| Personally, I don’t think it’s queer baiting like Yuri!! On Ice. If they got into a relationship together at the end, I’d 100% support it and I hope it wouldn’t be contrived. Other than what swixzy said, I personally did not see any romantic feelings between them, but rather, the ‘bond of friendship’ albeit cliche way to phrase it. They also don’t really talk about relationships in the anime very much, if at all, so there’s not enough ‘hinting’ for me to consider Sk8 that way. Feel free to disagree, but I just see it as a fun, over-the-top sports anime :D |

| We don’t know. We will find out soon tho. If they end up together then I support. |
| I feel like folks throw around "queerbaiting" too liberally sometimes. after ep.8 You could interpret Langa's convo with his mom as him admitting he is in love with Reki. But the whole convo was based on his mom thinking Langa was talking about a girl he liked. So when Langa gets embarrassed when he realizes his mom thought he was talking about a girl, you could interpret Langa's embarrassment as him admitting he's in love with Reki, or just embarrassed/confused that his mom thought he was talking about a girl, and he isn't in love with Reki. we see Langa being all depressed that Reki isn't around him anymore, but that may not mean he's in love with Reki. Langa is socially awkward, and Reki was the first friend he made after moving to Japan. Reki taught him how to skateboard. So of course he's going to be upset that his friend has pretty much abandoned him. And even if Langa was in love with Reki, it be a unrequited love, because I don't see Reki returning his feelings. I'm fully expecting them to just stay friends. Which would be fine, because I don't think there's enough romantic subtext btw them. the other "couples" though....Cherry and Joe hate each other, but they constantly talk about how they've done stuff together in the past, travelling together? and talk about things that happened in their childhood. They come off as exes for sure. Adam and Tadashi give off vibes that they may have been in love w/each other when they were younger(I mean how to you explain that scene from ep.8 where Tadashi sadly touches that heart duo symbol on the concrete when he's practicing skating??? that scene was gay as hell), but because of how mentally f**ked up Adam is in the head, he's now abusive towards Tadashi. so the anime is def very queer coded, but I wouldn't call it queerbait either. If anything canonically gay happens with any of the characters, them awesome, but I'm not expecting it to happen. |
| Maybe the author just felt like writing 2 male characters being wholesome. There's nothing wrong with having gay undertones. No different from hinting straight romance in any other anime tbh. |
 |
| You know, the whole issue with queerbaiting is that characters having sexual tension has never been uncommon in fiction, even if said tension never lands. Just because it's between two characters who happen to be the same gender doesn't make it bait. We don't go around calling bait every time a boy and a girl act awkward around each other in fiction, so we should probably not do it if two boys or two girls do. |
| Anime in general "fujoshi baits" not queer bait. Even if someone is actually gay it's still fujo bait same with 99% yaoi/ bl manga created by women because that's what female fans like to see. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
Medialuna said: Maybe the author just felt like writing 2 male characters being wholesome. There's nothing wrong with having gay undertones.

Often when we are represented, it's done poorly, or just for laughs. mothsoupe said: im gonna riot if they are queerbating istg SAME, but it really doesn't seem that way. In episode 8, when Langa talks with his mum about Reki. I learnt from some peeps on r/SK8TheInfinity that the Japanese clarifys that it's romantic. In the subs, Langa's mum asks "you like that person, right?" But in Japanese we hear "suki nanda sho?" Which implies romance. And Langa responds confirming that he does like Reki romanticly. This ain't queerbait. Just as we thought, sk8 ain't str8. |
Ryuk is somewhat relatable |
| unpopular opinion, but i can kinda see how adam could be confirmed queer in the future episodes, maybe with a hint of tadashi and childhood trauma yk. i can't stop thinking about that time his aunties told him to get married to a decent girl soon and tadashi's reaction was weird (foreshadowing?) still not sure about reki and langa though, the chemistry is quite noticeable, but their relationship could just stay unclear until the very end like in banana fish |
 |
| I don't care if it stays ambiguous, I only get annoyed when they tease a gay relationship and then give them opposite gender love interests. Considering that the only girls they've interacted with are their immediate family members and some random girl on a boat, I don't think that's likely. |
| I don't think they're queerbaiting. Hmm we will see I guess. sugarisdown said: unpopular opinion, but i can kinda see how adam could be confirmed queer in the future episodes, maybe with a hint of tadashi and childhood trauma yk. i can't stop thinking about that time his aunties told him to get married to a decent girl soon and tadashi's reaction was weird (foreshadowing?) Yes! Adam reads as queer to me. |
weeb-ish said: I don't think that's the case at all, like the ADAM character certainly has a weird personality(hisoka 2.0) but that's just the way I think they represent his eccentricities to make him stand out to the viewers as a villain-like character,,,but other than that, I don't see such behavior between other characters like Reki,Langa or any other character for that matter, What do you guys think? Here's the thing tho, yes, the flamboyantly queer villain has been a trope in fiction for decades and decades and it's not likely to disappear any time soon because it's so iconic and recognisable. Characters like that immediately read to audience as villainous because we've all seen that archetype time and time again. However, that's just the thing. It's a villain archetype. If they wanted to make one of the leads queer and keep them sympathetic, then of course they wouldn't have them act that way. Doesn't make them any more straight tho. In general, to answer to OPs question, at this point - and that might still change ofc - i think it depends on how you read Langa's conversation with his mum. If you read it as a confession, and as @IamVermillion has already pointed out, "suki nanda sho?" would've read as romantic to the japanese audience, then that puts a stop to any accusations of queerbaiting. He's not straight, it's not baiting ¯_(ツ)_/¯ |

I'm going to assume that this is not a bad faith argument, despite not being sure how that relates to what i said, but. No, i wouldn't say it can't, however, i would say that's a separate and slightly more complex issue that's perhaps not entirely relevant in this case. I did specifically say queerbait in which case, yes, i stand by my reasoning that if Langa is canonically queer, then the show is not queerbaiting. Your reply doesn't really give me much to work with, but if what you said stems from the thesis that 'queerbaiting could be read as bi subtext and therefor by dismissing it as baiting we also erase bi experiences', then like i said, that's a valid discussion to be had, but isn't exactly relevant to my original statement. |

I reckon that bit of translating may be considered queerbaiting, but we know by the original that it was not meant to be taken heterosexually. |

| It's a show that knows its audience. It definitely teases some dynamics here and there, though it doesn't seem like it'll stumble on some of the pitfalls that this genre of shows often has - like, say, more than a handful of bait with little substance for multiple ships, just to keep the franchise going (Free!, I'm looking at you disrespectfully for this one). The show itself has fun with the characters and leaves room for the fanbase to explore the relationships (even if with some purposefully placed cues, just like Langa's conversation with his mom). It comes down to what exactly the audience is expecting from the show when engaging with it, to an extent. Which isn't to say that the knee-jerk reaction of "is this somewhat ambiguously homoerotic or am I being bamboozled?" isn't understandable. Adam's character is the one that actually has me "Hmmm" in terms of the show possibly trying to do smth a little more concrete with his identity (regardless of the likelihood of it still being Very Symbolic and/or Adam-like). phantomfandom said: Utsumi coming back to close the series would be a very nice touch, one can only hope. Also, the "pretending to be gay (Banana Fish)" made me have a momentary out of body experience, I blame Akimi Yoshida (having to tackle BL stigma in the manga industry in the mid-80's to early 90's).I can't really guess as Hiroko Utsumi is really excelling in both "pretending to be straight (Free!)", and "pretending to be gay (Banana Fish). But one thing for sure, it's regrettable that Kyoto Animation doesn't have her anymore. Though I hope she'll comeback to complete Free! as KyoAni lose so many great people surrounding the franchise due to the 2019 arson attack. |

I reckon that bit of translating may be considered queerbaiting, but we know by the original that it was not meant to be taken heterosexually. actually the TL's did a perfectly fine job with that translation tbh. "suki nandesho" translates to pretty much "You like [subject], don't you?" (jap don't often use 'love' words so suki = to like usually takes place), and even in English 'like' would've most definitely been used in those kinds of conversations than 'love' (which is usually used more when the couples already established more often than not). given how langa's mom was thinking this was some shoujo manga drama with the FL, her context most likely is in a romantic sense, given how Langa reacts his context is probably as well but knowing this director it could easily be played out as platonic. tbh the director probably left it slightly ambiguous on purpose to let people have their own headcannon but we'd have to see how the remaining eps play out |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I really hope so, I don't want this anime to be ruined by gay romance. It would be a shame because I would have to drop the score to 2/10. |
| To clear a thing: when Langa talked to his mom about Reki they used the word „suki“. It can mean both „like“ and „love“. But it doesn’t always have to be romantic. In Japan people would say this to their friends, family members, pets... it doesn’t necessarily mean it‘s romantic love. Because some people say it‘s canon that Langa is in love with Reki because he said so. No he didn’t. He said he liked Reki but it’s unclear if he meant it in a romantic way or not. (I wouldn’t mind either way by the way.) |
| yes 100% absolutely. It sucks because this is a good show but they can't decide if they want it to be gay or not. I wish it would pick a lane. |

Elviri27 said: Only_Brad said: I really hope so, I don't want this anime to be ruined by gay romance. It would be a shame because I would have to drop the score to 2/10. People like this are the reason those shows choose to stay ambiguous enough for the fujo's to assume it's canon but also ambiguous enough for people like them to keep watching it and telling themselves there are no gay relationships in it. They know that as soon as they confirm something it would be classified as yaoi and it would lose a whole group of possible fans. By keeping it vague they also get more people to speculate about it- like this thread proves -and that's more attention for the anime. I feel like here in the scene with the mom, Langa's blush can be interpreted as a confirmation, but then the surprise he showed when he realised his mom was talking about a girl, seemed to be added as a: 'don't forget, you can still see this in a straight way!' Would I prefer to see some canon gay ships? Yes. But I don't think studio's will do that soon. I don't think we will get things that are more 'explicit' than Yuri On Ice was. These people don't buy the BD/DVD so they are basically irrelevant. But the suits in charge are dumb and they think they do, Yuri on Ice was like that because the director fought for it and she still got censored. |

Regardless of whether or not the kiss scene is canon, how can that not be at least in consideration that this scene ‘might be’ queerbait? If Yuri!! On Ice actually was open about the MCs being in an openly gay relationship or being romantically interested in each other, I would not accuse YOI of this. Heck, 2 of the top reviews for the show either call the show queerbait or 'not gay enough'. You don't have to agree with me, but it's downright frustrating and even offensive for me to see this occur when there are actually well-represented LGBTQ+ media like Yagate Kimi ni Naru and Asagao to Kase-san. Heck, although Sk8 might be considered queerbaiting to some, it's not nearly on the level of YOI. If you want to check an anime with good BL, I recommend Given. |

Obviously, it is clear that both Yuri and Victor are romantically interested in each other. That's detracting from my point. Regardless of what the YOI authors intended, it still comes off as queerbait if the romance is HINTED at but NEVER depicted. Heck, YOI is not even in the romance or shounen ai genre. Anytime the word 'love' is used is never put into context. This might've passed in HS literature where you can analyze if Dale Harding from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) might've been LGBTQ+, but Yuri!! On Ice is from 2016. There is nothing wrong with having LGBTQ+ relationships being accurately depicted in media and its been more and more accepted internationally. One of the prefectures of Japan was the first place in Asia to openly embrace LGBTQ+. In fact, your claim that Given doesn't have to deal with censorship while YOI is censored does not make sense. They both broadcast on Japanese TV. Neither of them are R-rated so they get the same treatment. Why are they hiding it? I don't care if people are homophobic in this thread or others, YOI is not a pioneer of gay rights when there are actual anime who will openly embrace itself as a BL. Calling Given a "manga in a magazine aimed at girls who enjoy gay porn" is an insult to their fans. I would argue that because of the fanservice in YOI, it should be put in the ecchi or even yaoi genre. It confuses me when MAL puts the Given manga in yaoi yet MAL does not categorize YOI as ecchi, shounen ai, romance, or yaoi. Maybe it's another case of Free!. I don't care if you agree with me, but you're going to have live knowing that I and quite a few others believe YOI is blatant queerbait. Thankfully, Sk8 is not this frustrating. |

Neither of them are R-rated so they get the same treatment. Why are they hiding it. I explained it to you why they are hiding it lol. One is a BL manga. It's a product written by a a woman on a magazine aimed at women and that existed before the anime. Every producer, director, Japanese suit and staff member involved in the anime knew that whey were going to adapt it and why.They picked a BL manga and sold it a BL product. If you do not want to adapt a BL manga you don not involve yourself with it! BL nomenclature quite acts a warning for people, don't you see how many people here write "I hope it's not BL!" all the time? Yuri on Ice is an anime original where no one knew what the show was about, the director portraying a homosexual male romance in it meant that every sponsor and suit involved with it had to face the fact they were sponsoring a gay romance while they were not told it was the case. It doesn't make sense to you, but it is what happened! The director herself said she was subjected to censorship! Why do you think that happened? You seem under the impression that writers are free to do what they want, but I assure you it's not the case! YOI is not a pioneer of gay rights when there are actual anime who will openly embrace itself as a BL. Name one who is not an adaptation? Maybe Sarazanmai, but it came out years after Yuri on Ice. I believe Ikuhara himself said that a product like Sarazanami would not have been possible years ago! Calling Given a "manga in a magazine aimed at girls who enjoy gay porn" is an insult to their fan .... But i is a a manga aimed at girls who enjoy gay porn? Maybe you would prefer "gay porn and romance"? https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=97317 https://myanimelist.net/manga/magazine/1001/Cheri_ There is literal gay porn on the magazine Given is published. This isn't bad, mind you, I enjoy porn too but it's actual a thing Given fans need to understand. Being an adaptation of a BL manga written in magazine that does not censor M/M content allows Given creator to freely show things. And it's great she can show what she wants, but Given can exist as it is because of the magazine it is published! It confuses me when MAL puts the Given manga in yaoi yet MAL does not categorize YOI as ecchi, shounen ai, romance, or yaoi. Maybe it's another case of Free!. I don't care if you agree with me, but you're going to have live knowing that I and quite a few others believe YOI is blatant queerbait. Thankfully, Sk8 is not this frustrating. Because YoI is a sport anime, it is not marketed as Yaoi. |
BernrikaMar 3, 2021 3:35 AM
| Anime/manga series that are accused of queerbaiting tend to be aimed at female audiences rather than lgbtq audiences specifically. The Japanese use labels "joseimuke" and "fumuke" for entertainment aimed at women, whereas entertainment aimed at lgbtq people is called "geimuke" etc. It's unfair to complain about lgbtq specific grievances in a series that is obviously meant as a fan service for women, fujoshi specifically. Are women not allowed to have their fantasies catered to? There are dozens of waifubait and harem fantasy shows aimed at male viewers and nobody complains (most of the time), but the moment female viewers get something tailor-made for them it's immediately put under a microscope for being "problematic". If you're lgbtq and are pissed that SK8 isn't doing it for you then I'm sorry, I hope you find something more fitting for your tastes elsewhere. But claiming that the show has something wrong with it because it follows the same cheesy tropes that fujoshi enjoy isn't the right way to go either. I mean, call it predictable or badly written all you want, but no need to start any crusades in the name of political correctness. |
crys- said: Bacon24 said: reki and langa dont have a canon romantic relationship yet but langa’s convo with his mom in the episode w/ the context and language used is basically langa admitting he has a crush on reki so i mean,, not much to explain herewhen was it canon lol? Actually his mother asked if it was a person he liked and he said yes. But it doesn’t have to be a romantic meaning. The term „suki“ can be used for both ways of liking someone. As a friend or in a romantic way. Obviously Langa didn’t get what his mother actually meant. |
