I'm here for the gay (the LGBTQ+ anime/manga discussion thread)

[J24601]

Doukyuusei mostly fits the "no dubcon/rape" criteria (despite having one short scene involving a teacher coming on to a student).

I'm pretty much, seconding Doukyuusei, it's about as good as you're ever going to get, in terms of a nice, and consensual romance in this genre without really a whiff of either of those.

It's kinda disheartening that Doukyuusei is the only one truly free of dubcon and rape, because I definitely understand that it is not everyone's cup of tea.

But, as anime catches up (as I think it will soon... or at least I hope) we will get more anime and eventually everyone will find the anime for them.

It doesn't look like we'll be getting anything worthwile the next season, except for Asagao to Kase-san.

I'm so far behind on current thoughts about LGBTQ.
I'm hearing about people adding more to the general group, people want to subtract some people because there is enough general understanding about what certain people are like.
Head hurts....

If that show is half as adorable as that short I found, it's gonna be quite the treat.

It's because gender and sexuality are on a spectrum, not neat and clear cut categories. And plenty people within these often-victimized minorities are still bigots towards other minorities on the spectrum, unfortunately.
Then you can add in the myriad other angles to approach the topic from outside of these minorities, and you get even more of a clusterfuck, be they TERFs, religious fundamentalists or whatever other exclusionary views.
Then factor in those that are simply ignorant and it all gets even worse.

The part that's been so educational is that people are not little boxes that you can put in a warehouse.
Why do we have to learn this over and over again?

 

[BrainBlow]

Want.

 

[Starletka]

Want.

My body is ready.

 

[worknboy]

I'm happy as hell! thank you CSPAN! The wave is coming. Don't discount the next generation. You all will change the world for all of us!

 

[Nicknames]

Want.

I want it, and I want it nao. Waiting for june (+ how long it'd take for fansubs to sub this) is going to be quite painful

 

[randomredneck]

Want.

Adorable Yuri with no stupid gimmick like boning your step-sister or cheating on your boyfriends.

Bring it on!

 

[Starletka]

Uhhhhh ... I have questions. Many questions.

Uhhhhh ... I have questions. Many questions.

Damn, looks so trashy. I'm kind of intrigued, because I'd get annoyed with a full series and something so trashy, but might be fun for a couple of OVAs. Are the mushrooms supposed to be dicks or are they supposed to indicate these boys are poisonous? Probably both.

Nothing spells "Love" like blackmailing someone for sex:

Too bad, because the synopsis starts out like this

Takato Saijyo has reigned as the idol industry's "Most Huggable"

That both sweet and super innocent.

Suffice it to say the synopsis goes downhill really fast from that point onward.

Yes, it's a real bummer. But every modern gay story needs some sort of shocking gimmick apparently for some reason now.

Soon it'll be more shocking if it's about a relationship built on mutual respect and trust between adult peers.

That dude in pink reminds me of the speed freak from my days in the trailer park.

Hey, I finally agree with Shin on something. Must be a blue moon.

 

[ShinShini]

Hey, I finally agree with Shin on something. Must be a blue moon.

That would be a better gimmick for a story than that blackmail shit at least.

What's with this wave of shounen-ai adaptations all of a sudden? All I know about this one is that it apparently starts really good and then it turns into a stereotypical plotless shizzle.
