Not to say I don't get what you mean at all, I have a vague sense more like... I don't immediately entirely know if you mean because Richard isn't a good person, or the story is dodgy with LGBT elements, or something else because I've seen it used so differently.
@daisicles
I always think rep is a complicated thing, because it means different things to different people. I see people use it to mean like, 'an ideal lgbt character' and sometimes used to mean 'an lgbt character I would personally like and be interested in'. Personally I'm more interested in the latter, but I always am not entirely sure what the extent of rep is, you know*
(*thinkin about enta being called bad rep when what I want is complex lgbt characters who fuck up, that's part of it lol. I think there's a definite debate between two spheres of content right now, in general, moreso in places like twit)

That said, what you said is interesting. I've really kept my eye on the show because I like dark themes + complex characters and it FEELS like it has those. From what you're saying, sounds right, but like it'll be a hard watch. I'm very interested and hope the adaptation is done well.
I mean to be fair, I think that's true of most LGBT characters hahaAs far as trans issues are concerned, I don't think there will ever be a character EVERYONE will be happy with. Whether it's in anime/manga or western media. There will always be something.

It's very hard to really get into anything of depth without displeasing some people
That said, honestly probably Nitori (from Wandering Son) is the trans character with the most mass appeal
I keep telling myself I'm going to binge read the entire manga for wandering son, when I loved the anime a lot. Also Chizuru is such a baller:
Well, there's Venus from Heaven's Design Team. I haven't seen anyone mad about her.As far as trans issues are concerned, I don't think there will ever be a character EVERYONE will be happy with. Whether it's in anime/manga or western media. There will always be something.
Seems they're doing one about some older lesbians (nice)
I watched Umibe no Étranger and while I don't think it blew my mind in terms of BL I've seen, I still did enjoy it and no dub con is pretty great. That feels like a mythical unicorn these days to see more wholesome BL stories. It probably has one of the most tastefully handled sex scene I've seen too. Would recommend for BL fans.
I was actually pretty excited for this, but just watched it and was really disappointed. I guess it's just a prequel to the main story, but as prequels go, it didn't really interest me in further following it. The setup seemed pretty unnatural and the pacing was strange. Setting was pretty though. I feel like there's any number of other bl manga that would have had more value even as an ova episode, but it wasn't awful, I guess.
