you, only after the post is made and you're rightfully getting harmless criticisms, mention cishet ships and headcanons offhandedly because 'look guys! I'm not homophobic!' Even though you never actually mention what ships or headcanons you dislike, just that you dislike a few.
Unless they're LGBTQ+. In which case you go in vivid detail, you describe how frustrated you get, how it's clearly 'new fans' despite the fact that queer people and their ships + headcanons have been a part of fandom space, since fandoms existed.
To bring up past timelines when you're specifically referring to Mortal Kombat 1 is plain stupidity, Liu Kang changed Tarkat from a species to a disease, it's not hard to believe a character could be trans or gay when before they were hinted otherwise.
It proves that, for you, it's not about shipping or headcanons, or new fans, or fandoms in itself. It's about the fact that our community is gaining acceptance, we're being seen as normal, because we are normal, and we shouldn't be treated as 'it NEEDS to be confirmed to be true.' But for cishet people? Oh, EVERY character is cishet, that's just the 'default'.
Oh, and, by the way, it isn't 'good representation' if you can't actually tell if the character isn't cishet/allo, if it takes years for you to realise Kung Jin is gay, that means his queerness was written badly, which it was. If straight men characters get to flirt with women, and straight women characters get to flirt with men, why can't men flirt with other men, or women flirt with other women?
If cis male characters get to talk about their bodies, and cis female characters talk about their bodies, why can't transgender characters talk about being transgender or how it affects their bodies?
If your audience needs to go to a twitter post or ask around to check what your character's sexuality/gender is, you've quite literally just failed at writing.
Beside that, there's nothing wrong with believing a character is straight or cis, either! Just, don't be awful to those who believe differently, don't send threats, just because somebody believes a character is a part of our community.

One more headcanons before I crash
Aside from Ashrah, Syzoth allows Smoke to play and pet his Reptile form.
He is still getting used to everyone giving him affection in various forms from Ashrah's kisses, Mileena's words of Affirmation to Scorpion and Johnny spending Quality Time and giving Gifts.He cries because he has never felt this much love from Anyone in a very long time.
So he is still getting used to two people giving scritches and Pets in Reptile Form that makes him blush.
