Will your roleplay in the laundry room?

I have seen it before, entirely possible to get a little fruity in the poopshoot.

Yeah possibly, he'd be what 10 years older than her though, so that's a bit long to wait for a love interest loool. I don't remember their exact ages at end of DBZ but I know it wasn't more than 12 for sure. I think Goten will be cutest looking of all the earth Saiyans when he starts getting up into his teens and young adult years (assuming Super has a time skip or some other crazy factor).

Also, he's stated that his philosophy revolves around just making a good scene that he likes personally, thinks is cute, or is fun for the audience and doesn't have any reservations about retconning shit as long as it doesn't really impact the overall narrative that he's trying to develop. And if you look at this case with the Pilaf Gang, it seems he is a fan of doing this if it also suits his purposes to further his own vision lol. He's specifically mentioned instances about Bulma and Trunks' hair color discrepancy, Videl's character design, the fact that Bulma has a sister that no one ever heard of before, ect... Since he pretty much designs all the major characters and plot elements before the animation and editorial team do anything it's kind of difficult to find away to excuse this as not being by his design lmao.

mochi[/member] Yep appears that way, at least that's what I understood him to mean lol. Basically, he just wanted to cause he thought they were cute as kids, and wanted to give Trunks a girlfriend.

I mean, I've never considered the possibility of pizza sexuality but I might be inclined to under the right circumstances.

I'm not sure would you make love with said waifu furry pillow? (it doesn't matter either way I luv u forever and always)

DUUUDE THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE. I love fall cause pumpkin shit is one of my favorite things. NOM

THE FUCK LOL

Do you have a cow waifu plushy? If not this should probably happen.

I know what you mean, if you've ever seen Chrisley Knows Best you have seen one of those.

That penguin knows what's up.

Waifu inception.

He will surely have insight.

Yeah see response above, I already know about that. ;P

Why Mochi? He knows about as much about Waifus as I do, which is pretty much nothing. I wasn't referring to the gay version which is Husbando, I wanted to see if I could get a legit and/or comical response from the straight boys on whether or not a gay dude can have a legit waifu and what that might look like. Like an anime version of beard? Is there even a name for that lmao.

The Pilaf gang was actually officially retconned for Battle of Gods and Super btw, apparently, we were just supposed to figure out that it was since Toriyama didn't bother telling anyone why he did that until he was specifically asked about it in an interview.

Will most likely view Toonami or at least most of it with you guys tonight. Can't wait to hang out. The current arc of H x H, in particular, should be moving along to some interesting plot elements soon if I'm not mistaken.

mochi[/member] In regards to the original OP, that is very interesting. I usually don't watch any type of sports, cooking, or gaming centered animes (though I did recently start watching Kakegurui and it is a fantastic anime about gambling), as they are usually not my cup of tea. However, I have heard All-Out is really good by a large number of people even among sport's animes, of which I have really only watched Free! and Yuri on Ice, and even then though I appreciated the beauty of the emotions and drama I found mostly boring....... and only watched because my current love interest wanted to watch them with me. Now I know how straight guys feel when they get dragged to see Sandra Bullock movies lmao. I suppose I just gravitate towards action, sci-fi, horror, and mystery animes. In fact, my tastes are very odd and the more eccentric, violent, insane, or horrific it is the more I tend to like it. I am a big fan of stuff like Dead Man Wonderland, Gantz, Berserk, Elfen Lied, and Higurashi type stuff, when I'm not watching shounen about Pirates, Adventure, Spaceships, Super Heros, and blowing shit up with energy blasts and laser beams.

There are plenty of current anime and manga that have gay characters either as supporting or the main cast, however they are mostly strictly romance animes as I pointed out. What you are talking about is that it is not normalized in mainstream shounen or seinen animes, which I would definitely agree with. I would attribute this to a lack of gay authors or even authors that have first-hand experiences to draw on through relatives or close friends that are gay making those types of animes. I don't know this for a fact and is obviously a difficult assumption to prove, but I think it isn't an illogical or unlikely one. Another possible explanation is that many of those types of animes are aimed primarily at 12 to 18-year-old boys and in seinen case young adult males, which obviously the majority of which are straight and thus would be mostly uninterested at the material's inclusion. That ultimately leads to either a lack of willingness to include such characters by authors that otherwise would in order to not detract from the popularity or by choice of editors and publishers who would view it as a risk to profit and success. Just to further illustrate my point in the difference in the portrayal by genre. I would like to include that I can really only name four non-romance themed anime from the last 10 years with canonical gay male characters and a few with lesbian characters. They would be Agame ga Kill, One Piece, Mirai Niki, and One Punch man (with the last being a parody caricature). As for Lesbians, there are probably more than this, but the ones that stand out are Attack on Titan, Psycho-Pass, and One Piece. There are a few more but they are much older and pretty unique/isolated for their time period. Sailor Moon, Neon Genisis Evangelion being the most obvious examples.

The two most in question are Rin and Haru, though they are lifelong childhood friends so it is possible that the intense and somewhat romantic type of expression expressed between them is simply due to that. The sexuality of the boys including those two is never stated or explored, but I think it is heavily implied they have strong possible romantic feelings for eachother. As someone whose first boyfriend was first a lifelong childhood friend, I can attest that this type of relationship is pretty prevalent among gay men at least (though it is probably not the most common experience, it is certainly not uncommon).

There are a lot more than there used to be coming out such as Yuri on Ice, Junjou Romantica, and Super Lovers. With many others having strongly implied though unconfirmed gay feelings/romance such as Free. Most of these are in the romance category only though, it would be nice to see a normalized relationship as a part of a character's identity in a non-romance anime. This isn't really very important to me as it is to some others, as I don't usually care very much about whether a character is actually in love with an anime but rather see it as a nice addition if integrated into the story properly. It'd be a nice extra cherry on top to see some normalized gay characters or even just flirting that is not immediately shunned or portrayed as embarrassing in non-romance anime, but it is not that important to me like I said.

In reference to the comments about Hisoka, while I admit he is very creepy and perverted in a lot of scenes. I'd definitely say he is one of the few characters portrayed as gay in anime where being gay is not the main crux of his character but rather just a facet that is referenced. It is just too bad that he is an anti-hero and is a straight-up creeper most of the time. This premise of portraying a character's sexuality or otherwise minority status as just a part of their character is my personal favorite type of inclusion. Otherwise, you end up with anime or even other media either forcing in gay characters for the emphasis on being inclusive, edgy, progressive, or simply cause the author thinks the type of character is cute to have around (like a pet). This to me is the only type of inclusion of a character that I really find offensive and distasteful because it basically is saying "this character is gay/black/lesbian/other-nationality/other religion and has no other purpose for being in this story. If I see this in an anime, manga, book, movie, tv show I instantly think to myself "I wish they had just not included this character". Anyways, just had to get that off my chest lol.

Do any of you hardcore weeb gurus know? I'm a bit lost on this topic as I'm not a weeb and have limited knowledge of what can pass as a waifu and what can not.

Phillies[/member] You got my laugh when I got to "tile cleaner", lmao.
