Meilag32 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I hate that Gay characters are always such shallow characters why is it impossible for us to be protagonists?, why are we always villians and background characters? why do writers not treat us like human beings? While not specific to you, I heard the Legend of Korra ended with the two main protagonists ending up as a Lesbian couple (which apparently the creators had to clarify that they did).

Yes. They said they wanted to make it obvious that they were lesbians but because of network interference they could only imply it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comforts you, I've been writing a script for a graphic novel that has a bisexual black female as the MC. Assuming that I accumulate enough funding for it, I'll be pitching it to comic book distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roymustang1990 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Kurapika ain't no Shadow Beast. He outclasses those fucks by eons. Is this spoilers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickelodeon. We all should have seen it coming. Things won't change until this: dies out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSinger Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I think this was the episode where I became a big Melody fan because her presence stops Kurapika from being as insufferable as Sasuke(Yes, I know Sasuke came after, but he's a good example of douchiness for the sake of revenge). And I was rooting for the Shadow Beasts to die just because they're so fucking gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochi Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 That makes me more confident to create the story. yeah, it just annoys me slightly when writers act like there has to be some backstory based "reason" for a character to be gay, as if at some point a past event made the character become gay or they made a conscious decision to be Gay rather than treating the character's sexuality as just being a pre-established part of who they are like any straight character's sexuality is despite dieing so fast and having no love interest Bulaut was a good example of the opposite, it's established right away that he's gay, and it's just treated as a normal part of his character, there's no backstory explaining "why" he became gay because it doesn't work that way admittedly from what I understand the Japanese version of Akame ga Kill was filled with Homophobic jokes directed at Bulaut, (such as Tatsumi accusing him of being a rapist for no discernible reason) but the dub removed them all to make Tatsumi look like less of an asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
