Besides the gay, mysterious white/grey haired boys also tend to have bad taste in men, die young and do stupid things for plot. Some come back later, though (for a second round of pain and suffering).

This is Anri, from Adekan. More of him on this post. A lot of the manga plays with homoerotic vibes so virtually everyone is dubiously gay but Anri straight out states he is fine with both men and women so he falls into the 'depraved bisexual' category.

And in a manga in which the main is known for stripping at the drop of a hat, Anri's fetish clothes still stand out as, well, fetish clothes.

Well they're clearly a couple and you could argue that Yuri is bi due to him previously having a crush on his female childhood friend and you could consider Victor to be gay since he dressed up like an iconic gay skater.

I think the worst asspull was suddenly revealing Akito is a woman in like the last book to ensure the Shigure/Akito endgame was heterosexual. IIRC Natsuki Takaya wasn't a fan of all the yaoi her series produced despite obviously trying to b8 fujos.

Akito being a woman is revealed in Vol 17, which is a long way away from the end (Vol 23). Its more like 70% of the way through the series tbqh and came out at the same time as her and Shigure's history. I didn't think it was that big of an asspull, its a bit of a twist (especially if you watched the anime where she was cast with the most masculine voice actor imaginable) but not a very unbelievable one.

Furuba isn't really a fujobait series I don't think. There's a bisexual guy (probably my favorite anime bisexual of all time), some weird homoerotic banter coming from Ayame which you can take either way. Also Yuki's male classmates seem to think he's hot as a girl? If that's fujobait I think most shows ever are fujobait.

>defending this trash

They've got the crossdressing dude, they've got Haru, they've got Ayame flirting with Shigure, they had Shigure/Akito (the gender reveal was an asspull, don't kid yourself), shotabait, and even jokes about sexual tension between Yuki and Kyo. Making literally every character straight was ridiculous.

>>3121489
>Reveal was in 6 out of 23 volumes
>"It was totally believable guys!!!"

What are you doing on /cm/, Natsuki Takaya? Haven't found work since you revealed you were a hack?

>>3121753

1) Crossdressing =/= gay.
2) Hatsuharu is bisexual. He was never revealed to be "straight". Like....I'm trying really hard to not tell you to fuck off, but bisexuals exist, and a bisexual doesn't stop being bisexual just because they end up in a relationship with someone of the opposite gender. Lots of bisexuals, if not most, do end up with someone of the opposite gender. Shigure's editor was also revealed to be bisexual in extra materials (she doesn't know if Ritsu is male or female and doesn't really care).
3) Ayame's flirting with Shigure was always played as a joke and his actual love interest is given very early on. Many people still interpret him as bi though, if you want to take those jokes seriously (or his joke at the student council).
4) Shigure/Akito's past was revealed at the same time as Akito's gender, which is far far less of an asspull than most "trap" characters considering Akito always looked like a woman. (Since Yuki and Ritsu also look feminine though, it gave her some deniability).
5) IDK what you even mean by shotabait? Hiro? What does Hiro have to do with anything and when was he ever sexualized? Also why would sexualized children have to do with being gay? What?
6) You are scraping here. Are you talking about when Shigure said they "fight like an old married couple"? If you ever read the series they have about zero sexual tension or really much of a relationship at all. Yuki was a rival figure to Kyo when he was young, since he was told that the only way the cat can be accepted into the Zodiac is to defeat the rat. He doesn't really know Yuki as anything more than a symbol and he outgrows it pretty early on. He was always shown as straight.

> Making literally every character straight was ridiculous.
2 bisexual characters and maybe 3 if you want to count Ayame. Most series have far FAR less. Please don't troll with biphobic garbage just to get a (you) this is a blue board and I work at a bisexual factory.

>>3121762
>2 bisexual characters and maybe 3 if you want to count Ayame

Only 1, faggot, the rest is reaching. And even then, it doesn't seem to be taken seriously in the slightest and is more of a "I make an exception for this one guy". Haru has been deeply in love with Rin from the start. Barely even counts.

>Shigure/Akito's past was revealed at the same time as Akito's gender

There were implications long before then that they had a deeper relationship and that Shigure was devoted to her. But then, bam, the gender reveal came out of nowhere, almost like a "no homo". There were no implications prior that even hinted that she was female. Hell, the anime was made while the manga was in works and even they had no clue she'd suddenly wind up female.

>3) Ayame's flirting with Shigure was always played as a joke

Still fujobait. You moving goalposts now? Do you even know what fujobait is?

>5) IDK what you even mean by shotabait?

Momiji. Girly shotabait is a classic fujobait trope, even Ouran High School Host Club spoofed it.

Furuba is shit, the author is notoriously homophobic and there's a reason the series is a forgotten relic. Stop sucking her clit and derailing the thread.

>>3121755
Nice math, but since the reveal happens IN 17 (and early on, ch 97 iirc), that means 7 out of 23 volumes, about 2/3 through.

Looking at volumes where Akito actually plays a role and isn't just a throwaway shadow/villain (or not appearing at all), there are 14. So it happens roughly halfway for Akito's role in the story.

And ALL of Akito's development comes afterward. Pre-reveal Akito shows up as an evil and abusive figure and nothing else. It comes later in the story because reaching Akito and learning about Akito comes later in the story, as the curse on the zodiac starts to unravel.

>>3121752
>>3121765

Ayame's girlfriend is introduced almost straightaway, enough that her relationship is shown with him in the anime where he gives that weird hand embrace since he can't actually hug her.

Hatsuharu's girlfriend shows up in volume 8, like pretty early on (same volume Ritsu gets introduced for the record), and his attraction to women is given at his first appearance (he likes embracing women if they are cute). He's literally always shown to be bisexual.

So who got "no homoed"? And don't say Shigure since he was always shown to be attracted to women and his history with Akito doesn't appear until the reveal anyway, at most he would be bisexual and apparently bisexuals don't real. Kureno for the same reason--his history with Akito is given the same time as the gender reveal.

Like its super ugly because Fruits Basket has THE best portrayals of a bisexual guy I can think of in a shoujo.

>>3121768

>Only 1, faggot, the rest is reaching. And even then, it doesn't seem to be taken seriously in the slightest and is more of a "I make an exception for this one guy". Haru has been deeply in love with Rin from the start. Barely even counts.
Wow almost like bisexuals can still fall deeply in love. Who knew. I thought they were all psycho sluts, but like a bisexual deeply in love and devoted??? Unheard of!!

But yeah, Ayame might be reaching to call him bi since straight guys make stupid "durr lol I'm acting gay" jokes too, and Shigure's editor's bisexuality was only mentioned in extra materials. But Hatsuharu is an amazing character.

>There were implications long before then that they had a deeper relationship and that Shigure was devoted to her.
OK...? But that's not the same as a sexual relationship, which is revealed at the same time as the gender. There was never a "homo" to "no" (especially since the posters here seem super dismissive of bisexuals so even if Akito was a guy he'd never be the true "homo" they want him to be.

Also Shigure acts kinda ambivalent towards Akito desu.

>Furuba is shit
Furuba is great, sorry you hate bisexuals.
> the author is notoriously homophobic
Where? For all her notorious homophobia if you google Natsuki Takaya and homophobia literally nothing comes up. ALSO I don't want to hear about "homophobia" from someone as obnoxiously biphobic as you. You literally just finished implying that a bisexual "in love" is not a serious bisexual. Nope.
> derailing the thread.
No you. You went into a canon gay thread, where bisexuals were welcome, then took one of the best series for male bisexual representation in all manga especially shoujo representation and started erasing bisexual people and screeching about "shoujobait" because......like nothing. Literally nothing. Fuck off.

>>3121800
> He's literally always shown to be bisexual.

LOL

Except he turns out to have never been bisexual. His crush on Yuki was just a kid's thing and then he moved straight to Rin.

When was Haru ever into guys other than Yuki (which he really wasn't)?

Stop reaching. Haru being bi is not canon. He doesn't belong in this thread nor does anyone else from furuba.

Imagine being this delusional. Protip: bisexuals don't exist in most Japanese media. His "crush" was clearly treated as a childhood thing that he didn't take seriously and never pursued. He literally never showed interest in any other males and any attention he gave to Yuki (which was, like, once? As his depraved bipolar version, no less?) was done for the sake of a joke. He was obsessed with Rin from the beginning. I get that you're desperate for bisexual representation, but Haru is shit for that.

Sorry I don't speak biphobic garbage. Also your being biphobic has nothing to do with disliking Fruits Basket. Claiming bisexuals aren't real makes you biphobic, saying bisexuals can't fall in love is biphobic, acting like bisexuals in committed relationships with opposite gender are straight is biphobic, treating bisexual representation as secondary to homosexual representation makes you biphobic. Also I am going to keep posting bisexuals and you will have to get over it.

>>3121834

>Except he turns out to have never been bisexual. His crush on Yuki was just a kid's thing and then he moved straight to Rin.
Yes, bisexuals exist even as children. Wow. And bisexuals magically don't stop being bisexual just because they get a girlfriend. Guess what? There are bisexuals who literally only ever date one person in their whole lives, because monogamy is not exclusive with bisexuality. Hatsuharu has 2 love interests, one male (that he moved on from), one female (in the present). Hatsuharu also is the one who got Yuki out of the Sohma main house and his crush on Yuki literally changed his entire life.

>When was Haru ever into guys other than Yuki (which he really wasn't)?
He was really into Yuki and he still even lightly flirts with Yuki even though Yuki is straight. Like when was Tohru ever into guys other than Kyou? When was Kyou into girls other than Tohru? Why do you accept Tohru as straight but not Hatsuharu as bisexual? You sound like the same biphobic retards who want to deny Shinji is gay because he has one male love interest but its seriously not a fucking numbers game.

Bisexuals can be in love and deeply in love with either men or women. They are no less bisexual.

Oh SHOOT I forgot whenever bisexuals are attracted to someone of the opposite gender they magically become straight! Woops!! The only way someone can be bisexual is if they literally are actively having sex with men and women at the same time.

Name one bisexual guy from a shoujo better than Hatsuharu. You'd need to stretch for any manga at all desu but I can see where it might be debatable for other demographics.

Why Hatsuharu is great:

-Amazingly loving towards his gf (apparently "not all bisexuals are heartless sluts" is a lesson that still is revolutionary even almost 20 years later wow). Has a romance that probably ends up outshining the hetero main couple.
-Open and unashamed about his sexual attraction to his male cousin and helped to free him from the extremely abusive main house
-Also very loving towards his little cousins like Kisa and Hiro, true pillar of the family.
-Tells assholes to fuck off.
-Triggers biphobes
-Turns into a cow and carries people on his back.

She was never into Yuki romantically or sexually. They were friends, the way Tohru is friends with Arisa, Hana, Momiji, etc. The love triangle was on their part not hers. The only person who she actually expresses attraction for is Kyou.

"Uhhh I know he is bisexual in the story but the author said he wasn't, she changed her mind and said its not canon anymore. It doesn't show up on google and I don't have a source but you need to trust me I was there she no bisexuals allowed ok"

I've read a ton of manga, posted more bisexuals ITT than the rest of the thread combined, and no. Most male bisexuals in Japanese media including manga tend to be bisluts, evil or mentally fucked up. (Sometimes all 3). Even in BL the vast majority of bisexuals end up having their bisexuality fetishized. Evil, promiscuous, or mentally fucked up characters can be fun and I'm glad we have them but it seems bullshit that the majority of bisexuals fall into those categories.

Hatsuharu is none of those, and he's a well written character with a solid romantic/personal arc, and he was introduced in a popular shoujo almost 20 years ago. He is literally one of the best. Like taste is subjective and all, and you might have bisexual male characters you enjoy more, but nah.

>>3122070

.......are you saying kids can't be bisexual or what? NOBODY has "perfect notions of sexuality" (wtf) but everyone expresses their romantic/sexual attraction as is appropriate for their age and development. ALSO Hatsuharu is still pretty open about his sexual attraction and devotion to Yuki even in the present day (even if he 100% respects that Yuki does not feel the same way and supports his happiness and growth as any good shoujo runner up would).

Is there any other biphobic canards you would like to give out? Can you seriously not help yourself? You seriously need to keep on inventing more reasons why bisexuals aren't real? Made a bisexual 3x3 for u btw.

>you just posted a bunch of gag panels when he's talking about yuki
Serious and gag panels with both Yuki and Rin. That "days will pass and I wish for your happiness" and "you still have me" is him to Yuki. Also while Yuki/Tohru's reactions are played for humor (eh), Hatsuharu isn't joking about it the way its played with Ayame.

>oh, and haru's black personality is a depraved bisexual, btw
lol I thought you said he was straight??? Nice random 180 right in the middle of your post. Its like you only see bisexuals when they start acting openly flirtatious (or ""depraved""?).

"Black Haru" is just Hatsuharu losing his inhibitions. He normally bottles up everything and is super deadpan, but when he can't or doesn't want to bottle up anymore he releases those emotions in a destructive manner. Black/white aren't 2 separate people, one flows into the other. When Rin dumps White Haru, Black Haru destroys the classroom. The fact that his release of emotion also makes him more openly flirtatious towards Yuki ("worse than Kagura") just underlines the fact that white Haru isn't "just kidding" when he says how much he loves Yuki. (duh) As he matures through he ends up dealing with his emotions appropriately and stops going black.

>and sexuality in kids is completely different from adults
Obvs. sexuality in teenagers is also different from adults, which is why the age of consent is at 16-18 and not at 13. But that doesn't erase sexuality altogether, kids/teens can be gay or bi just like they can be straight, they just express it differently as is age appropriate.

> for someone so tumblr triggered, shouldn't you be using the term biromantic instead
Nah because he's also sexually attracted to Yuki as a teenager. But if it helps you to use the term "biromantic" go ahead idc.

Well, it's just strange that they leave anything open when Yuri On Ice is definitely gay. I don't think anyone's gonna argue that wasn't their intention. So if it is their intention, then why leave anything ambiguous?

>>3122802
Because there'd be an outcry if the series, as popular as it is, actually pushed for a normalization of same gender relationships.

Keep in mind this is Japan we are talking about. Sure, Ishikawa Taia actually got elected to as an openly gay politician, as a representative in Toshima, a ward in Tokyo, but the country is still a long, long way from viewing homosexuality as in any way normal.

YOI, for example, just teamed up with a hotel (ironically, in Toshima, Ikebukuro). Would this have happened if the anime was actually canonically gay? Probably not.

In other words, it's a case of playing it safe. Why bother to alienate many to please a demographic that is either too small to count (as in, gay people) or that will gobble it up if it's not made entirely overt (ie, fujos)?

It's a case of not rocking the boat too much. And having the cake and eating it, too: the anime can easily be seen as actually gay, which will please some of the viewership; without actually antagonizing many others by actually making overtly gay.

We already know ep 7 scene was censored because of producers. Also I would not call YoI ambiguous.

Really good comment. I was considering the political climate because I know that gay people don't have the same marriage and housing rights in Japan, but then considering that they don't have a huge outcry against homosexuality like US had and there's not huge controversy over it in shows and film I doubted the possibility. Maybe it is the case tho? I've tried looking into more of Japan's view on homosexuality but most polls say that in recent years they're mostly accepting, at least socially.

>>3122818
I agree that it isn't ambiguous overall, but stuff like the kiss... why not just straight up show it if not for ambiguousness? Whether it was made that way by the studio or producer, they could've just made the kiss fully visable if they didn't want some level of ambiguousness.

>I agree that it isn't ambiguous overall, but stuff like the kiss... why not just straight up show it if not for ambiguousness?
Because they couldn't. Sayo alredy confirmed she had to push for that scene to happen.

It's like you guys don't know how male homosexuality is treated.

>>3122873
Thanks for the clarification on YOi

I'm wondering if there really is a disconnect between the actual Japanese people and how producers and company heads view homosexuality as controversial.
Just a thought.

>>3122876
>I'm wondering if there really is a disconnect between the actual Japanese people and how producers and company heads view homosexuality as controversial.
But homosexuality IS controversial, even today. Go read about Koi no Uso or Shinsekai Yori reactions on sites like Mal or even /a/.


A lot of people also use anime as their escapist fantasies and a large part of the anime fanbase is made of whiny manchildrren who are used to get pandered and cannot even comprehend a show not aimed at them.

>>3122878
I looked into both the manga/anime you described. Love and Lies (I believe is the English???) didn't really come back with a huge backlash. All the top reviews on MAL were positive and didn't really touch on homosexuality. The highest negative review was just some asshole screeching about a transgender character but no talk on homosexuality.
I did find some stuff on Shin Sekai Yori where people were talking about it but again there wasn't really any homophobia. I also tried googling both titles and "controversy" but still nothing really different came up.

And on the last point about pandering... A good part of people who watch anime are people not just there for bewbs and swords. Not every popular anime is SAO.

>>3122886
>I did find some stuff on Shin Sekai Yori where people were talking about it but again there wasn't really any homophobia. I also tried googling both titles and "controversy" but still nothing really different came up.
What the fuck. We had weeks of thread on /a/ about the dudes kissing. The MAL thread has like 10+ pages of people bitching about the gay kiss (But not the Yuri one)

Jesus christ, they still bitch to this

Thanks, the links plus me looking through specifically episode 8 helped a lot.

I wish I actually knew the show better myself but it does have a lot of jimmies rustled for sure. It's crazy how upset people got (and some still get) over this show from 2012. Looking at a summary of this show and episode I'm wondering if there's something to how it's handled on top of the kind of show it is. A lot of people noted how weirdly it was handled in that there was a time skip and right afterwards there are two gay couples. There is quite a bit of people who just didn't want that in the show, on top of that I think there's a French kiss which probably doesn't make the shock any lighter.

Anyway I'm not denying homophobia over this anime. I just think that it's more complicated than that and the same goes for anime in general.

>>3122870
If you want to know more about male homosexuality in Japan, I strongly suggest you read Ishikawa Taiga's autobiography, 'Boku no Kareshi wa Doko ni Iru?'
You'd have to read Japanese, though. At any rate, Ishikawa is an openly gay politician, currently a representative of the Toshima ward in Tokyo (where Otome Road is located, weirdly enough). He isn't just openly gay but his platform is entirely supportive of lgbt rights, complete with his showing with a rainbow flags at events.

He is actually not only the one either. There are at least other two that I know of, one of which is a lesbian.

With that said, this is Tokyo we are talking about. I cannot imagine Taiga standing a fighting stand anywhere else (perhaps Yokohama?) and chances of his ever getting to, say, the Diet, are slim to none.

Incidentally, some wards in Tokyo actually do have housing rights for same sex couples. Shibuya and a few others.

As for the lack of public outcry against homosexuality in Japan, as opposed to the very vocal anti-gay voices in the West, that has more to do with the fact lgbt rights are hardly ever discussed. It does not cause much controversy because it's not a public topic.

And there is outcry when it does get mentioned, actually. Just a few months ago, some ward representative in Tokyo made a statement to the effect of homosexuality being perverse. She was not alone in thinking so and was endorsed by others.

Back to YOI, as I got very off-topic, another reason for not making it actually gay may very well have to do with airing times. If the show opted to have an on-screen serious kiss between two males, it should be bumped to a later slot, more likely than not. And this can very well kill a show.
I'm not too sure this was a factor in YOI specifically but it is something that anime shows in general need to be very careful of.

People are usually fine with male homosexuality when it's 1) Jokes 2) Stereotypes (T&B fire emblems) 3) Not explicit, anything else tend to make homophobes or the less tolerant uncomfortable because they don't like the idea of gay guys being like them and they tend to assume straight by default.

It's why I think you get all these no-homo kneejerk reaction every time there is a gay character that is not stated in plain text to be gay like pic related used to be.

>>3122907
I agree on that, and will say that the fact that people are usually fine with it through stereotypes, jokes, and it not being explicit leads me to believe that the backlash can't all be attributed to straight up homophobia.

I also watched the episode of Shinsekai in question and it was very uncomfortable. The two guys get together at the beginning, French kiss and such, and then they break up like 5 minutes later. Huge difference from the two girl character's relationship, although they do have a kids and some tiddie touching.

The thing is poorly developed in the anime, but you don't tell me you believe if those were two girls and the scene played EXACTLY the same you would have gotten angry watches. Anime can get away with 8 years girl kissing with tongue (Prima Illya).


>I agree on that, and will say that the fact that people are usually fine with it through stereotypes, jokes, and it not being explicit leads me to believe that the backlash can't all be attributed to straight up homophobia.

There is more to homophobia than straight up hating homos. Some times it's subtle and it limits at being uncomfortable about them.

>>3122907
I've never watched this show, but this looks like pedoshit rather than homosexuality. Unless the big guy is actually a teen?

>>3122924
The difference in the kisses between the girls and the guys in this show is major.
The girls have more weight behind them in that they have more screentime together and it's not just kissing and stuff. Before the guy's kissing scene (and after the time skip) all we get is the opening shot where everyone in the school is suddenly gay. When the next scene is them on a hill French kissing it feels almost like I walked into a porn.
Prima Illya is a magical girls show so of course it's more accepted, girls are the ones watching magical girls shows and don't get as upset at guys over homosexuality.

>>3122940
>girls are the ones watching magical girls shows

it hasn't been a girls-only genre since cutey honey

What the fuck. How is that even a porno. Beside, you are missing the point.

You think all these guys who dropped it and got angry calling it disgusting did it because they felt it was rushed and not on principle because they don't like male homosexuality?

>Prima Illya is a magical girls show so of course it's more accepted, girls are the ones watching magical girls shows and don't get as upset at guys over homosexuality.

lol, Prima/iIlya is the spinff of a FSN, a visual novel aimed at straight otaku. The anime/manga has pedo content aimed at otaku, it's not CCS or Sailor Moon, dummy.

I'm not sure what you are arguing? Homophobia don't exist.

Oh I forgot, check the reactions to Haruchika first episode.

"yaoi is sexy but real gays are gross"
in fact, the whole BL genre is as far from gay as possible (is basically still otomeshit, just the chick happens to have a dick, which you won't even notice unless it's porn)... exceptions are like 1/100

>>3122975

Yes, they have different opinions about things.

Either way the girls drawing gay porn are probably going to be less hostile to you in real life compared to the straight dudes that may punch you if they just see you.

>>3122940
Others have said this before but the magical girl genre hasn't been aimed at girls for a long, long time. Illya in particular is most definitely not aimed at girls. I'm not even sure what got you the idea that it was, desu.

I'll go as far as to hazard a guess that a lot of BL mangaka themselves have never given much thought to lgbt matters at all.

Someone never read for 2chan. They even still hate YoI to this day.

>>3123075
Statistics show that homophobia in Japan is prevalent
Certain actions of some studios and developers indicate it as well

>>3123075
There is much more to homophobia than being punched.

Japan is indeed very homophobic. So much so there is virtually no legal protection for lgbt individuals and when some development in that area does happen, it tends to be on a local scope as opposed to a national one.
This is probably because you'll get plenty of people in some urban areas who may be either supportive or simply not against homosexuality so that legislation passes.

Keep in mind that we are talking about a country that has never even seriously discussed same gender marriage as a possibility. Plenty of lgbt groups do fight for it but they have almost zero support from the overwhelming majority of society.

Also, keep in mind that that while 'punching' may be rare (at least in adults, gay kids and teens in Japan go through hell if outed), this is a society in which 'keeping face' and societal pressure is extremely strong.
Sure, no-one will be flat-out punch you in polite society but no-one will accept you talking about your same gender spouse either. Expect snickers behind your back, whispering remarks that you are expected to overhear, and if you are unlucky enough, constant harassment from peers, co-workers, and a family structure that will add more stress than support.

Of course, there are exceptions but homosexuality tends to be accepted as long as it is entirely a private thing. Do you want to have sex with people of the same gender? By all means, just don't ever talk about it, don't ever expect your relationship to be acknowledged, don't even dream of 'equality' because, ultimately, it's just not deemed 'correct' or a viable choice for life.

I was on this thread yesterday but was in satisfied with the inconsistent view of Japan and homosexuality so I spent the rest of my day looking at YouTube.

I felt the same way until Hope Arc aired. If Munakata is going to be the only survivor out of the anime original characters and he's left with nothing while everyone else gets perfect endings, what was even the point of including them? At least let him keep his bff and give them both a chance to atone for their mistakes.

>>3123508

In the entire 2015, only a single gay guy was killed for being gay in the US. Its not perfect but like....getting murdered is not the norm for gay people in America.

>>3123671
Never expected someone to back me up on that. Poor Tsuzuki had a hard (after)life.

My problem with including Muraki is that he explains his interest as being in defiling pretty things and torturing the vulnerable regardless of gender. He doesn't treat anyone with actual respectful affection save for Ukyou, Oriya, and his butler. With the prostitutes he was killing I guess you could assume his sexual preference is "can I fuck them up in more ways than one".

The States being such a huge country, you have both people who are pro-lgbt, those who are violently against it and everything in between.

One of the differences is that in Japan you have no large movement of people who will defend the rights of gay people nor do you have legal protection. In the reddest of red states, a gay couple can get married. In the most liberal of places- by Japanese standards, mind you- you can live with the same person for decades on end and still be denied access to their dying moments if the official kin decide to blackball you at the hospital.
This is not some hypothetical situation either, this has happened and continues to happen because in Japan, being a homosexual means you have absolutely no nation-wide rights to have your relationship recognized.

Also, in the States, as homophobic as it can get, being overtly so does cause a strong backlash from the before mentioned movement. In Japan, a politician can make a comment on how dirty the gays are and the general population wouldn't bat an eyelash. You wouldn't see the outcry you see in the States.

As for violence, it is true that a gay person is less likely to be attacked in Japan on the grounds of their homosexuality. But it is also true that in a broad sense, violent crime tends to be lower in Japan and perhaps more to the point, it's a country in which being 'out of the closet' is just not an option for the great majority of people.

On the subject of lgbt cases and the police, the Japanese police could not possibly care less.And if you do manage to get a case all to way to an actual court of law, there will be little to no sympathy.

It's true that Japan has no 'gay panic' but again that's mostly because gay people are not organized enough to be a threat to be taken seriously.

When the vast majority of the gay population is deep in the closet and where lgbt activists have very little power (you can even see this in their mottos. You have things like, 'A small voice can change society', admitting that the movement as it now is has little strength) there is no need to form an active front against them.

Organized homophobia tends to become a thing when lgbt people gain enough sway to threaten- or at least question- the status quo. Until that happens homophobes often feel no need to band together.

You can see this happening in Taiwan that is now in the process of legalizing same gender marriage. All of a sudden there are large marching crowds that are very vocally against. There are marches that are pro as well but that's how the dynamic of social movements tends to work.
These homophobes did not suddenly become so, they reacted when it became obvious that gay people were on the cusp of gaining rights.

It's only really fanservice in the anime? I never got that vibe from the manga.

Actually, between "bi as an extra layer of evil" and Tsuzuki's no-homo outbursts, the manga feels pretty anti-gay now that I think about it.

>>3124648
I'm >>3124646, but I wasn't really comparing them. I was just saying western romance is so muddled by social issues that it's just a bore to watch, even if you agree with what they're saying, because you're basically being preached at through thinly veiled allegory. Hell, even most fujobait-tier "romances" are better written than that garbage.

>>3124648
>Unless you consider BL gay romance

It's two boys. They are being romantic. It's gay romance. How hard is this to understand? The fact that you might not like the writing doesn't invalidate this.

> there's no gay eastern romance
The east is where I get like 90% of my homo from, the other 10% is western fanart/fanfics about eastern stuff.


>>3124646
Exactly! I can't enjoy something where gay guy's entire character is defined by how gay he is and how troublesome it is. It takes the magic out. You're no longer fighting dragons with your virtual boyfriend and exploring strange new worlds but listening to a sermon.

>It's two boys.

What are you even talking about, there's nothing eastern like that. You do know Skyrim is not Japanese, right?

>>3124660
> because you're basically being preached at through thinly veiled allegory

the gay agenda, amiright

>>3124675
It's not the (((agenda))) that bothers me. I could care less what values a show pushes as long as it's enjoyable to watch. When the vast majority of homo romance is a set of shallow characters shoehorned in for progressive points and then used as a soapbox to tackle social issues, to the point where the romance itself is poorly written and bland, it becomes an issue to me.

>>3124681
So what you want is a story about gay dudes doing cool fantasy shit. I'm sure there are games, novels, or shows that have that.

>>3124686
What I want is media where gays have more to their characters than just "I'm gay". Obviously they exist, but it's all obscure or at least overshadowed by mainstream homos whose personalities, backstories, and motivations are all solely revolving around bland stereotypes.

>>3124686
Anyone that has spent much time looking at media will tell you that there are very, very instances of cool gay men doing fantasy stuff. And of the stuff that exists it rarely raises to the level of mediocre.

The majority of stuff that comes out of the west is soap-boxing, at best you get a supporting character that might be cool. And every decade or so you might get something like Midnighter.

The east has more stuff but nearly all of is fujoshi stuff which focus almost exclusively on the romance (no cool adventures). Fujoshi stuff is also almost universally weak in writing and animation quality.

The pile of stuff we have is so small we have to relay on slash just to make it feasible. As the number of cannon homo characters as opposed to just homo-erotic characters is insanely low (and again most of these are token characters).

So most gays are fucking STARVED for a decent piece of media about gay men (real gay men, not ambigious or slash stuff) doing cool stuff.

>>3124692
>The east has more stuff but nearly all of is fujoshi stuff which focus almost exclusively on the romance (no cool adventures)
There's that mobile game 放サモ that's made by and for gay men. Don't expect a ton of brilliant writing though as its purpose is obviously titillation. It's super popular nonetheless.

>>3124646
>Look at Skyrim. You can marry whoever the fuck, it doesn't matter.
And how is that political? Skyrim's romances are half-cooked shit, like everything in that game. There aren't even romances in that game.

>Look at Dragon Age Cisquisition. The gay love option is a flamboyant stereotype whose entire backstory revolves around his dad not approving of his sexuality.
Woah, one character! And "his entire backstory" isn't even true, it's just his personal quest and it's one character in 3 games! And Dorian isn't even flamboyant.

>t. Flamboyant fruit

Considering exploring the problems of human society and human condition has been the staple of literature all over the world for centuries (or even thousands of years in some cases), you're clearly out of luck. Social commentary of all stripes is not immune to bad writing and never has been, but that's on the particular writer.

You don't have to like some particular trends; everybody enjoys fiction for different reasons. But demanding that the world should conform to your personal taste is simply childish.

>>3124836

Then you're out of luck because there are already tentative inroads even in Japan with lgbt rights.
Ishikawa Taiga was elected, after all, I doubt he'd have a snowball's chance in hell ten years ago.

Same person.

The worst thing about how the west politicizing homo is that it is hostile and guilt tripping to hetrosexual society. The moment you train yourself to think like that you have lost. You've now alienated yourself from everything, you are fundamentally alone. Not because society rejected you but because you rejected it. Even if you do improve the civil rights of homosexuals you know have turned them into ressentful, spiteful, vermin.
That's ultimately what happened to the blacks, they got their civil rights through guilt-tripping and woe-is-me, so they end up with massive inferiority complexes and a hostility to the majority culture.

Video games and anime are my sanctuary FROM the political and social maddness. I like what they do in Japanese stuff where there is no focus on politics just some cute romance and adventure.

'' Excuse me my straight amazing hetero overlord master king who is way above me, I don't mean any disrespect by speaking out on this issue because I know how amazing and great you straights and heteros and what lowly disgusting subhuman vermin us gross faggots are and we definitely shouldn't complain because you amazing hetero royalty who sometimes even let us live with our gross homosexuality, but, could we have some human rights and stuff NOT THAT WE DESERVE ANY BECAUSE WE ARE SUCH FILTH COMPARED TO YOU but it would be nice to have what you have BUT I UNDERSTAND IF YOUR ROYAL HETERONESS DOESN'T WANT TO GRACE US WITH YOUR AMAZING APPROVAL, FOR WE ARE JUST PERVERTED ANIMALS '' ?

I'd say that's a very needed leftist baggage and very relatable in our times

Even that it's perceived as leftist is not a good thing, when agitation for one's basic rights is an infringement of social norms and viewed as notorious activism

The severity of being fucked up you get from feeling alienated is WAY worst than your state of civil rights. And unless you are a fucking attorney it's also the more important personal issue. Individuals cannot change the laws of a country but you can change your deposition to the culture.

>>3124922
What point? Anyone that would think in those terms has sever psychological trauma. Which is exactly what I am saying you will get if you think of hetrosexual culture in hostile or alienating terms. I do not consider myself part of a different culture as a result they are not my 'masters'.

So what you are doing? You are sperging like a retard about "politics" and "the evil LGBT agenda".

I don't see anyone else bitching.

Have a canon homo.

How gay is King of Prism?

Lips touching gay.

>>3124953
As a joke or actual homo?

>>3124954
Actual homo, one of them being the MC.

The most unexpectedly popular supporting character is also all but said to be bi, and another popular guy admires one of the Herero guys.

Alex?

This actually sounds interesting, which of the MCs is homo? Also do I have to watch Pretty rhythm first?

Wrong. You have no knowledge about it, stop insulting him for no reason.

And I seriously fail to see what are you even trying to say, what do you mean "heterosexual culture", "alienating" from it, what does it mean to be part of a culture, apart from that it apparently makes such a culture your "master" - it feels like you're developing some obscure social theory but I don't even understand the terminology you're using. I think the point is - what can LGBT people do to pursue equality in the current homophobic societies?

And please see this >>3124912 post

The main character is homo. The blonde twink his is love interest (Not in this pic)

The main trio is straight and has girlfriend, except I think the brow one? Other side characters are various shades of homo.

My point is the average person does very little. The heavy lifting is done by lawyers and psychologists. You're assuming that once every LGBT gets their rights they will be happy. I'm saying that's not the case at all.

Running around like a chicken with your head-cut off will not get you more civil rights. What it WILL do is make you feel alienated from a lot of things and get your mind wrapped up in an 'us vs them' mentality. And if you develop that you'll still be a sad-sack even WITH your rights.

you are the same woman who was raging in one of the survey threads about homophobia being imaginary, aren't you

you complain about LGBTs not doing anything, but you don't want us to create works of fiction to raise awareness to our issues

you just want to masturbate to the faggots you hate, don't you

-midnighter, not cute but is gay

I'm not a woman and I don't know what thread you are talking about.

I am incapable of enjoying any gay stuff that gets political, guilt trippy, or involves some heart-breaking sob story. I don't WANT to hear about the issues in video games and anime, I want pure fantasy.

>not doing anything,
For a brief time I served as surrogate father to 16 year old who's parents abounded him because they didn't want to 'raise a fag'. The twitter 'activists' could end up in concentration camps and I would not shed a single tear.

>raise awareness to our issues
If raising awarness actually did anything we would have a cure for breast cancer. Every person in the country knows what that pink ribbons means!

OK? So stick to pure fantasy. What the fuck do you want? There are shitons of western novels devoted to pure smutty adventures between two dudes, /cm/ has a literal thread for that. Go read, I don't know, Captive Prince,

If people want to use fiction to explore "politics" they are also free to do so, fiction has always been used to explore human conditions, there is even a fucking genre called "Cautionary tale".

Did you get triggered by this Shinagami Tasogare?


>If raising awarness actually did anything we would have a cure for breast cancer.

Not even him, but what kind of idiotic comparison is that? One is a purely social issue, the other is psychical illness.

The anime is a lot more servicey, adding in more almost lip touch moments than the manga ever had. In the manga there's a few jokes about characters being attracted to Tsuzuki and resisting it, and certainly the prettiest eyelashes and most shapely bums happen whenever the guys get close to one another. I've seen old fansites refer to it as BLppoi, or BL-ish, as a sort of aesthetic to please readers without actually going anywhere. I guess that means it's for the sake of eyecandy.

But yeah, pretty much. All the active homosexuals in St Michaels get killed off horribly and it's implied a demon drove them to act on their desires to begin with (Mitani-sensei is treated really kindly for a while though). I've seen Japanese fans say Matsushita had some angry outburst about how she's never done BL and none of her characters are gay, but the only evidence I can find is her complaining she's never done doujinshi so please stop asking. I think she's ashamed of the homoerotic moments she did before, the redraws try to switch out some surprise naked Nagare for more art of his wives, Kasane and Rui.

She likes pretty men but she's not entirely committed to what she wants them doing. Every character comes with a no homo excuse but puts their arms around another while making bedroom eyes. They only briefly get to do the same with the opposite sex, and sometimes that opposite sex is Tsuzuki with tits.

Hasn't it crossed your mind that people 'become ugly' precisely because they are treated like shit? No cause and effect at all here?

As for what can be done with gay people: Treat them like *people*. This doesn't mean you have to do activism, it's true that only a few people will be actively involved in lgbt rights movements.

What can you do is simply treat gay people you encounter like actual human beings. That's something anyone and everyone can do.

All this aside, the one who seems seething with anger is you.

Oh Great is actually pretty good at having gay/lesbian characters in his works who aren't just joke characters.
Yeah, sometimes their sexuality is played for laughs but for the most part there is more to the characters than JUST being gay.

AIr gear had a huge amount of canon homos for a shounen manga, there was even an openly gay couple at one point.
