>>56779048>>56780106And one more final note for this midwit, no you retard, the average Japanese person defines a gay man as a man who likes man. When Gamefreak includes a crossdresser joke in a Pokemon game, its not some arcane mystical Japanese philosophy about tolerance for crossdresser, its a fucking joke.
Its funny how progressives acknowledge that the Japanese are different from Americans, but then invent this entire aspect about their culture, actively try to treat it as obtuse and mystical, as if the Japanese were fucking aliens. Oh, Japan is actually not socially conservative about marriage equality, except let me talk about how they are.
All because you cannot segregate fiction from reality, and you are not the only westerner with this problem. Even now, as you are forcing homosexuals into Western cartoon, one cannot help but find it unsettling, even to morons like you who still prefer Japanese media and you wanna know why? Its because with Westerners, inclusion of homosexuals in Western cartoons is ALWAYS about advocacy for it in real life. Its not about fantasy, its not about appealing to a certain tastes. What matter primarily is real life. Not the story, not the characters, but that it checks off a checklist of appropriate depiction for tolerance in reality. Its advocacy. It is directly linked to real life. It breaks down the segregation between reality and fantasy, so you should depict political flags like the rainbow flag or the transflag. You Westerners have basically crossed the line in a way Japanese media for children NEVER did.
There is a book called the history of anime and manga, that has a passage from some mangaka artist from the 70s and her female readership who enjoy some 70s shojo magazine with homosexual themes. When asked about it, they explain they enjoy it because its a fantastical exploration of something that cannot happen in real life. That sums this whole post up, the Japanese can segregate fantasy and fiction from reality
