What are the effects of watching LGBT anime?

I've just finished watching Himegoto, a trap anime and started feeling that traps are not that bad after all (sometimes they even make my kokoro excited). Maybe I even turned a little unstraight now. I'm wondering that does watching LGBT gives such side effects or am I just imagining things?

if your sexual orientation can be swayed as simple as anime, maybe you already have it to begin with.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Well if it's woke it will be trash.

But some of those alphabet community shows were good ngl

Anime isn't the one to blame here. It's the fumes they are releasing across the globe. If you don't breathe, you won't get it. For example, I haven't breathed for the last 4 years and I'm still healthy.

Ehh, I mean. You have fujoshis watching Yaoi 24/7 yet they still are straight or are even disgusted by irl gay people so.

I don't think LGBT shows can affect your sexual orientation but they can change your view on them, on a more empathetic way? idk

Definitely gonna catch the big gay.

Seriously though, it's kind of funny that your name is loliconism, I've noticed from Twitter (and a number of absolutely horrific discords) that liking traps / femboys has a huge overlap with lolicons. Weird if you ask me, but whatever floats peoples boats I guess.

A slightly more serious take on the effect of watching "LGBT anime" (I'm leaning towards hating that label)... I think it's very possible for people to open up about themselves and discover other facets of their sexuality through media, absolutely. And that's a good thing. The more people open their minds and realize sexuality isn't this definite thing where you're either straight or gay, the better.

Side effects of watching LGBT may include-Discovering yourself,denial/having an existential crisis about your sexual orientation and finally,acceptance.

I'm straight. I've read or watched quite a bit of material that includes gay/lesbian/gender-bending characters, some of which I found highly enjoyable. I've also got quite a few LGBTQ friends. None of that has changed me from being straight.

If being exposed to gay material "makes you gay", I'd say it's far more likely that you were gay in the first place and that material just helped you work that out.

this lol^^^

I don't think Himegoto counts as LGBT anime (yes I did watch it too unfortunately). It's not really about homosexuality/bisexuality or trans issues as a crossdresser can change between "genders" through clothing while someone who is actually trans suffers through their identity and struggle with which is what. It's not as simple as a boy putting on a girl school uniform and calling it a day.

Come back after watching Doukyuusei and Wandering Son, OP!

I think sexuality is a spectrum and most of the population isn't straight to begin with (and you can call me a SJW as much as you want lol). And characters in anime almost never fit the stereotypical binary gender model (after all, we're talking about 2D people), so it's pretty normal that when watching anime some people feel attracted to a character that is a gender they wouldn't normally feel atrtacted to .

Usually, the media you consume has nothing to do with your sexual orientation tho

I will answer this question assuming I can say yaoi and yuri are acceptable, because they are, LGBT, too.

I can stand yaoi—I mean, I have watched some, but I do not actively look for yaoi anime to watch. It doesn't have effects to me, in real life, at least.

Yuri, on the other hand, is heaven's blessing. I really love this genre of romance, and found myself liking lesbians with girls when I see them as a couple. Well, it certainly doesn't affect my life in a negative way, anyway.

"Traps are far superior than just regular "girls". In fact, girls don't even do anything for me anymore. The concept of overpowering a failed male with your superior masculinity is far more appealing than just the same old T and A. I don't expect you to understand, but I googled it and I found that it's only 2.19% gay. So there's no need to sign up for any LGBT support groups. It's practically completely straight."

Typically LGBT anime and manga are designed for making non-gay viewers/readers gay, so if you're a little gayer after watching it, it's doing its job. I used to be straight as an arrow before watching my first yaoi anime, but now all I can think about is how sexy my friend Brandon is.

Maybe just me but I don't see the taboo in femboys / traps. I'm probably not exposed to much of the anti sentiment directed their way I guess, with the way I tightly control my socializing / SM exposure these days. Plus... while there's prejudice against femboys/traps, lolis are much stronger taboo because there's a seriously morally grey element there, it's not just blind prejudice. Not that I'm anti lolis in any way you understand. Just that it feels much more like pushing against a moral boundary, which I actually really like. I love seeing morality twisted and shown in different lights in fiction. Traps/femboys seem almost vanilla in comparison to some of the more extreme loli stuff out there.
