| Some of these are not really lgbt anime... but this is still slightly concerning.

Fuck no. also, @Weeaboo_Bomber that is hella based. Might get in trouble for speaking the truth though |

| The quality of anime has dropped since it went mainstream, but it looks like it's totally doomed now. Good thing I mostly watch old anime ^_^ |

| @Memore Almost all gay/lesbian/asexual/furry(?) examples OP lists are made up and have nothing to do with the anime. Maybe prejudice wouldn't be as bad without threads like these where someone is playing make-believe and shoehorns in some representation to worship the "LGBT". It feels very disrespectful to the anime and to the characters. |

| @Vaturna, sorry, I wrote about LGBT in general. |
|
| LGBT content has been in anime for decades, long before Western content had any of it. Nothing at all wrong with more LGBT content, but most of these are not LGBT, especially not the furry stuff. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |
FluffygreygrassMar 23, 2024 1:41 PM
| Fans like this piss me off. Some shows listed are straight off not LBQGT. |
| Yuri yaoi were always popular in Japan. How is this new? Japan has there own biases but Yuri and yaoi aren't seen as taboo as western countries because they don't possess a Christian majority. |

| @Memore Don't care. Everyone likes boobs. Only chicks and gays like weiner. Simple math. Boobs are good. Boobs are great. Boobs are a gift from God. The more boobs involved the better. |
| are we just gonna gloss over the fact he counted furries as LGBT lmfao 😂 |

| @Memore I certainly do as well, double standards all the way. I don't hate anyone more than the other, but really don't care about watching guys on guys. It's my time and I want to spend it on something cuter, so girl on girl is all I care. Ain't got no time to watch BL just cause it's hypocrisy to not defend 100% of the LGBT community. Then again, I sure ain't gonna be stupid to the point of bitching about people that DO like BL, good for them that they have their tastes fulfilled, we all happy, everything fine. I won't be wasting my time going against it as if the world is crumbling cause gay boys ayy... I'll just watch yuri and be happy and let people watch hetero and be happy or BL and be happy or none of those and be happy, and laugh hard at the people that bitch hard on forums. It's better comedy than several anime tagged as such to be honest. |
| theres a massive difference between "lgbt" content and anime featuring teen girls who might be kinda gay for one another. |

| Why exactly my post talking about Patalliro being a children's BL disappear? I'm confused. |
| @animegamer245 Would it tho? Crystal aired a while ago, tho granted it might have been before the whole "woke" thing exploded but I don't think it got that treatment. Anime has been like this since how many decades (like you pointed out), and only now are people starting to bitch. Maybe they should have just done their research instead of taking their keyboards to the toilet and posted the comment instead of flushing it. |
| Hibike is gay? What? Yuru camp is gay? What? |

Reply to Dije
@Nemo_Niemand The author of Kuroshitsuji has only drawn yaoi in her career so it is easy to assume that Kuroshitsuji was also designed to be yaoi, considering that it has an all-male cast of protagonists and follows the rules of yaoi. Yuru camp even has "yuri" in the name and the cast is all female. For slime, the protagonist himself says that he is asexual in season 1.
| @Dije Yuru, not Yuri. Also, not everything has to be romantic. Do you literally think that all-female anime casts are yuri by default? You also mentioned 3-4 all-male shonens as gay, are you sure about that? Rimuru never said he was asexual. He created an androgynous body because he's not worried about romance at the moment. @delirific It's just that OP seems to have decided that all anime is romance and has labeled everything that isn't romcom as LGBTQ. For example, they directly write that Yuru Camp and Hibike are yuri because of the all-female cast. |
RobertBobertMar 23, 2024 9:52 PM

| @animegamer245 If you think that being anti-woke means that any gay content is woke, even where no one would even raise an eyebrow at it, then you have a rather specific understanding of the culture war. This was to assume that any yuri or BL are woke, which no one ever said. |
|
| who doesn't love some female on female? i don't see any problem. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Anime/manga always had something for everyone and for every taste. That is why it's the ultimate medium. So this is not really groundbreaking but yay if you feel like it is important. |
| Did OP really counts Furries as LGBT? What the hell? Also, it's funny that OP counts some anime as lesbians just because it's full of girls interacting with each other. |
 |
| To be fair most anime has some sort of straight romcom element in it nowadays and the lgbters will homo-ship anybody that talks to the same gender nowadays too. So why not just include every anime in both |
 |
| We definitely more LGBT anime than romcoms that's for sure not just anime about group of girls being in a tight knit friendship like Yuru Camp or Hibike Euphonium. |
  |
| I mean, cool, I guess. I don't really pay attention to the overall trends, but I don't know how one season is really representative of anything. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
Dije said: Furries: Re:Monster furries are part of lgbt ?? 😭 this is news to me |
| Too many comments along the lines of "Hibike gay!?" like it's not notorious for yuri bait. |

I just watch anime that interest me. Idc about the gender if the anime have romance tag. As long it's not a weird story.
| @Mishiia This is how I view it, I watch what is enjoyable, I rare base that upon the orientation of the characters, so long as the characters are interesting I don't care, the only time I do care is when the sole defining personality trait is their gender preference at which point in instantly lose interest as this is poor character design. |

| Let's have a look.. Hibike! Euphonium 3.. Queerbaiting ≠ LGBT theme.. It's a marketing technique that baits queer people and straight allies without actually delivering on the queer content.. The Japanese animation industry is notorious for this.. Yuru Camp△ Season 3.. Just because a bunch of girls are [insert activity here] together, doesn't mean they're lesbians.. One Room Hiatari Futsuu Tenshi-tsuki.. This is a harem anime.. Girls Band Cry.. Please refer to my comment on Yuru Camp.. Vampire Dormitory.. This is straight people romance.. Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai.. Maybe someone who's read the manga/novel can clear this up.. From the synopsis I'm assuming something sordid.. Boukyaku Battery.. I actually watched the pilot a while back and.. The blond lead was just painfully straight.. I'm not planning on watching the upcoming series, twenty minutes of him was annoying enough.. Wind Breaker.. This is a delinquents themed show.. Kuroshitsuji: Kishuku Gakkou-hen.. I know where you're going with this, but no.. Sentai Daishikkaku.. Maybe you know something we don't..? Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 3rd Season.. This is a show about a slime.. Furry.. The furry community is not a sexual/gender minority group, it's a subculture that organizes around a particular fandom.. Hope that clears things up.. |
