Quoted By:
Japan always had "diverse" characters, just that the west discovered that these last decades so now everybody is like WOW REPRESENTATION GREAT!
When it's like... Man, I don't care about your personal problems, just I've wrote a story, why I can't use a sexually dubious character for the comedy?
People like that who ruined the concept of characters like Najimi Osana, which's punchline is that nobody knows if is a boy or a girl. But no they politicized that character for their "oh i can change my gender everytime i want. Pronouns They/Them..." and all that.
And then people say how Japan is soooo old school.
So much that they have specific genres of manga for homosexual boys and girls, and those are reeeeeeally popular.
