>>54360105I'm not certain how this is relevant to Pocket Monsters, but to make it relevant: how long before we'll see canonically, unambiguously gay stuff in this franchise? It won't be long before Japan folds after all; there doesn't seem to be an end to rising global gayness any time soon. And even if Japan were to hold out, it's rather clear that TPC and GF try to pander to a global audience as well, and sometimes it feels like said global audience who are into Pokémon also happens to be increasingly gay.
>>54360416It's such a fascinating phenomenon and I'm not quite sure how we got here, but I assume the internet played quite a big role.
