>>10835907Okay, at the risk of responding authentically to a raving lunatic, Japan has a ton of gay and even trans manga. the concept of being queer isn't foreign to them at all, though yeah it's generally done a lot more tastefully there, even if some of it can also just be straight up for smut purposes (not that there's anything wrong with that, also pic unrelated to that). But Japan isn't free of gayness, hell, manga specifically is the opposite of that because it embodies a creative outlet to a lot of things Japan represses in its culture when it comes to social stigma and sexuality, so we've had stories of gay and trans people over there for years before the current LGBT movement really became a thing.
I agree though, when it comes to the America and Europe, writers fucking suck when it comes to authentically adding any kind of inclusion or addressing social issues, mainly because everything just turned into the writers soapboxes in recent years for their political battles, and that matters more to them over authenticity and good writing. And then you have funding companies and ESG scores forcing media companies to tackle these issues when they have no buisiness doing so, so all authenticity goes completely out the window (or it's completely inapropriate like in the case of Earthspark teach 5 year olds to be nonbinary). Those are some of the real reasons western media like Transformers are shit now, and I really can't say I feel bad that Hasbro's hemorrhaging money right now, because they made these kinds of decisions. Just give Takara the franchise full out, maybe we can get a crossover with their new Shinkalion out of it.
