| The phrase that gay characters can save anime is something That came from somewhere that I don't know where. Personally I think it's a little exaggerated but I think that gay characters has always had a interesting depht to them in all form of media. Anime however has not really shown too much of those kind of people, at least not serious ones. Do you believe that serious gay characters can bring something interesting and good to the anime industry as a whole? |
| How I love a game |
| What's the difference between serious gay and not serious gay? |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| No, but can anime save gay characters? |
| I prefer lesbians also anime doesnt need to be saved anime fans do |
| 1. Anime doesn't need saving. It's perfect the way it its. 2. How will gay characters exactly save anime ? I mean Yuri on Ice was a big thing back in 2016, and I don't see it "saving" anime. |
| Being gay in an anime shouldn't even be made a huge thing, just considered normal. I think it's kinda annoying that romance, shounen ai and shoujo ai needs 3 different tags. They should all just be labeled romance. Who cares about the genders? It's just love. |

| Kuroko said exactly what I was thinking. |

| anime doesn't need saving because there's nothing worth to save |

| i don't think it'd save this forsaken medium but i'd love some more gay characters but then the loser's will complain that people are "shoving it in their face" while they are fine with generic anime boy #56543 running into big tit girl #69922 |

| dont think so. the only gay characters we get are german school boys living in an all boys dorm. only a minority of exceptions exist |
 |
| As being said above, Anime doesen't need to be saved. But it can always improve and go more with modern times, you know. I'd love to see more strong gay characters in Anime that aren't just implemented for some old lame jokes. We are living in the 21st century, anyone who still got problems having gay (main) characters in anime genres besides shounen/shoujo ai is childish imo. The world is actually very diverse, so why make a fuss about everything that's slightly different from what we usually get to see in the media? |
| Don't know about anime in general but well written and not rapey ones could certainly help the BL genre from being extremely creepy. |
 |
| Yes! Gay all-male idol Anime will save the day, with their sexy outfits with epaulettes! |
 |
| Being gay isn't interesting, so no. If the character is written well (excluding romance) their sexuality doesn't really matter to me. |

| If you are reading this I hope something good happens to you today! :3 |
| Can gay save anime from being gay anime? |
| Yes, Well written Characters can save the industry Regardless of being LGBTQ or not. But that requires the industry to be in danger. Just as long as it isn't written for the Fujoshis |
| Any well written character will save the day, but simply showing off a sexuality won't do anything good. |

Just as long as it isn't written for the Fujoshis I suppose that's true. I'd love to see an Anime full of hot, gay bishounen that was aimed towards guys. I wanna live to see it happen. |

Hearing you talk about it is making me excited and I'm not even gay. Lol. I'm bi, but I originally thought I was straight. It wasn't until I turned 28 that I came to terms with myself. The feminine appearance of Anime bishounen excites me in ways I cannot explain. |

Maybe you actually like bishounen as well. It's amazing how much hotter everyone would look if they all brushed their bangs forward. If you're outside North America, bangs are referred to as a "fringe." |
|
| It sure can. Especially gay guys. All female charactera should just be erased as one 12 year old fujoshi wisely said *sarcasm* (btw, she really said that, no joke). Seriously though, it would make no difference. Meh. The one who come up with the idea either was a troll, or was bored out of his/her mind or is not that smart. |
| If they are decently written characters, it makes little difference. If their only character trait is being gay, they just become a fucking joke. Just like in real life. |

| > Can gay characters save anime? No more than anyone else can. Whatever saving anime even means... |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| The only thing that can save anime is if TLR gets another manga installment where Yabuki and Hasemi give Run significantly more screentime and then Xebec gives it movement. Outside of that, I'm sorry to say that it's completely doomed. A hopeless medium that will never live up to its fullest potential. Rip :( |
 |
| No, it's too late for them to save anime. |

Kuroko-chan said: What exactly is "strong personality" and "serious" supposed to mean? Do you mean well written characters or characters being forceful without caring about the other person's feelings? Would a gay guy who is "serious" about pursuing a relationship with a guy who claims to be straight and harasses him for that sake still be a "good" character?Even if gay characters with a strong personality would be introduced in anime from now on, there will always be homophobes everywhere and they'll do all that is possible to make that anime go down and since everybody goes with the rule monkey see monkey do, those kind of anime wouldn't have a chance no matter how good they might be, or how serious the gay characters would be. steponmeazula said: Do you mean ecchi, shounen-ai and shoujo-ai? A romance anime usually takes an entire season for the couple to even hold hands or kiss, it's rare to see it happen in the first few episodes itself like it does in most shounen-ai, worst yet it's usually one guy forcing it on another. Junjou Romantica even had a sexual assault in episode 1 and BL in general is infamous for portraying a lot of bad things as "romantic".Being gay in an anime shouldn't even be made a huge thing, just considered normal. I think it's kinda annoying that romance, shounen ai and shoujo ai needs 3 different tags. They should all just be labeled romance. Who cares about the genders? It's just love. |

| How gay characters are different from the other characters? Gay characters would be interesting only for gay audience and sjw (if characters will be realistic), and "boys love" fans. I am indifferent about gay characters and I'm sure most people are too. |
| That would be the end of anime world if it was a fujoshi anime that would save anime. UrbanSpaceman said: and "boys love" fans. Just call them fujoshi, that name has a meaning. |

Would a gay guy who is "serious" about pursuing a relationship with a guy who claims to be straight and harasses him for that sake still be a "good" character? I never said that. I never even mentioned about a gay guy pursuing a straight guy, and that would be impossible, since a straight guy can't turn gay. |

| I prefer lesbian, Yuri Anime can save anime. |
| I don't want lgbthfodjd+ shit in my anime that isn't yuri fan service |
