Interesting that they talked about how Rae was gay. I was not expecting that conversation at all. It was sweet of Claire to defend Rae despite the fact that she was weary about it. So why is everyone in the comment section arguing? I don't get it? Its not that deep, right?

they think the anime is pushing an agendaš it's clear most of the people here only watch the usual shonen trope type yuri
| @MrHunterxHunter Wait what agenda are they trying to push?? Why is everyone so offended, I literally don't get it lol |
 This never updates so that's cool |

| @cooldogmom That particular scene felt incredibly heavy-handed and had all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. It's not a bad thing, morally, to make socially conscious content, but that doesn't mean the work doesn't suffer from such an approach. There is an interesting dynamic where yuri content typically just isn't that "gay" though, or maybe it's more correct to say that it's not necessarily LGBT friendly/representative, at least compared to what you might expect from the west. The author is definitely pushing an "agenda" here, but if you're mad that a yuri LN/anime is actually pro-LGBT, then you're probably an asshole. lol |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
This episode gave me the ick. |
| I see the cancer is infecting Japanese media as well. |
| "Are you what they call gay" is hilarious, I really liked this episode. I like that a yuri story is actually talking about what it's like being gay. |
 |
| "Oh I don't want my LGBT content to be this preachy, it should be more subtle" lol. LOL. You guys are STILL debating whether or not a zombie girl who literally died of gender dysphoria is trans, even after the staff literally drew her with a trans flag to hammer it in. Half the time y'all also debate over the inclusion of a "girls love" tag for any WLW series where two girls are obviously in love, unless they explicitly make out, while throwing "romantic subtext" on any MLW series where a guy so much as accidentally touches a girl's chest. Just say blatantly queer content that isn't fetishized to appeal to straight people makes you uncomfortable and go watch one of the 5 "dude gets all the chicks" anime that come out every season - this one isn't for you. |

| It's sad for Rae that she's pushing Claire towards Thane but I really liked the talk at the end regarding her homosexuality and Claire's bias towards it and how it needs to be treated the same as if she liked boys etc, that was very mature from this show and I didn't expect it, not to mention some good development as well regarding the characters relationships! |
 |
| Wow I was not expecting a mature conversation about sexuality in this anime. I'm pleasantly surprised. |
| It'll be so awesome if Miss Claire and Rae Taylor ended up being more than just classmates. I love this yuri anime and enjoy how the story is progressing so far. Also, Rae already pretty much knows how to play the games when challenged by other students in the academy such as Prince Rod for instance. Because the real Rae in the real world overanalyzed the game that she pretty much know how the algorithm works when playing with other students. |
| For some reason, these characters talk in a way as if they are familiar with Rae since ages, and that honestly looks stupid. By the way, they should've toned down the usual comedy if they wanted people to take the, "I'm gay, and I'm accepting it" segment even a tad serious. |
 |
| Claire has every reason to fear Rei considering she behaves like a goddamn sex offender. |
 |
| I don't really like Rae's character visual in the anime, her resting face make her look like a psycho imo. I was fine with her visual in the manga. It irks me, but I just have to get used to it I guess |
 |
| that ending, still a M lol |

| @Ashhk Claire issue is she doesn't know that she is gay yet, that's why she is that emotional about it, she obviously has feelings for Rea but she doesn't know how to deal with it when she thinks that she is strait, she is hell of a confused young lady |
| So first the writers do not understand chess or a deck of cards. Guy picks up black queen and moves it as mate. Then flash the board, no queen block, no white mate on queen. Then they move to cards, where other dude AND Rae both have an ace of hearts in their starting hand. She points out he is cheating, but he never took a card. That means duplicate cards in a deck? If you are gonna cheat, do it a little better than a way everyone would be left scratching their heads. |

| @Mihaeroff Japan created this while west "feminist" where still inside their mother. Wich is pretty fun when they remake serie while ruining every part about subject like this (Saint seya Netflix) |
| Ok, so far I'm not really a big fan of Rae's character, but I'm really surprised how they took the discussion about homosexuality seriously. It's nice seeing an anime actually talk about this societal issue so seriously instead of making the show plain Yuri sexualization bait. It made me feel represented as a bisexual man. I still can't like Rae as a character though, I personally don't like how she forces herself onto Claire. Maybe it'll get better as I watch more episodes though, so who knows. |

| Good question Misha, I do wonder if she actually tries to ship Thane and Claire and just wants to admire claire beeing happy or get loved herself Some real gay talk? Wow thats rare, I dont think I have ever seen that in anime ever. This show is way more serious than I expected, I mean actual real yuri love, not just bait and teasing? And the subject beeing discussed as well? Wow |

@DrAkiMakura Got to say, I never expected something this woke to come out of an anime. It straight up gaslights one character, despite her comedic reaction being 100% justified, and then has another character start saying some shit about how gender doesn't matter when it comes to love and that the person Rae fell in love with just happened to be a girl, because they wanted to directly attack the argument of people who try to delegitimize a girl/girl pairing. Those entire 5 minutes felt completely out of context for what came prior, like we're just hearing a lecture on gay rights with these characters as mouth pieces.
The LN is widely loved in LGBT circles, and with this type of pandering, I can certainly see why.

You’re just using a bunch of buzz word improperly because you’re to juvenile to handle a topic being handle with care.
| @AfroWarrior27 Yeah, because being bludgeoned over the head by a full blown woke monologue was "handled with care". |

Even more buzz word, please. If you think discussing basic human decency is being bludgeoned or is apparently some “woke” monologue, that says A LOT a more about you, than the anime.
Imagine being so insecure about an anime discussing topic just because it doesn’t cater to your desire.
The world doesn’t revolve around you, you’re just another anti-woke Stan. I bet the only time you can accept lbgt theme is if it’s played for comedy, which again says a lot about you.
| @AfroWarrior27 I literally couldn't give a shit if someone is LGBT, you're making an ass of yourself with these idiotic assumptions. The problem is in the execution, so it's a complete strawman to make it about the fact it's a gay speech. It's "woke" because it's heavy-handed, forced, and tonally dissonant, to everything that preceded it. This is exactly the problem with other woke content, it prioritizes socially conscious messaging, representation, etc. to the detriment of good storytelling. Don't expect a reply back if you continue to spew bullshit, if you want to debate me on the nature of the scene itself, then provide an actual argument, not this ad hominin bullshit. |

| Interesting. The direct approach for even more topics usually untouched. I can appreciate that. |
